Season 7 of The Latina Mom Legacy is here, and I’m so excited to bring you more empowerment, more tools, and more support to help you raise hijos que hablen español con orgullo and with ease.

For my family, summer was full of Spanish immersion, from celebrating my mami’s 80th birthday in the Dominican Republic (yes, she snorkeled for the first time!) to spending five weeks surrounded by Spanish in Florida. But I know that’s not the case for every familia.

Maybe your summer had less Spanish than you hoped, or maybe your bilingual routine completely unraveled. If that sounds like you, you’re definitely not alone. The good news? You can reset today.

3 Quick Bilingual Parenting Takeaways:

1. Summer dips are normal. Disrupted schedules, vacations, and more English exposure often push Spanish aside — but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed.
2. Reset, don’t restart. This is an opportunity to refresh your routine, add something fun, and approach Spanish time with a lighter mindset.
3. Anchor Spanish to daily life. Simple habits like breakfast chats, bedtime stories, or sticker charts can bring Spanish back into your routine consistently.
