| As you might have noticed from our posts over the past week, we were nominated for Best Bilingual Blogger at the LATISM 2012 Conference. Houston hosted the conference this year and the conference featured many popular Latino/a bloggers. We couldn’t be there this year but we hope to join in the fun at future conferences. | Seguro notaron en los posts de la semana pasada que fuimos nominados como Mejor Blog Bilingue en la conferencia LATISM 2012. Houston fue la ciudad que hospedo la conferencia este ano, donde muchos de los blogeros latinos mas populares se juntaron. No pudimos estar ahí este ano pero esperamos poder unirnos a ellos en futuras conferencias. |
above is our nomination, below is a pic of the mini endorsement we got from the Latino Rebels to vote for us! THAT was pretty awesome
| In case you are wondering…we did not win the award. To be honest, we never even expected to be nominated. We didn’t know the nominations were open or happening, so the nomination was a huge boost for our blogging morale. Even more exciting was to get comments from our readers that voted for us, love the blog, and enjoy the fact that we write everything in English and Spanish. We want to congratulate all the winners and the nominees in each category! Just think about how many blogs exist out there…being recognized at all is a huge accomplishment. The winner in our category was Mamá Contemporánea – you all should definitely go check out her amazing blog! We were flattered and honored to be placed in the same category with this blog and Creciendo con Todas las Habilidades – the other blog in our category. | En caso que se pregunten…no ganamos el premio. Para ser honestos, ni siquiera esperábamos ser nominados. Tampoco sabíamos que las nominaciones estaban abiertas o que estaban ocurriendo, asi que ser nominados fue un embion de energía blogera. Aun mas emocionante fue recibir comentario de nuestros lectores contándonos que votaron por nosotros, que les gusta el blog, y que disfrutan el hecho que escribimos en ingles y español. Queremos felicitar a todos los ganadores y nominados en cada categoría! Solo piensen cuantos blog existen…ser reconocidos es un gran logro. El blog ganador de nuestra categoría fue Mama Contemporánea – tienen que visitar ese blog, es fantástico! Fue un honor ser nominados en la misma categoría con este blog y con Creciendo con Todas las Habilidades – el otro nominado en la categoría. |

| The bottom line is: we never could have been recognized if it weren’t for our readers. That is it! We could have the most amazing blog with all the bells and whistles and media but if nobody read it, it wouldn’t matter. So THANK YOU! Thank you for motivating us to keep writing, for engaging with us, for commenting and liking the posts. Since we never would have had a chance at winning without you all, we want to offer our readers a chance to win a little something from us as a thank you. | La base de todo esto es: nunca nos hubiesen reconocido si no fuera por nuestros lectores. Eso! Podemos tener el blog mas increíble con todas las cosas extra pero si nadie lee, no importa nada. Asi que GRACIAS! Gracias por su motivación que nos mantiene escribiendo, por comprometerse con nosotros, y por comentar y gustar nuestros posts. Como no hubiésemos tenido posibilidad alguna de ganas sin nuestros lectores, queremos ofrecerles la oportunidad de ganar un regalito de nuestra parte como agradecimiento. |

Dudes! I can’t believe you didn’t win. I seriously thought you would…But it’s still really cool to be nominated!! I really want that t-shirt, since I’m obsessed with the banjo!!! So let’s see here…I think one of my favorite palabras en espanol es “cacahuate.” It’s fun to say! En ingles, maybe, “rural” because it’s hard to say…AND it reminds me of that 30 Rock episode where Jenna stars in the film ‘The Rural Juror’, and nobody can pronounce it correctly. It’s really funny. XO, Tobi
Ahaha cacahuate is a good one! In Chile we use a different word for cacahuate, we say mani (which is completely different!)
I did see the episode of the rural juror! So funny. World and squirrel fit also in the hard-to-say category, at least for non native speakers. Ahaha thanks for participating! Good luck!
So, since we only had two people enter our giveaway, we decided you BOTH win! yay!! So send us an e-mail with your address and Tshirt size (S,M,L,XL) and we’ll have a package out for you this week!! Thanks for entering!!
Oh exciting! I’ll take it 🙂

Congrats on the nomination! As for my favorite word, in Spanish, it’s “mojado” – it’s such an elegant word for “wet.” In English, my favorite word is “brobdingnagian” – it means huge or gigantic.
thanks! hahahaha well chalk that up to my “learn something new every day” for today – brobdingnagian!! That’s awesome.
There is a good word for playing Dictionary! hahaha Thanks Nathan!

This sounds vain but I love how my given name sounds in Spanish Patricia. Pa-tree-see-ah. Much better than Pa-trish-ah.
