The PapiBlogger Family circa late 2013.

The PapiBlogger Family when we launched in May 2010.
Four years ago this month, in a move that was truly spur of the moment but timed to coincide with my first annual Hispanicize event in Dallas, I launched PapiBlogger.com in order to document my own family’s evolution and share parenting “tricks” along the way.
In the time since that fateful day in May of 2010, PapiBlogger.com has been with me through the growth of my family (Naomi was born in 2012), four epic family summer road trips, the vast expansion of the annual Hispanicize event (we’re already organizing Hispanicize 2015), the launch of Hispanicize Wire and so much more.
After a much-needed, five month hiatus, today marks the return, relaunch and refresh of PapiBlogger.com. The new web site is optimized to give you, my readers, a better experience but don’t worry about the content as I will continue to blog about all things family, travel and life-related.
My first PapiBlogger post of the year is a very special one because it captures something near and dear to my heart: a 17-day family vacation that my wife and I recently took to Italy. That YouTube post will be up a little later today but trust me, if you love Italy or want to visit, you won’t want to miss it because it’s a classic. Well folks, thanks so much for sticking with me for the journey thus far.
With God’s help I will continue to give my best to making PapiBlogger a worthwhile destination full of thoughts, ideas and insights worth sharing. P.S. Please be sure to follow me on Instagram (my favorite micro blog platform), Facebook and Twitter. For those of you who strictly want to know what I have to say about travel you can now see my monthly stories on Best Western’s own blog, YouMustBeTrippin.
