SB Finds : De Todo Un Poco

It´s all about style these days with my bilingual princesa.  She´s almost three and at the stage where she has to choose her own clothes and will go loquita if I try to dress her in pants. She´s not having any of that. The self-declared princesa will only wear dresses and flowy skirts. Oh, sí. Last week we received a package with an adorably cute t-shirt from Hola Baby online store.  They sent her a stylish white tee with twoRead More ...

We all know we are constantly looking for original activities to engage our little one´s in.  Have you ever thought about yoga?  And how about if you can add some Spanish into the mix? That´s exactly what Lina Navía, former telenovela star, turned yoga instructor has so beautifully created with her Ümbral Yoga con Lina Navía DVD. Lina has set out to educate the Hispanic community about the health and wellness benefits of yoga as an integral part of ourRead More ...

Yesterday we published Part 1 of this post with a list of some of the coolest Finds featuring iconic and classic Day of the Dead symbols such as calaveras and calacas. Today we continue with the feast. Enjoy! Chocolate Day of the Dead Skulls One of the most traditional aspects of a Día de los Muertos celebration are the chocolate and sugar calaveras, or skulls, you get and give as gifts.  It´s usual to personalize it with the name ofRead More ...

While many are busy getting ready for Halloween, we want to spice things up a bit for the bicultural families amongst us with a little Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) feast.

Latinos know how to turn everything into aRead More ...

I swore I wouldn’t be one of those moms who started her baby’s memory book with fervor and wrote something on it every single day from the moment she was born only to stop doing it abruptly after about her second birthday. But, I have to fess up: that’s exactly what has happened. However, because I believe in second chances, a couple of weeks before my newborn, Santiago, was born back in August, I frantically started looking for a memoryRead More ...

Everybody was raving about my newborn son at a recent family + friend’s get-together – and it wasn’t only because some were meeting him for the very first time. The main reason is that he is PRECIOSO (ok, I’m a little biased ) and now he has the clothes for all the world to know! When I got Latin Baby’s Precioso onesie in the mail, I chuckled because that’s probably one of the terms of endearment I use the mostRead More ...

Anything that helps make mealtime at my house more fun and cute gets an A+ in my book. Add to that the fact that these chic Alphabet Placemats are bilingual, double-sided, heavy duty, washable and can be personalized with vibrant colors and by adding your kid’s nombre. An ingenious mamá of three from Miami created a very special line of Alphabet Plates and Placemats that can be completely customized to make it a unique gift for your family or aRead More ...

Creativity, culture, imagination and fun all in one little kit. I wished I would have found these make-your-own-piñata kits when my girl turned two.  Since she´s terrified of basically all types of piñatas after she witnessed the destruction of a Dora-shaped one, this one would have been a perfect way to involve her in the process and maybe that way she would have been more receptive to the idea. We could have picked the shape she wanted from the elephant,Read More ...
