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 memory book for him, but all I could find were different versions of the exact same one I’d bought for Vanessa more than three years ago. The weird thing is that they seemed to be from different companies and the designs and font were totally different, but the content was exactly the same.
And then, I found this memory book in Spanish called “Esta es mi historia” sold exclusively through the online store, Dolls Like Me, which we recently reviewed here. And I was truly surprised by its originality.
Here’s a few things I really liked about it:
- It’s in Spanish – Yay!
- It’s a three-ring binder – meaning you can add or take out the pages
- As you can see in the picture above, it includes categories that only Latinos celebrate, like Reyes Magos.
Ok, time for another confession. The memory book goes all the way from birth to your child’s high school graduation. I’m sorry, but I don’t see it happening. If I thought going all the way to first grade was too much, imagine keeping memories for 12 more years! Anyhow, it’s nice to know it’s there. I bet I’ll probably be really diligent and excited about filling out the pages of some of the years, while some of the others will stay as clean and empty as they are right now 
Either way, at least it’s totally different from anything else out there!

I like the Multi-cultural pose and play families. Although I wish they had a mix-and-match option. We’ve been wanting to get my son a doll house and I love these dolls but I’d love for the dolls to look like our family – we’re not all Latino or all Caucasian.
I subscribe via e-mail also.
Finally I can buy my daughter a doll! She is 2 years and 3 months old and I did not want to buy her any Barbies or Disney princess dolls because I want her to have a healthy safe concept. Now I can search for a doll that resembles her!
Very important to see more multi-cultural dolls and toys in the market-place today. Dolls like me, make a Salvadoran doll! Wish we had more examples like these when we were growing up. Hope to see more in stores one day.
Me encanto la linea para niños con impedimentos. ´La mu´ñeca con sindrome de down me parece super especial.

Really glad to see more multi-cultural dolls. This is a great site. Thanks
