We all know Disney likes to do things in a large scale and the surprises they´ve revealed for this summer are no exception.  No matter how many times you´ve been to the Disneyland Resort, or if this is your first time, your family will have a blast discovering all the new attractions and shows that make for a Disney Soundsational Summer, June 3 through Sep. 5. Last week I was invited to a media event to learn and experience first-handRead More ...

The summer solstice may not have arrived yet, but the heat, the thunderstorms, and (in Florida) the swarming bugs have. Memorial Day cookouts are just the beginning: hopefully you’re all geared up for a few months of pool or beach trips and plenty of helado. One of my favorite things about summer is having extra time for reading. Cuando yo era niña, I used to drive my parents and grandparents crazy with endless trips to the library and bookstore. IRead More ...

In their search for high quality Spanish classes for their own children, two accomplished Latina mothers founded Isabella & Ferdinand Spanish Language Adventures.  Their innovative Spanish language-learning program for children includes the exciting CD-Olé and Play!  Songs from Isabella & Ferdinand Spanish Language Adventures.  The music is fabulous and is a great way to introduce your child to Spanish and the cultures of Spanish speaking countries.  Produced by Grammy and Multiple Latin Grammy award winner Andres Castro, and sung byRead More ...

I won’t get tired of saying it: there’s a huge lack in the area of bilingual and Spanish board books for the littlest ones in the house — unless of course they’re brought from outside the U.S. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks so because Children’s Book Press, one of our favorite multicultural publishing houses, recently announce its plans to start releasing bilingual board books for children ages 0-5. The first book in their new series is MyRead More ...

Today is the day you get to bring the lovable Gnomeo and Juliet home on DVD and Blu-ray.  Six months ago we got to live this adorable twist on the classic Shakespeare tale on the big screen and now you and your kids can live it all over again. My girl lived it so much that she got up and danced all over the living room when each one of the rocking songs came on.  The movie’s soundtrack is veryRead More ...

I was recently lucky enough to recieve a Fofos handmade sweater to review for my six-month old baby, Lucia.  Before I sing the praises of the lovely sweater, I’d like to quote from www.fofosbabyboutique.com to highlight one of the things that sets this company apart: “Fofos Baby Boutique is excited to have partnered with the Obra Social Legaria in Mexico City, a not for profit association that helps low income Mexicans raise themselves out of poverty by giving them the toolsRead More ...

I was that kid, the one who would disappear under the coffee table with a book for hours at a time, according to my mother.  Books were my passion, my refuge.  And I assumed that if I surrounded my own children with books from day one, if we read bedtime stories every night and made reading a priority, they would love books as much as I do. So I did, and so far, they do.  We have books on ourRead More ...
