Recently, I wrote about ways to enrich your bilingual child’s vocabulary over at our sister site, SpanglishBaby, and one of the tips was to try to make everything into a topic of conversation. Coincidentally, the same day, I got the product pictured above which is a table game about exactly that: questions – from the thought-provoking to the trivial – to get a conversation going. I’ve always been a fan of board games. I used to spend endless hours playingRead More ...
I was one of those mother´s-to-be that swore I wouldn´t let my kid control my music selection. That my iPod and my playlist would be that one-sacred-thing I was not willing to give up. Either she liked MY music or ni modo. Ay, one more parenting joke on me. Luckily, my girl has great taste. We do most of our music listening in the car and she has some very cool CDs (past Finds, of course!) to choose from. But,Read More ...
This giveaway is now closed! Thanks for participating and CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNER #6 Chrysa!! My three-year-old daughter, Vanessa, loves our black Lab, Max, even when he slobbers all over her just to say hello. But, she hasn’t been alive long enough to know/understand certain things about him – like the fact that, left to his own devices, he pretty much can chew away anything in sight. I’m talking from shoes to his plastic water bowl. Unfortunately, this has meantRead More ...

There are 27 cards in the box andRead More ...
We’ve been blown away by the beauty and the captivating characters of UP, Disney*Pixar’s newest movie to hit the home-entertainment stands in full force today, November 10th. When it came out in theaters, amongst critical buzz and massive audience approval, and took its righteous first place at the box office on its opening weekend, I was acting nonchalant as if I really didn’t care that I didn’t yet have an excuse to take my then toddler girl to the movies.

One of the biggest challenges of raising a preschooler is to get their focus and attention for at least five minutes. Well, that´s the case in my house. I mean, we´re finally getting to the stage where storytime doesn´t mean ripping and biting books! That´s why I felt we passed a milestone yesterday when my girl and I peacefully sat down to name the colorful objects in Eeboo´s Spanish Flash Cards. What I thought was going to turn into aRead More ...
An interesting fact about the third installment of the popular Ice Age saga Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (or Ice Age 3) is that since its premiere in theaters worldwide this summer, it has made three times more revenue internationally than it has in the U.S. In some foreign countries it has been the biggest hit since the movie “Titanic” made impact. Such is the case in many Latin American countries where the film has been released in SpanishRead More ...
