I love Dr. Suess and all the nostalgia that images of the Cat in Hat bring. When my almost-5-year-old was a baby I couldn’t resist a good deal I found to get a tote and 5 Dr. Suess books for some ridiculously minimal price and I bought a couple of others along the way. Imagine my excitement when I learned that some of these classics are available in Spanish! I have a mini collection of Dr. Suess books in spanish. Here are all of th ..read more

At present day, I have a 4.5 year old and a 4.5 month old. In the last months of my pregnancy leading up until very recently,  my older child spent more time than I’d like in front of the TV. While there are other contributing factors (i.e. a whole new baby sister turning life on its head), my 4.5 year old son has been acting out more and a lot of his meltdowns happen about issues surrounding the TV. I needed to focus on wean ..read more

In October of 2021 I had a D&C after a miscarriage and that was followed by putting my efforts to conceive on pause for a couple of months. By January 2022, we started trying to conceive again! We were using all the products to help us get pregnant at home. In July I did fertility consultations and the Day 3 and Day 21 labwork. August my husband had a sperm analysis–twice. And we made adjustments to my husband’s supplements and ..read more

Last Updated on August 21, 2022 by Mama “Len Adler, M.D., one of the leading researchers in adult ADHD and a professor of psychiatry at New York University, believes that at least 75 percent of adults who have ADHD do not know that they have it.” ADDitude Magazine Boys are twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Not because they are more likely to have it but because they have a tendency to show signs of hyperactivity, which is easier to spot than inattentiveness. Undiagnosed girls grow into undiagnosed women with ADHD and the challenges that come with it intensify during parenthood. Since ..read more

I had a Winnie the Pooh birthday party when my son turned 3 and it came out adorable, if I do say so myself. Why Winnie the Pooh? My little boy really loves Winnie the Pooh movies and episodes. Particularly the Heffalump movie featuring Lumpy and Roo. While incorporating Lumpy was impossible to do with regards to party supplies like plates and napkins without customizing, I found several ways to bring him in. Pooh-l Party Invitation W ..read more

Last Updated on April 9, 2022 by Mama As a mom raising a toddler who only speaks Spanish, I am intimately aware of all the limitations for babies and toddlers who don’t speak English in the United States. Not all the books are available for Spanish-speaking toddlers. Not every television program or movie has a Spanish audio option. Toys that speak are usually in English. Theme parks and activities are not fully enjoyable for our little ones. So how do we best navigate these voids? Where are the secret gems our little Spanish-speakers shouldn’t miss out on? They exist and I have seen questions ..read more
