“Oh No Gotta Go!” Review
This beautiful bilingual children’s book by Susan Middleton Elya is perfect for children who are in the process of potty training! Is great for ages 3-7, but my son is 2 years old and definitely enjoyed it and I found it very helpful for potty training. I had found this gem at a library bookstore about a year ago and had not read it. I bought it at such a low price and I just wanted to add it to our mini library since it was bilingual. Little did I know that this book was per

“Fruits with Adam & Eve|Frutas con Adán y Eva” Review with Author Interview
The bilingual children’s picture book “Fruits with Adam & Eve|Frutas con Adán y Eva” by Bianca Cerrato is such a beautiful book! We received this amazing board book with so much love in our home. This book is perfect for our toddler son who is learning the colors, fruits and about God in both Spanish and English. There are not many bilingual christian picture books available and that is our favorite category. My son wants me to read this book everyday to him. He loves pointi

“Señorita Mariposa” Review
It is truly an honor to recommend the bilingual children’s book “Señorita Mariposa” by the author Ben Gundersheimer (also known as Mister G.) and illustrated by Marcos Almada Rivero. This beautiful book was just released a few weeks ago! The story is based off one of Mister G’s songs and inspired through his international travels. I love the idea to motivate children to protect the Monarch butterflies. During one of my vacation trips to the Florida Keys, I had the opportunity

“Luca’s Bridge” Review
Thankful for the Advance Reader’s Copy of this book! It releases on 4/16! I really enjoyed reading this book “Luca’s Bridge”. The reality is very sad when a family is deported, but I did like how it showed a positive light with the boy playing his trumpet in acceptance of the changes in his life. I did enjoy how it portrays the family’s Mexican culture in the story, though the music, food, landscape, and the family. This book promotes a compassion for immigrants in the United

“Malty the Blue Tiger|Marita la tigresita azul” Review
We love bilingual books and this week we are sharing “Malty the Blue Tiger” by K. Kloss. We have really enjoyed this book, so much that Ezra is already expanding his vocabulary instantly when reading this book. He started saying “Chirp, Chirp” in Spanish “PÍo, PÍo” for the first time and pointed out the new animals he has been learning. I definitely recommend this book, it is a very fun read and it’s a great resource for both parents and children to learn Spanish. We are so e

New Sesame Street Park at SeaWorld Orlando!
Had an amazing time today at the #passholder Sesame Street Preview at SeaWorld Orlando! Ezra had a blast! He rode Elmo’s Choo Choo Train ride, met Elmo and Cookie Monster for pictures and then the rest of the characters during their award winning parade! The parade was beautiful, it happens twice daily, at 2 PM and at 430 PM. We had lunch from one the food trucks. We ordered 2 chicken tempura tenders with fries and ranch sauce, which you can order in a bigger quantity as well

Motherhood the Struggle is Real 🤱
One of the top reasons I made this blog is because motherhood can be a bit lonely. It’s real life. Especially when your friends have other interests, live far, work, & don’t have kids… so many obstacles to bond or even catch up. I’m super extroverted, although don’t get me wrong I enjoy my alone time…but sometimes I get so excited about new mom things/women stuff and there’s no one around to share it with. My lovely husband is my best friend and I talk to him often, but I als

Cactus Adventure 🌵
Where are my Cactus Lovers at? Being a Florida Resident has its perks! I love exploring the outdoors, especially since everything is new for my one year old son. He is in his exploring stage, so why not? This summer I decided to pick up some friends and take a mini road trip to the Florida Cactus Inc. Nursery in Apopka, FL. A FUN place to visit to see the beautiful Cacti & Succulents! | ¿Dónde están los amantes de los cactus? Hay muchos beneficios con ser residente de la Flor

Mommy & Baby Adventures 🌳
Something I wanted to share for a while! What can make a playground super fun?! The mommy & me swing! I did not know this existed until another momma shared this little secret with me. There’s one at Red Bug Lake Park in Central Florida, but I’m sure there’s more of them all over the world. Moms take your babies and toddlers to a park with some of these. They are so much fun not just for you both, but for the whole family to bond with the baby! ¡Hace unas semanas que quería c
