My friends hosted my baby shower for Lily and it was so awesome. It was children’s book themed and they did a fantastic job carrying through the theme in every area. There were piles of old books as decor, dyed pages as a photo backdrop, candy in little books as party favors, and every dessert …
Mama, you may feel like you have a whole ton of stuff to do and no time to do it. Your baby finally fell asleep and you could get a lot done. But also, your heart yearns to cuddle. That’s fine. It’s good to cuddle. Treasure your baby and treasure the time with them. They …
Disneyland at Christmas is one of my favorite things. Disneyland alone is one of my favorite things, but add Christmas to it and it’s truly extra magical! This year obviously Christmas looks different, but I made a fun scavenger hunt for you and your family to do if you decide to visit Downtown Disney and …

I want my daughter to grow up fluent in both English and Spanish. To help her get there (and to help me learn Spanish) we have been borrowing English-Spanish books from the library. These are our favorites. These are our favorite English baby books. This is our favorite Halloween book. I also shared some tips on reading to your …
