Dreamcatchers are great to help kids with nightmares. I made some and I want to show you how to make a dreamcatcher too because&amp;nbsp;it was fun and maybe you'll need it one day like us. And you also might need to know how to use it, how to make the dreamcatcher catch those nightmares (we had to learn, it wasn't that easy!).&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
It all started one day when Adrian came to me saying that he had been having scary dreams and he thought he needed a dreamcatcher. Well, good thing he provided me with the solution to his problem! So I&amp;nbsp;immediately&amp;nbsp;started to find out how to make him one, and it really had to be quick&amp;nbsp;because&amp;nbsp;he did complain every night about scary guys coming in his dreams. I researched and then went out and decided to get colorful twines and decided to make the ring out of sticks, I love the natural look of it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

How to make a Dreamcatcher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;-Scroll down for step-by-step images-&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Supplies:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Color twine&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sticks (Not too big so you can fold them a little)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hemp twine (preferible brown to blend with the sticks)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Feathers&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Beads&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Instructions:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;For the ring. &lt;/b&gt;Grab about 3 sticks together and with a little bit of hemp twine tie them looping around the sticks several times&amp;nbsp;in both ends and in the center if necessary.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grab 2 or 3 more sticks and tie them together with the first group. Tie the knots wherever you consider necessary. Don't try to bend the sticks too much at this point.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Continue&amp;nbsp;tying&amp;nbsp;more sticks to the group until you have a long line and you can bend it well enough to make a ring and tie them all back around. The circle we made was about 7-8 inches wide.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;For the web.&lt;/b&gt; Cut about 10 feet of the color twine and roll it up in a ball.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tie a knot with one end of the twine around the ring of sticks.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Loop the twine around the ring following the arrows in the graphic below (go first on top of the ring and bring it in from behind it going over the twine again), leave about 1.5" in between each loop, make them tight.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When you reach the first loop again start looping on the middle of the first loose area that was left in-between each loop and pull it tight, continue doing this until you reach the center.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tie a knot in the middle when you are done weaving the whole ring and cut what's remaining of the twine.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;For the feathers and beads.&lt;/b&gt; Grab 2 or more feathers and tie a knot around them with twine. You can hang them on the bottom part of the dreamcatcher any&amp;nbsp;length&amp;nbsp;you want. My suggestion is to play with different&amp;nbsp;lengths&amp;nbsp;and hang at least 3 feathers to it.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you want to add beads, make a knot before looping the bead in so it will stay in position and then make another know afterwards and add another and so on.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Tip: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;It can be made with so many different things, you can also add beads looping them in the web while making it and add special details that the person will identify with like long strips of fabrics hanging, felt shapes, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Tips for how to make a Dreamcatcher catch bad dreams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
After I made him the dreamcatcher, we hung it on one of walls by his bed and tried it. He woke up the next morning saying: &lt;i&gt;Mami, the dreamcatcher didn't work.&lt;/i&gt; Oh no! I wasn't really prepared for it not to work!! So we tried different things for several days until it did finally work, but it took us one full week while those bad dreams kept showing up! So here is how we recommend to use a dreamcatcher effectively:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hang it over the head of your bed.&lt;/b&gt; It will be the closest to your head were your dreams occur. We hung it over the side of it the first time and we believe that wasn't helping at all.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make sure it is clean.&lt;/b&gt; If you just made it, it will be clean but as time goes by remember to clean it once in a while.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Make a prayer every night before going to sleep.&lt;/b&gt; I sat with Adrian and talked to the dreamcatcher asking it to help get rid of the bad dreams&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Be specific.&lt;/b&gt; We said out loud what things were the "Bad and scary" parts of the dreams so the dreamcatcher would know exactly what to go for.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Try to think about good and fun things before going to sleep. &lt;/b&gt;And lastly, you also have to help a little by thinking good feelings before going to bed, the more you help the dreamcatcher the better!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
After all those days, these were the steps we covered and it finally worked! Adrian is happy with his dreamcatcher and hasn't had huge nightmares anymore. If he comes up again with one I'll try to clean it and help him think about good things again. Oh and of course I had to make Maya one too, so the pink one in the pictures is hers!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Tutorial para hacer un Atrapasueños y cómo hacer que atrape las pesadillas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Los atrapasueños (o atrapapesadillas) son amuletos que ayudan mucho a los niños con las pesadillas y les quiero enseñar como hacer un atrapapesadilla a ustedes también ya que es divertido y a lo mejor algún día les va a servir de ayuda como a nosotros. Ya también necesitarán una pequeña guía de cómo usarlos para que atrapen bien esos sueños feos (no fué fácil para nosotros, tuvimos que aprender como hacerlo!).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Todo empezó un día en que Adri me dijo que estaba teniendo pesadillas y que necesitaba un&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;atrapasueños&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; Me gustó que me dió la solución a su problema de inmediato por lo menos y a mi que me gusta "hacer" cosas me puse de inmediato a buscar como hacer uno. Y fué rápido todo porque de verdad que el todas las mañanas se quejaba mucho de que tenía unos tipos que daban miedo en sus sueños... Pobrecito! Entonces averigüé y le hice uno con cordón de color y un anillo hecho de palitos de arbol que me gustó mucho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;
Como hacer un Atrapasueños (Dreamcatcher)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;-La imágen de arriba da el paso a paso visual-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Materiales:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Cordón de color&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Palitos naturales (Que no sean muy grandes para que se doblen un poquito)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hilo de cáñamo o encerado (preferiblemente marrón para que se confunda con los palitos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Plumas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Cuentas o bolitas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Instrucciones:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Para hacer el aro.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Agarra como 3 palitos juntos y con un poquito del hilo amárralos juntos en las puntas y en em medio si es necesario.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Agarra otros 2 o 3 palitos más y átalos al primer grupo de palitos en al punta. Has mas nuditos donde creas necesario para que se mantengan unidos los palitos No trates de doblarlos mucho toadavía.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Continúa atando más palitos al grupo hasta que tengas una tira larga y la puedas doblar para que se haga un aro y entonces átalo bien. El aro quCuando termines has un&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Para hacer el tejido&lt;/b&gt;. Corta como unos 10 pies del cordón de color y enróllalo en una pelotica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Haz un nudo con una punta del cordón en el aro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Ahora pasa el cordón por el aro según como indican las flechitas en el gráfico de arriba (por encima del aro, luego sácalo de atrás y vuélvelo a pasar por encima del mismo cordón).&amp;nbsp;deja como unas 1.5" entre cada vuelta y ponle tensión.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Cuando ya le hayas dado la vuelta al aro continúa enrollando el cordón de la misma manera pero ahora por el medio del cordón que quedó entre cada vuelta anterior. Continúa haciendo esto hasta que llegues al medio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Haz un nudo con el mismo cordón en el miedo bien apretado para que no se salga todo el tejido y corta lo que quede de cordón.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Para la parte de las plumas y las peloticas. Agarra unas 2 plumas juntas y amárralas con el cordón. Luego amárrala a la parte de abajo del atrapasueños a cualquier altura. Mi sugerencia es que las cuelgues todas a diferentes alturas y al menos 3 cordones con plumas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Si quieres añadir peloticas o cuentas haz un nudo antes de meter la cuenta para que se sostenga en su lugar y sigue añadiendo como más te parezca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;b style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Tip:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; Se puede hacer de muchas maneras, también puedes añadir cuentas mientras que estás tejiendo lo de adentro o añadir tiras de tela colgadas en la parte de abajo o figuras de fieltro... Cualquier cosa que sientas que identifique a la persona que será dueña del atrapasueños.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Tips para usar un atrapasueños&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Después de que hice el&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;atrapasueños&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; lo colgamos en la pared al lado de su cama y lo probamos una noche. A la mañana siguiente se despertó diciendo: Mami, el&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;atrapasueños&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;no sirvió. Ay no! La verdad no estaba preparada para hacer algo más allá del mismo amuleto, así que probamos con varias cosas por muchos días hasta que al fin funcionó! Pero nos tomó como una semana en que el pobre seguía con sus pesadillas y se levantaba diciéndo que no se habían espantado. Así que aquí les dejo mis recomendaciones para usarlo y que de verdad se vayan esos sueños feos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cuelga el&amp;nbsp;atrapasueños&amp;nbsp;arriba de la cabecera de la cama.&lt;/b&gt; Estará ubicado lo más cerca de tu cabeza donde ocurren los sueños. Nosotros lo colgamos en la pared de al lado y como que no servía mucho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Asegúrate de que esté limpio.&lt;/b&gt; Si apenas lo acabas de hacer sabes que está limpio pero mientras pasa el tiempo acuérdate de limpiarlo de vez en cuando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Todas las noches antes de dormir hazle una oración.&lt;/b&gt; Yo me senté con Adri y le hablamos al&amp;nbsp;atrapasueños&amp;nbsp;directamente pidiéndole que porfavor se llevara esos sueños malos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Se específico. &lt;/b&gt;Le dijimos en voz alta cuáles eran específicamente las partes de los sueños que le daba miedo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Piensa en cosas bonitas antes de dormir.&lt;/b&gt; Por último hay que ayudar al&amp;nbsp;atrapasueños&amp;nbsp;pensando ya desde el principio en algo que nos guste mucho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Todos estos pasos los intentamos uno por uno durante todos esos días y al final por fin funcionó! Adrian está contento con su atrapapesadillas y no ha tenido sueños feos desde hace tiempo. Si viene alguna pesadilla de nuevo trataré de limpiarlo y ayudarle a pensar en cosas bonitas otra vez. Ah y porsupuesto después le hice uno a Mayita también, el rosado es el de ella!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nd1WShh2FBg/UYyo0hAy9iI/AAAAAAAALaI/2r9aawtInBk/s1600/Mama_tomando_fotos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nd1WShh2FBg/UYyo0hAy9iI/AAAAAAAALaI/2r9aawtInBk/s640/Mama_tomando_fotos.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;I really like this photo of my mom, it makes me realize what an influence she has made on me, I see myself there clearly. And I love that.&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mami,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You have influenced me always. Ever since you started taking us every weekend to the museums and to the theater; ever since you were taking your camera everywhere and you had your own home photo-studio; ever since you left for months to study in Europe while I spent time with grandma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ever since you made me try all types of instrument classes, dancing classes, sports and anything there was so I could choose a favorite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ever since you decided to get a Master's degree, and take us along with you for 2 years to the US where we learned a new language and we&amp;nbsp;broadened&amp;nbsp;our whole world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even when you were working day and night as an acclaimed architect and we got to attend many Library Building inaugurations that YOU designed (You made us so proud and what a way to show us that &lt;b&gt;you can accomplish anything you desire in life&lt;/b&gt;!).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ever since you kept telling me that you thought I would love to go to college for Graphic Design (Moms really know everything!) and then you kept telling me to move out of the country and learn learn learn...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All these amazing life experiences have influenced me. I am now an independent, strong,&amp;nbsp;artistically&amp;nbsp;inclined, passionate woman and mother and I owe this all to you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I wouldn't have it any other way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to say thank you once again for everything, for teaching me all these traits that now I am passing along to Adrian and Maya. So remember that you are still Powerful and Fearless and that&amp;nbsp;because&amp;nbsp;of you, there will be many more generations to continue what you have taught.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love you Mami, &lt;br /&gt;
Dari&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Una carta a mi Mami en el día de la Madre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Me gusta mucho la primera foto de arriba de mi mamá, me hace darme cuenta de la influencia&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: #45818e;"&gt;que ha tenido en mí&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i style="color: #45818e;"&gt;, me veo claramente reflejada ahí, y eso me encanta.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Mami,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Desde siempre me has influenciado. Desde que nos llevabas todos los fines de semana a los museos y al teatro; desde cuando llevabas tu cámara para todos lados y hasta tenías tu estudio de fotografía en la casa; desde que te fuiste a Europa a estudiar y mientras tanto pasé un tiempo en casa de mi abuela.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Desde que me metiste en cuanta clase había, de música, de instrumentos, de deporte y demás para que experimentara y escogiera mi favorito.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Desde que decidiste obtener un Masters en Estados Unidos y llevarnos contigo por 2 años a aprender un nuevo idioma y a que se nos abriera el mundo y se nos ampliaran los horizontes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Incluso desde cuando estabas trabajando mucho como una arquitecta famosa y fuimos contigo a la inauguración de muchos edificios de bibliotecas diseñados por tí (Nos hiciste muy orgullosas y además nos demostraste que ¡se puede lograr todo lo que desees en la vida!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Y desde que me dijiste: Hija yo creo que a ti te gustaría la carrera de diseño gráfico (¡La verdad las mamás lo saben todo!!) y después me seguías diciendo que me fuera a otro país y así aprendiera mucho más...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Todas estas experiencias de vida maravillosas me han influenciado mucho. Ahora soy una mamá y una mujer independiente, fuerte, artística, apasionada y todo esto gracias a ti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Y no lo tendría de ninguna otra manera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Te quiero dar las gracias Mami, una vez más por todo lo que me has enseñado e inculcado, ahora es mi turno de enseñar todo esto y de influenciar a Adri y a Maya. Así que acuérdate que eres muy influyente y valiente y que por tí seguirán muchas generaciones que continuarán este camino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Te quiero Mamita,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

While putting together the&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/05/3-amigas-mothers-day-gift-guide-2013.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;3 Amigas Mother's Day Gift Guide&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;I had the opportunity to learn about Ebates, I didn't know about this before and I am liking it, so I'm going to show you a little more about it with this fun style board I made...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=n8PIPPQikN9Sexm%2F3xEq4Q%3D%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Ebates&lt;/a&gt; is a site were you can get cash back while shopping online, here are the steps you have to follow:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You go to &lt;a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=n8PIPPQikN9Sexm%2F3xEq4Q%3D%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;their site&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Then go to wherever you want to shop for example Amazon, Kohls, etc. Any store that they have listed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Buy the items you want.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And get a % cash back on your Ebates account of what you shopped for.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;b&gt;That's all!&lt;/b&gt; So for example if I want to get the &lt;a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/beachcoverups/PRDOVR~82055/82055.jsp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;J Crew striped tunic featured&lt;/a&gt; here, it costs&amp;nbsp;regularly&amp;nbsp;$88 and if I go through Ebates, you will get 6% cash back on that which means $5.28 in your Ebates acount! If I buy another item with and get that much cash back again you can then get the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NJUMIK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p197_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;amp;pf_rd_s=center-3&amp;amp;pf_rd_r=096DHHCBGCB6A3Y45DCV&amp;amp;pf_rd_t=101&amp;amp;pf_rd_p=470938811&amp;amp;pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;pretty&amp;nbsp;Fuchsia&amp;nbsp;necklace&lt;/a&gt; for free because it costs only $9.50.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
They are always having different cash back offers and right now because of Mother's Day they have Double Cash Back in many of the stores like the ones I featured in my board: J. Crew 6%, Amazon 3%, Kohls 6%, JC Penney 8%, Sephora 8% and Ebags 12%.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
For new members they offer a $10 giftcard after making their first purchase of $25 or more. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I just became a member yesterday, let's see how it goes!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;At the &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/151649411679916/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;3 Amigas Twitter party&lt;/a&gt; for the gift guide we will be giving away $100 on Ebates! It's tomorrow (5/8) at 5pm PST, see you there!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FRx2p-Rcg64/UYlvwK3mtFI/AAAAAAAALXs/3L3Mt-Uc4Rs/s1600/ebates_website.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-FRx2p-Rcg64/UYlvwK3mtFI/AAAAAAAALXs/3L3Mt-Uc4Rs/s640/ebates_website.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Mientras estábamos haciendo la Guía del día de las Madres de las 3 Amigas tuve la oportunidad de aprender acerca de Ebates, no conocía esta página y me está gustando, así que les voy a enseñar un poquito como funciona...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=n8PIPPQikN9Sexm%2F3xEq4Q%3D%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Ebates &lt;/a&gt;es una página de internet donde puedes comprar en muchas tiendas por internet y ganarte dinero (Cash Back), aquí les enseño paso a paso:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Primero se van a la &lt;a href="http://www.ebates.com/rf.do?referrerid=n8PIPPQikN9Sexm%2F3xEq4Q%3D%3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;página de Ebate&lt;/a&gt;s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Luego desde ahí le dan click a cualquiera de las tiendas que quieran ir como Amazon, Kohls, etc, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Ahora compran en la tienda lo que quieran.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Y reciben un porcentaje (%) e dinero de lo que compraron en su cuenta de Ebates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Eso es todo! Entonces por ejemplo, si quieren comprar el vestidito de rayas de J. Crew que puse aquí arriba, normalmente cuesta $88 pero si se van a través de Ebates recibirán 6% del total, osea $5.28 en su cuenta de Ebates. Y si luego compran otra cosa que les de mas o menos ese mismo dinero de regreso ya se pudieran comprar el collar fucsia que sólo cuesta $9.50 de gratis!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Siempre tienen ofertas y por ejemplo ahorita por el día de la madre muchas tiendas ofrecen doble cash back, si van a cualquiera de estas tiendas de las que puse los producto arriba tienen doble: J. Crew 6%, Amazon 3%, Kohls 6%, JC Penney 8%, Sephora 8% y Ebags 12%.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Y a los miembros nuevos les regalan una tarjeta de regalo de $10 con la primera compra de $25 o más. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Yo me acabo de hacer miembro ayer, a ver como me va!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;En la &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/151649411679916/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;fiesta Twitter de la guía&lt;/a&gt; estaremos regalando $100 de Ebates! Acuérdense, es mañana Miércoles 8 a las 5pm PST. Nos vemos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;During &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/04/hispanicize-2013-recap-1.html" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt; I got to attend a private luncheon organized by Latina Mom Bloggers and P&amp;amp;G. The profesional stylist and image-maker Irma Martinez partnered with P&amp;amp;G's campaign: Have you Tried This Yet? And she was there to give us all some fashion tips for this season... &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;
Here are some of her tips:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Don't need to spend lots of money on your clothing, make sure you always follow the best fits for your type of body and develop a style according to that (See tips below)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For girls with &lt;b&gt;rectangular shape bodies&lt;/b&gt; the &lt;a href="http://www.target.com/p/mossimo-womens-ponte-peplum-sleeveless-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-14261520#prodSlot=medium_1_7&amp;amp;term=penplum+dress" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;peplum style&lt;/a&gt; is great (the ones that have ruffles attached to the waist line)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Crossed tops if you have an &lt;b&gt;hour-glassed body&lt;/b&gt; (big bust) and if you add pencil line skirt it will look even better&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use pants to the waist if you have a&lt;b&gt; circular body&lt;/b&gt; and top it with a wide flowy blouse&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For girls with &lt;b&gt;pear shaped bodies&lt;/b&gt; she recommends smaller tops and high waist pants&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Esmerald is the color of the year!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Black and White, tuxedo jackets and pleated skirts are IN!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Bright color skinny pants or floral skinny pants are not just for models, they are very trendy and you just need to find a good top for them&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fm_qeo897DY/UX-Nj7zP40I/AAAAAAAALSc/ym2G7SOuayE/s1600/favorite_trends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fm_qeo897DY/UX-Nj7zP40I/AAAAAAAALSc/ym2G7SOuayE/s640/favorite_trends.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6; text-align: left;"&gt;She also shared some tips with the P&amp;amp;G products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="text-align: left;"&gt;Have You Tried this?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt; program from P&amp;amp;G provides us with bright ideas to improve their everyday, I loved how she gave us ideas to use them in different ways. The one tip that I really loved is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Use a little cup with &amp;nbsp;Downy Shimmer Unstopables in your clothing drawer and by your shoes and it will make them smell so so good!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Swiffer® WetJet® and the Extra Power Pad with the scrubbing power of Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser &lt;/b&gt;-- Loving it! I remember how Irma mentioned she it's so easy to use and helps her keep the office clean. Well over here it helps me keep the home/office clean too! Every time there is a spill I pull it out and the kids fight over it cause they want to clean, LOL! Wish they could really do it well ;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Downy Shimmer Unstopables&lt;/b&gt;, even Derek told me the other day how good the clothes smell.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And the&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Gillette® Venus &amp;amp; Olay™ Razor&lt;/b&gt;! Because it's super soft :)&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;En&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/04/hispanicize-2013-recap-1.html" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;tuve la oportunidad de ir a un almuerzo privado organizado por Latina Mom Bloggers y Procter and Gamble (P&amp;amp;G). La estilista profesional Irma Martinez está asociada con la P&amp;amp;G y su campaña ¿Ya Probaste Esto?. Ella estaba ahí para darnos muchas ideas y tips de moda para la temporada...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3 style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Aquí están algunos de sus tips:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;No hay necesidad de gastar tanto dinero en ropa, siempre asegúrate de saber que le va mejor a tu tipo de cuerpo y desarrolla on estilo de acuerdo a eso (Vean los tips en los siguientes puntos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Para chicas de cuerpo con forma rectangular (sin muchas curvas), el estilo&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.target.com/p/mossimo-womens-ponte-peplum-sleeveless-dress-assorted-colors/-/A-14261520#prodSlot=medium_1_7&amp;amp;term=penplum+dress" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;péndulo&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;es muy bueno (es el que tiene faralaos justo en la cintura)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Para las chicas de cuerpo estilo reloj de arena (con bastante busto) les queda bien usar las blusas cruzadas en frente y si las combinan con falda tipo lápiz aún mejor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Usa pantalones a la cintura si tienes un cuerpo circular (con barriguita) y ponte una blusa holgada encima&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Para las que tienen el cuerpo estilo pera (bastantes caderas) ella recomienda blusas cortas y pantalones de talle alto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;El color esmeralda es el color del año&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;El blanco y negro, las chaquetas estilo esmoquin y las faldas plisadas están muy de moda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Los pantalones pegaditos ya sea de colores vibrantes o de estampados florales no son sólo par modelos, con tal de que consigas una blusa que le combine bien, todo el mundo se lo puede poner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

También compartió unos tips para usar los productos P&amp;amp;G&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;El programa ¿Ya Probaste Esto? nos ayuda a todos en la casa y en el cuidado personal, a mi me encantó que Irma compartió varios tips de como ella los usa de diferente manera, la que me gustó más fué:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Agarra un potecito lleno de Downy Shimmer Unstopables y colócalo en su gaveta de ropa o en el closet junto a los zapatos y sejará todo oliendo muy rico!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Today I am very excited to be part of a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.latinas4latinolit.org/p/the-l4ll-dia-blog-hop-schedule-april.html" target="_blank"&gt;Blog Hop with the Latinas for Latino Literature&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;celebrating “El Día de los Niños / El Día de los Libros” (Children’s Day / Book Day) with many latino authors and illustrators. 20 days of celebration, from April 10th to April 30th, 20 authors or illustrators in 20 blogs!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
One of the very firsts books I got for Adri was the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://johnparraart.com/Store.Gracias.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gracias - Thanks&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;book&lt;/a&gt; by Pat Mora and illustrated by John Parra and we love it so much, sometimes we read it and then play "I spy" with it because the illustrations are so rich and full of fun nice details. I am very honored to have the award-winning&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;illustrator John Parra&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;here in my casita for all of you... &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Grab a cup of coffee or tea and learn about the meaning of "Día" and more about John Parra:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
April's Día Celebration&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
April is a wonderful month filled with special meaning and celebration. In fact the origins of the name April is very meaningful as it is derived from Latin, from the verb meaning “to open.” Its expanded explanation in the Roman calendar associates it as a celebratory time of year when "fruits and flowers and animals and seas and lands do open." What a wonderful and fitting description to now include as we celebrate with our youth, the opening up and reading of books for “El Día de los Niños / El Día de los Libros” (Children’s Day / Book Day). This event, Día, is a time when we honor kids and bring them to read and celebrate literature, together as ALL children, from all cultures, backgrounds, and languages. By opening up their world through this amazing celebration we participate and encourage them to expand their mind’s imagination through a rich and diverse cultural history.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kSD63SSuN4Q/UXjNUOAUGfI/AAAAAAAALOM/MX5MmiyWy_U/s1600/Round_as_a_Tortilla_Book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kSD63SSuN4Q/UXjNUOAUGfI/AAAAAAAALOM/MX5MmiyWy_U/s640/Round_as_a_Tortilla_Book.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;All Art work in this post is Copyright © John Parra&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently I had the privilege to illustrate artwork for two children’s books that share in the spirit of “Día”. The first book is entitled, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;When Thunder Comes&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, written by J Patrick Lewis. The book profiles seventeen civil rights luminaries from around the world, each represented in portraits, showcasing their struggle and commitment to justice, peace, and tolerance. One portrait from the book is that of activist, Sylvia Mendez, whose dedication to learning and education helped challenge society to become the first Hispanic in the United States to be integrated into a segregated, all white, school system. Her courage and results soon opened up the possibilities for other people of color to the opportunity for a better, respectful, and more diverse education for all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other recently illustrated children’s book of mine is, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Round is a Tortilla&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, written by Rosanna Thong. The book focuses on learning and identifying a world of shapes all around us, as shown in a celebration of Hispanic and Latino culture and identity. Though each of these books takes a different look at subjects, they both share a love of reading, learning, and culture supported through our “El Día de los Niños / El Día de los Libros” events.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In celebration of Día de Los Libros, three original children’s book paintings of mine are going on display in Richmond, Virginia, at Broad Rock Branch Library, seen with fellow children's-book art from illustrators Joe Cepeda and Lila Weaver along with author Meg Medina on hand to dedicate and discuss the exhibition. The art will be on view from April 26 to May 31 of this year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a children’s book illustrator, I am always amazed how reading and learning can transform people’s lives, give them hope and meaning, and open them and those around them to actual change. It is this power of literacy and diversity that we celebrate and honor in Día. May you enjoy and celebrate yours!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hoy estoy muy emocionada de ser parte del Blog Hop organizado por &lt;a href="http://www.latinas4latinolit.org/p/the-l4ll-dia-blog-hop-schedule-april.html" target="_blank"&gt;Latinas for Latino Literature &lt;/a&gt;para celebrar El Día de los Niños / El Día de los Libros con muchos autores e ilustradores latinos. Son 20 días de celebración, del 10 de abril al 30 de abril, 20 autores o ilustradores en 20 blogs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Uno de los primeros libros que Adri tuvo fué el libro llamado &lt;a href="http://johnparraart.com/Store.Gracias.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Gracias-Thanks&lt;/a&gt; de Pat mora ilustrado por John Parra y nos encanta, muchas veces después de leerlo jugamos "Veo Veo" con el porque las ilustraciones son tan chéveres y llenas de muchos detalles. Yo me siento super honrada de tener a este ilustrador al cual admiro muchísimo John Parra aquí en mi casita virtual!&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Así que agarren su cafecito o su té y aprendan el significado del "Día" y aprendan más acerca de John Parra:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Celebración del "Día" en Abril&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Abril es un mes maravilloso lleno de un un significado especial y de celebraciones. De hecho el orígen de la palabra abril es muy significativo porque se deriva del verbo “abrir” en Latin. Su definición ampliada en el calendario romano se asocia con la época de celebración del año en que “las frutas, las flores, animales, mares y tierra de hecho se abren.” Que maravilla de descripción y que perfecta le queda para ahora también celebrar la juventud, el abrir libros y leerlos para “El Día de los Niños / El Día de los Libros” . Este evento es un día en el que homenageamos a los niños y los traemos a celebrar la literatura todos juntos como niños, de todas las culturas y de todos los idiomas. Al abrirles el mundo a través de esta celebración tan maravillosa estamos fomentando y estimulando a que la imaginación de sus mentes se expandan a través de una historia cultural muy rica y diversa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Recientemente tuve el privilegio de ilustrar para 2 libros infantiles que comparten este espíritu de celebración del “Día”. El primero se titula, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;When Thunder Comes &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;(Cuando llega el Trueno), escrito por J Patrick Lewis. El libro exhibe a diecisiete celebridades del derecho civil alrededor del mundo, cada una de ellas tiene un retrato, donde se muestra su lucha y su compromiso con la justicia, la paz y la tolerancia. Uno de los retratos del libro es de la activista Sylvia Mendez, la cual, por su dedicación y su educación ayudó a retar a la sociedad y se convirtió en la primera hispana en los Estados Unidos que integraron en un sistema escolar todo de raza blanca. Su valor y los resultados que logró rapidamente abrieron otras posibilidades de oportunidades para una educación mejor, más diversa y con más respeto para otras personas de color y para todos en general.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;El otro libro que acabo de ilustrar es, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Round is a Tortilla&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (Redonda es una Tortilla), escrito por Rosanna Thong. El libro se enfoca en aprender todas las formas alrededor de nosotros, mostradas en celebraciones de la cultura e identidad hispana y latina. Aunque cada uno de estos libros tiene temas diferentes, los dos comparten el amor a la lectura, el aprendizaje y la cultura apoyados en los eventos del “El Día de los Niños / El Día de los Libros.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Para la celebración del Día de Los Libros, 3 ilustraciones de libros originales mías serán exhibidas en Richmond, Virginia, en la biblioteca de Broad Rock Branch, estará junto a otros trabajos de compañeros ilustradores Joe Cepeda y Lila Weaver y también la autora Meg Medina estará disponible para hablar acerca de la exhibición. El arte estará allí desde el 26 de abril hasta el 31 de mayo de este año.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Como ilustrador de libros infantiles siempre me impresiona ver como el leer y el aprender pueden transformar la vida de las personas, les puede dar esperanza y sentido y hasta abrirlas a un verdadero cambio. Este poder de conocimiento y diversidad es el que celebramos y al que rendimos honores en el Día de los Niños. Espero disfruten y celebren con los suyos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vzx4P3gcZ4s/UXd-somg5-I/AAAAAAAALLk/Pp0l1ln65Yw/s1600/hispanicize_2013_recap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Vzx4P3gcZ4s/UXd-somg5-I/AAAAAAAALLk/Pp0l1ln65Yw/s640/hispanicize_2013_recap.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/04/hispanicize-here-i-come-loweshispz13.html" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt; is over and I still can't believe it. I now have tons of photos, tons of business cards and tons of great memories to keep!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I was leaving to catch the plane I was on the phone with a friend and he said: &lt;i&gt;Oh you're going to a conference in Miami now? Those conferences are never in a place like Minnesota?? They are always somewhere fun... Have a great vacation!&lt;/i&gt; And it's true, nothing against&amp;nbsp;Minnesota&amp;nbsp;but Miami is quite some destination (Not only to vacation -&lt;i&gt;Ahem&lt;/i&gt;- I did work!). And I think it's the perfect place for Hispanicize.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Everything there breathes latino&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;everywhere you go there is latin food, and latin music&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in the background -- which if you ask my sister at any moment in time she will be able to tell you the name of the artist, the album and the name of the song playing, all this while she is having a deep conversation with you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wrc_RJZ3-_U/UXd-rUZOTeI/AAAAAAAALLw/KiuySrqE1lI/s1600/Eden_roc_miami.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wrc_RJZ3-_U/UXd-rUZOTeI/AAAAAAAALLw/KiuySrqE1lI/s1600/Eden_roc_miami.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So now you get the setting right? (Oh add some good&amp;nbsp;humidity&amp;nbsp;too!) Now add lots and lots of people from all over! The first night we got to go to dinner with the people from &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/04/hispanicize-here-i-come-loweshispz13.html" target="_blank"&gt;Lowe's who sponsored us&lt;/a&gt;, and the next day we were able to check out the booth which was amazing considering the space. I saw a before and after and couldn't believe it. Too bad I didn't take pictures of before! But it did make me think more about our little patio, it needs so much love and even though it't little I know it can get nice and cozy with the right decoration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.lowes.com/creative-ideas/woodworking-and-crafts/mobile-patio-planter/project" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;The planters&lt;/a&gt; that you see in the photos below are an idea featured on the &lt;a href="http://www.lowes.com/creative-ideas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Lowe's&amp;nbsp;Creative Ideas magazine&lt;/a&gt;, I really like them but they seem a little hard to make for me and my&amp;nbsp;abilities.&amp;nbsp;Although now that I keep looking at these photos and I see my poor I-need-some-love patio, I'm thinking my abilities might improve and I might make these planters! What do you think? Should I???&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The booth was really a little oasis to get some rest and relaxation. The furniture was pretty cool too, maybe I should just replicate all that for my patio!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Hispanicize there was also Art being made everyday, I loved seeing a different artist painting outdoors (donating their time and art for charity), I then realized I didn't take pictures of all of them :( You see, at the conferences it's quite hard to be in the moment + share on social media + take all the photos you're going to want for the posts. Can't do it all, but believe me, the art was amazing, just by these photos below you can tell right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Going there with &lt;a href="http://www.daridesignstudio.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;my sister&lt;/a&gt; was such a great experience, I felt I could introduce her to so many friends that I tell her about but she never met before plus now that she is blogging too, I can share a lot more with her and she is even considering opening a new blog, it would be health/fitness related which is something she is very passionate about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There were tons of parties, I mean every night there was something going on, not only one thing but several cause Hispanicize also involves the music and film industry, so there were movie previews and big shows like Jessie and Joy! I was sad I couldn't make it to that show for example but we went to visit my family that night and had a great time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this post are some photos of many friends and this is very little, maybe next time I will make a video with slide shows of just people photos, I think that would be cool!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll come back next week with more &lt;a href="http://www.hispanicizeevent.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt;, the&amp;nbsp;yacht&amp;nbsp;party, beautiful designs everywhere and products I saw!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Disclosure: Lowe's sponsored me with all expenses of my trip to the conference. All opinions, ideas and stories are 100% my own.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hispanicize se acabó y todavía no lo creo. Me quedaron un montón de fotos, de tarjetas de presentación y grandes memorias que guardar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;En el camino al aeropuerto estaba hablando con un amigo por el teléfono y me decía: Ah, vas a Miami a una conferencia? Oye pero esas conferencias nunca son en Minnesota por ejemplo?? Siempre son en lugares divertidos... Que tengas buenas vacaciones! Y es verdad, nada en contra de Minnesota, pero es que Miami es un destino muy chévere (No sólo para vacaciones -Ajem- Yo si trabajé!). Y me parece que es el lugar perfecto para Hispanicize.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Casi todo lo que se respira allá es latino, a donde quiera que vayas hay comida latina y música latina de fondo; por cierto que si andas con mi hermana y en cualquier momento le preguntas que canción están tocando, ella te puede decir el nombre, el cantante, el albúm, etc! Y todo esto mientras que está teniendo una conversación muy profunda contigo! Jaja!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Entonces ahora sienten el feeling no? (Ah y añadan un poco de humedad!) Y ahora agreguen mucha gente de todos lados! La primera noche fuimos a cenar con la gente de &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/04/hispanicize-here-i-come-loweshispz13.html" target="_blank"&gt;Lowe's nuestro sponsor,&lt;/a&gt; y el día siguiente pudimos ver el stand que tenían preparado el cual me sorprendió, para el espacio que había hicieron un diseño super lindo, yo que lo vi antes y después les digo, que estuvo maravilloso, que lástima que no le tomé fotos al "antes". El diseño me hizo pensar en mi propio patio porque es un espacio mas o menos del mismo tamaño y está que necesita de todos, se que una buena decoración lo haría ver bello.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lowes.com/creative-ideas/porch-deck-and-patio/a-pair-of-planters/article" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Las jardineras&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;que ven en las fotos aquí en el post son una de las ideas que está en &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/LowesIdeasCreativas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;la revista Ideas Creativas de Lowe's&lt;/a&gt;, la verdad es que me encantan pero me parecieron muy dificiles para hacerlas yo. Aunque ahora que me la he pasado viendo y viendo estas fotos y veo mi pobre patiecito que necesita cariño estoy cambiando de opinión, creo que si las quiero hacer! Que dicen? Las hago??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RQTC7dlPPgA/UXd-wF3C9MI/AAAAAAAALMY/YQ4FgpCbIKo/s1600/ideas_creativas_magazines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RQTC7dlPPgA/UXd-wF3C9MI/AAAAAAAALMY/YQ4FgpCbIKo/s640/ideas_creativas_magazines.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;El stand si parecía un oasis para ir a relajarse y descansar. Los muebles también estaban muy chéveres, debería de decorar mi patio tal cual!!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;En Hispanicize también había arte todos los días, me encantó ver todos los días a un artista diferente pintando al aire libre (donando su tiempo y arte a caridad), y me di cuenta que no les tomé fotos a todos :( Ya ven, es que en las conferencias es un poco dificil vivir el momento, compartir en las redes sociales y además tomar mil quinientas fotos para después, no, que dificil, no se puede hacer todo! Pero créanme, con estas fotos que les traje aquí (ver arriba) se deleitarán y se dan una buena idea.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;


&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Fué una experiencia muy chévere ir con &lt;a href="http://www.daridesignstudio.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;mi hermana&lt;/a&gt;, es la segunda conferencia que vamos juntas pero esta vez fué mucho más gente y pude presentarle a tantos amigos y amigas de las que siempre les cuento y además ahora compartimos aún más ya que ella está blogueando también y quiere abrir un blog nuevo de salud y ejercicios lo cual es algo que a ella le fascina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hubo muchas fiestas, todas las noches había algo y no solamente &amp;nbsp;una cosa sino varias a la ve porque como Hispanicize también involucra la música y el cine latino habían previews de películas y shows de gent como Jessie y Joy. Yo no pude ir a ese concierto pero nos fuimos a ver a mi familia esa noche y la pasamos muy rico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/p/the-3-amigas-guides-is-on-going-project.html" target="_blank"&gt;3 Amigas&lt;/a&gt; together! &lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/p/the-3-amigas-guides-is-on-going-project.html" target="_blank"&gt;Las 3 amigas &lt;/a&gt;juntas!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;En todo el post pueden ver una cuantas foticos de gente y de amigas y son tan poquitas las que tengo, creo que la conferencia que viene hago un slide show con muchas fotos solo de gente! Que les parece?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;La semana que viene vuelvo y les enseño más de&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.hispanicizeevent.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt;, que todavía me quedan muchas fotos, de otras fiestas, de la fiesta del yate, de muchos diseños bellos que vi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-flJBEGNxPqo/UWyI6162SsI/AAAAAAAALKY/rG-zfmhe04s/s1600/Mission_Bay_Park.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-flJBEGNxPqo/UWyI6162SsI/AAAAAAAALKY/rG-zfmhe04s/s640/Mission_Bay_Park.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;E N G L I S H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It seems that my Instagram is always full with these categories: Kids, People, Places, Crafts, Design and Food. But I think they all can be under one big category: &lt;b&gt;Moments,&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;which covers&amp;nbsp;everything, because Instagram is all about capturing every moment right? I picked some of my favorite &lt;b&gt;Instagram moments&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;since January which was my last&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/instagram" target="_blank"&gt; Instagram Amor post&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;E S P A Ñ O L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Al parecer mi Instagram está siempre lleno de imágenes bajo las siguientes categorías: Niños, Gente, Lugares, Manualidades, Diseño y Comida. Pero todo está bajo una gran categoría: &lt;b&gt;Momentos&lt;/b&gt;, la cual cubre todo porque Instagram se trata de capturar cada momento no? Hoy escogí mis &lt;b&gt;momentos favoritos de mi Instagram&lt;/b&gt; desde Enero que fué la última vez que compartí mi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/instagram" target="_blank"&gt;post de Instagram Amor&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Here is the moment when kitty Ally is being cute as usual... And the moment when Adrian was excited to board de trolley here in San Diego.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Moments of going out to eat and teaching Adrian to do some chores...&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Los momentos en que comemos en un restaurant&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;los 4 juntos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;son especiales y los momentos en que estamos enseñando a Adri a ayudar en la casa también...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Moments of many yummy foods are special and when my sister visited recently... She loves to have Cooper on her lap!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Los momentos de muchas comidas ricas son especiales y cuando mi hermana vino de visita... Como le encanta que Cooper venga a sentarse con ella!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Para &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/02/maya-is-3-years-old.html" target="_blank"&gt;el cumple de Maya&lt;/a&gt; visitamos el Birch Aquarium.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Every time we visit a park here in San Diego I am reminded that we live in such a nice place and I appreciate the city even more &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/05/things-ill-miss-and-things-i-wont-miss.html" target="_blank"&gt;after our move&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Cada vez que visitamos un parque nuevo aquí en San Diego me quedo loca porque es preciosísimo y me hace recordar que de verdad vivimos en un sitio muy especial y que que bueno que &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/05/things-ill-miss-and-things-i-wont-miss.html" target="_blank"&gt;nos mudamos aquí.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cL2r-9LhqSM/UWyI7P03GlI/AAAAAAAALKg/DlBuA6N4giQ/s1600/Nin%25CC%2583o_volando_un_papagayo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cL2r-9LhqSM/UWyI7P03GlI/AAAAAAAALKg/DlBuA6N4giQ/s1600/Nin%25CC%2583o_volando_un_papagayo.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
And how to forget when &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/03/receta-de-salsa-rosada-pink-sauce-recipe.html" target="_blank"&gt;my dad came to visit&lt;/a&gt;?? He loved it and wants to come back, we had lots of great family time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Y cómo olvidarme de los momentos en que &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2013/03/receta-de-salsa-rosada-pink-sauce-recipe.html" target="_blank"&gt;mi papá vino de visita&lt;/a&gt;? Le encantó y quiere regresar pronto, tuvimos muchos momentos chéveres en familia.
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2YDnpAoV-xA/UWyI2lENOGI/AAAAAAAALJ4/q9BHsR29Myo/s1600/El_compan%25CC%2583ero_perfecto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2YDnpAoV-xA/UWyI2lENOGI/AAAAAAAALJ4/q9BHsR29Myo/s1600/El_compan%25CC%2583ero_perfecto.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;My 2 little ones coloring late at night, they stay up to color! Who knew??! And a reminder of my little perfect companion right now: Adrian, I love to take him with me on errands, he chats with me, asks me questions and keeps me up to date on his thoughts, pretty fun I tell you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;You can follow&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://instagram.com/darielacruz/"&gt;my Instagram here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Mis 2 cositos trasnochándose por colorear, quien diría que eso los mantendría despiertos??!! Y un recuerdo de los momentos con mi compañero perfecto: Adri, me encanta llevarlo conmigo cuando hago diligencias, me conversa, me hace preguntas y me mantiene al tanto de mucho de lo que piensa lo cual les cuento que es bastante entretenido!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pueden seguirme en &lt;a href="http://instagram.com/darielacruz/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Instagram por aquí&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3eR1ZGbhmJk/UWFFq50c8-I/AAAAAAAALHk/xhN2ul5zpNo/s1600/Dulce_de_leche_trifle_recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3eR1ZGbhmJk/UWFFq50c8-I/AAAAAAAALHk/xhN2ul5zpNo/s1600/Dulce_de_leche_trifle_recipe.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have a little&amp;nbsp;obsession&amp;nbsp;with all jars, I really like them and I love the fact that now a days I see all types of desserts made in jars. It just makes the food look so personalized and so much for inviting to have one of those dessert jars for yourself!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I decided to make my own dessert on a jar: Dulce de Leche Triffle. In fact I made 2 desserts in a jar and I already have plans to make another one. The second one I made was for &lt;a href="http://spoonful.com/recipes/3-layer-jello-surprise-jar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Spoonful&lt;/a&gt;, I'll share more photos of that one here soon too but for now take a look at&amp;nbsp;deliciousness, super yumminess Dulce de Leche Trifle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And guess what? It's very easy to make!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bKM-l8C2oxM/UWE2rOoxqRI/AAAAAAAALHA/jujbrhdbs7I/s1600/Dulce_de_leche_trifle_in_jars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bKM-l8C2oxM/UWE2rOoxqRI/AAAAAAAALHA/jujbrhdbs7I/s1600/Dulce_de_leche_trifle_in_jars.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;
Dulce de Leche Trifle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;10 small meringues broken into pieces (with your hands)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 tub of of whipped cream (about 2 cups)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;About 2 cups or more of fresh strawberries&amp;nbsp;chopped very small&amp;nbsp;and blueberries (you can replace with any fresh fruit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;1 cup of dulce de leche (I like to buy the one that comes that's easy to squeeze out)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Pretty Jars&amp;nbsp;(4 jars to be more specific)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Start with a layer of meringues, then the fruit, the add the dulce de leche (squeeze in a good amount!) and finally the whipped cream, make sure you get at least 2 times of all of the layers so the jar looks well rounded with lots of layers. The mix of crisp and soft textures of this dessert is the best! Oh and the dulce de leche flavor combined with everything else there... Sigh!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
While making these desserts I also realized and confirmed how I really love to &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/DESSERT" target="_blank"&gt;cook sweets&lt;/a&gt;, I like to cook a little bit of everything but I am&amp;nbsp;definitely&amp;nbsp;more inclined to cook desserts and to make them look pretty because what I enjoy the most of all is styling the photo, shooting it and well, editing it of course, so it's the whole package all together, I LOVE this! I hope you enjoy the photos and the dessert as much as I did!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Tengo una pequeña obsesión con frascos, me encantan y me encanta que ahora está de moda hacer postres en frascos, los he visto mucho. La presentación de un postre en un frasco lo hace más personal y especial que sea uno solito de esos para tí!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Así que decidí hacer mi propio postre en un frasco : Trifle de Dulce de Leche. De hecho hice 2 postres en frascos, el otro lo hice para &lt;a href="http://spoonful.com/recipes/3-layer-jello-surprise-jar" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Spoonful&lt;/a&gt;, ya les traeré más fotos de ese pronto, pero por ahora disfruten de este deliciosísimo Trifle de Dulce de Leche.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Y saben qué? Es super fácil de hacer también!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7AA925r7HMk/UWE53r-bFDI/AAAAAAAALHU/vZ07dYAir58/s1600/Trifle_de_dulce_de_leche.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7AA925r7HMk/UWE53r-bFDI/AAAAAAAALHU/vZ07dYAir58/s1600/Trifle_de_dulce_de_leche.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #b45f06;"&gt;Trifle de Dulce de Leche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;ul style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;10 suspiros pequeños rotos en pedacitos (con las manos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;1 pote de crema batida (como 2 tazas aprox)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Aproximadamente 2 tazas de fresas picadas en pedacitos pequeños y arándanos (se puede reemplazar con cualquier otra fruta fresca)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;1 taza de dulce de leche (a mi me gusta la que viene en botellita lista para exprimir)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Frascos bonitos&amp;nbsp;(4 frascos para ser más exactos)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Empieza poniendo una capa de suspiros, luego la fruta, luego el dulce de leche (no escatimes y exprime un buen!) y finalmente la crema batida, asegúrate de repetir cada capa al menos 2 veces en el frasco para que se vea más bonito el frasco. La mezcla de texturas suaves con texturas crujientes es lo mejor! Ah y el sabor del dulce de leche combinado con todo esto... Ummmm!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Después de hacer estos postres me di cuenta de cuanto me gusta cocinar dulces, a mi me gusta cocinar un poquito de todo pero definitivamente que me inclino más por &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/DESSERT" target="_blank"&gt;los dulces&lt;/a&gt; y me gusta acomodarlos&amp;nbsp;bonitos&amp;nbsp;porque lo que más más me gusta es diseñar la foto, tomar la foto y bueno, editarla por supuesto, todo el paquete junto, ME ENCANTA! Espero que disfruten las fotos y el postre tanto como yo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"&gt;Leaving last year for Hispanicize! - &lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Saliendo hacia Hispanicize el año pasado!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I've been kind of quite this week here and this is the reason! I've been preparing to go next week to Miami for &lt;a href="http://www.hispanicizeevent.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt; thanks to &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/LowesIdeasCreativas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Lowe's&lt;/a&gt;. In fact my sister is also coming to represent &lt;a href="http://www.daridesignstudio.com/blog/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Dari Design Studio&lt;/a&gt;, so we are trying to squeeze in lots of work this week since we're not going to be working full time, we leave next Monday and I'm so excited! It's been a while since I don't&amp;nbsp;travel&amp;nbsp;to a blog conference and also since I don't see many of my blogging friends!

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;He estado un poquito callada esta semana aquí en el blog y esta es la razón. La semana que viene estaré de viaje en Miami para la conferencia &lt;a href="http://www.hispanicizeevent.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt; gracias a &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/LowesIdeasCreativas" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Lowe's&lt;/a&gt;. De hecho mi hermana también irá representando a &lt;a href="http://www.daridesignstudio.com/blog/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Dari Design Studio&lt;/a&gt; así que estamos tratando de meter todo lo que podamos de trabajo esta semana ya que la siguiente no tendremos casi tiempo., nos vamos el mismo lunes, estoy muy emocionada! Ya ha pasado mucho tiempo que no voy a una conferencia de bloggers y que no veo a muchas de mis amigas blogueras. El año pasado hice &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2012/04/hispanicize-2012-photo-recap.html" target="_blank"&gt;un post de fotos de Hispanicize&lt;/a&gt; para que lo vean si no lo han visto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

This door is in Old Town, San Diego. I wonder how many years has it been there, maybe it was moved from one place to another? It's kind of awkward, I can't&amp;nbsp;figure&amp;nbsp;it out!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Cuantos años?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Esta puerta está ubicada en Old Town, San Diego. Me pregunto cuantos años tiene allí? Será que la movieron de lugar? No entiendo los diferentes marcos!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It's amazing how kids are drawn into the outdoors. I got to hang out with them by myself this last Friday and Saturday. On friday they both had the day off so I hung out with them, I took them to an Easter egg hunt party at a park and it was very fun,&amp;nbsp;immediately&amp;nbsp;after we arrived they felt like fish in the water; they played in the sand, grabbed a ball and ran all over the place. I love to see them like that and it feels so new again because Spring just arrived, having warmer weather feels great, we get to enjoy the outdoors even more!&lt;br /&gt;
- -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Es impresionante como los niños se sienten tan atraidos a los espacios abiertos, al aire libre. Este viernes pasado y ayer sábado me tocó estar con ellos. El viernes no tuvieron clases así que me los llevé a una fiesta de Pascua con búsqueda de huevitos en un parque que estuvo muy divertida, inmediatamente al llegar los niños estaban como peces en el agua, se fueron a jugar con la arena, jugaron con pelotas y corrieron por todos lados. A mi me encanta verlos así, me trae tanta felicidad y es que se siente como si fuera la primera vez porque la primavera ya llegó y el tener un clima más calientico se siente cheverísimo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Yesterday I got to hang out with them again cause Derek was out making beer (did I tell you he brews beer?) and so we went to a park (&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/10/i-love-picnics-local-whole-foods.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mission Bay&lt;/a&gt;, our favorite!) and flew a kite. Adrian had been asking to take him fly the kite day of the week so finally we had the time and made it. And again there they were having so much fun being outdoors, running, playing, it's amazing. Those moments are the best, watching them having fun with these simple things. I know that we will be doing a lot of outdoor activities these coming months, we are ready to take it all in!&lt;br /&gt;
- - -&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Ayer sábado también me la pasé todo el día yo sola con ellos porque Derek estuvo haciendo cerveza (Ya les había comentado que el hace cerveza?) y entonces nos fuimos al parque (A &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/10/i-love-picnics-local-whole-foods.html" target="_blank"&gt;Mission Bay&lt;/a&gt; que es nuestro favorito) y volamos un papagayo. Adri me había estado pidiendo que fuéramos a volar el papagayo desde que empezó la semana así que por fin fuimos. Y apenas llegamos ahí estaban los dos divirtiéndose como nunca en la grama, corriendo, jugando... Un maravilla. Esos son los mejore momentos, momentos en los que disfrutan con las cosas tan sencillas. Yo se que nos esperan muchos más días así con actividades al aire libre durante los meses que vienen, estamos listos para disfrutar esta primavera!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Here they are listening to a story in the Easter party, what I love about this is that it was Adrian's idea to go hear the story and he took Maya by her hand and told her to come with him to listen to the story!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #76a5af;"&gt;Aquí están los dos escuchando un cuento en la fiesta de Pascua, lo que me encanta de esto es que fué idea de Adrian ir a escuchar el cuento, agarró a Maya de la mano y le dijo: &lt;i&gt;Vénte Maya, vamos a escuchar el cuento,&lt;/i&gt; y fueron y se sentaron solitos ahí!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
I wanted to make the eggs different this year so I looked and looked and I tried out the marbleized egg dyeing technique, the results are quite pretty! It is not that hard but I would love to have tens of dozens of eggs to&amp;nbsp;practice&amp;nbsp;with and perfection the technique. I learned from my app I got last year from &lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/egg-dyeing-101-from-martha/id426486391?mt=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Martha Stewart&lt;/a&gt;, it was totally worth it! Remember? We did our &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2012/04/our-easter-eggs-are-ready.html" target="_blank"&gt;Easter eggs&lt;/a&gt; with rubber bands last year.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Marbleized Easter Eggs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
Here is the step-by-step:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dye your eggs with food coloring first and let them dry.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mix 2 to 3 cups of warm water, 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 15 to 20 drops of food coloring in a shallow bowl (let the liquids be at least &amp;nbsp;3/4 of an inch high). Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and mix with a fork to create the swirls.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place the egg in the oil mixture and roll it around (not too much!) until you see the marble effect on it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Take it out, blot it with a paper towel and let it dry.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;TIPS:&lt;/b&gt; I think the oil works best if it's olive oil cause it's thick, I didn't have olive oil and made them with vegetable oil which I think was harder, so keep that in mind! Also, combining darker colors on top of light one creates a better effect.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
Maya and Adrian had fun of course dyeing there eggs, my sister was here visiting so she participated too. She and I were the ones marbleizing the eggs and Adrian did a couple of the marble effects as well. Dyeing eggs is always so much fun, we didn't grow up with this tradition, we only did it once and I&amp;nbsp;remember&amp;nbsp;it been super fun but in Venezuela people don't really do this. We even have pictures from that one time, maybe one day I'll bring them here! &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have a Happy Easter!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Este año quería hacer los huevitos diferentes así que busqué y busqué y decidí intentar esta técnica de marmolizado, me gusta como quedaron! No es muy dificil y no se requiere de muchos ingredientes pero si de práctica, me gustaría tener miles de docenas de huevos para practicar! Yo aprendí con la aplicación de&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/egg-dyeing-101-from-martha/id426486391?mt=8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Martha&amp;nbsp;Stewart&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;que compré el año pasado, vale la pena! Se acuerdan? Que&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2012/04/our-easter-eggs-are-ready.html" target="_blank"&gt;pintamos los huevitos con ligas&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #93c47d;"&gt;Huevos de Pascua Marmolados&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Aquí está el paso a paso:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ol style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Tiñe los huevitos con colorante de comida y déjalos secar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Mezcla 2 a 3 tazas de agua, 1 cucharada de vinagre y 15-20 goticas de colorante de comida en un plato no tan ondo (que el líquido sea como de unos 2 cms de alto en total). Añade una cucharada de aceite de oliva y mezcla con un tenedor creando los espirales de aceite en el agua.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Mete el huevito en la mezcla de aceite y ruédalo un poquito por todos los lados (no mucho!) hasta que le veas el efecto marmolado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Sácalo inmediatamente y dale toquesitos leves con un papel toallín y déjalo secar por completo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;TIPS:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Yo creo que funciona mejor con el aceite de oliva poque es un aceite grueso, yo no tenía aceite de oliva y tuve que usar aceite vegetal que es mas delgadito y creo que las ondas no me salieron tan fuertes por eso. También, si combinan colores oscuros fuertes con colores claritos les quedará mejor el contraste porque a veces si son de los mismos tonos el color de abajo con el de arriba, no se nota casi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Maya y Adrian se divirtieron metiendo huevitos en los baños de colores normales. Mi hermana, que estaba de visita cuando lo hicimos, también participó y ella y yo nos encargamos más que todo del baño marmolado aunque Adri hizo unos 2 baños marmolados y le gustó también. Pintar huevitos es siempre divertido, nosotros no crecimos con esta costumbre, sólo lo hicimos una vez que me acuerdo que fué super divertido y ahsta tenemos unas fotos, algún día las traigo! &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Que pasen Feliz Pascua!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Since my sis was here she took pictures of me which is rare because I'm always the one taking them, it's cool to see me behind the scenes!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;- - -&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"&gt;&lt;i style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Como mi hermana estaba aquí, ella me tomó fotos a mi durante nuestra actividad y me pareció chévere ya que yo nunca aparezco mucho en las fotos, es chévere verme detrás de la cámara de vez en cuando!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I am huge fan of board games, although it's been a long time since we don't play board games at home... At least adult ones! But now that Adrian is so big and he can follow directions of many more board games, it's really fun to&amp;nbsp;involve&amp;nbsp;him. &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;We tried out 2 new games that &lt;a href="http://www.wonderforge.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Wonderforge&lt;/a&gt; has for Spring:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #8e7cc3;"&gt;Ninja Turtles Clash Alley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #8e7cc3;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VHk9jizo8GM/UVH9Uulo49I/AAAAAAAAKzY/uEoYmyCPDf4/s1600/Clash_alley_Ninja_Turtles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VHk9jizo8GM/UVH9Uulo49I/AAAAAAAAKzY/uEoYmyCPDf4/s400/Clash_alley_Ninja_Turtles.jpg" width="215" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
I was impressed at how Adrian learned how to play so quickly, he has amazed me on his reading skills so he can now read the instructions by himself and follow them, as you know he is a fan of &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2010/12/4-year-old-boy-and-some-tears.html" target="_blank"&gt;Ninja Turtles&lt;/a&gt; so this game was fascinating to him and to Derek! They kept playing for a while, they were very into it, they said it was fun because it has 3D elements and that you have to run, climb and jump through the board as well as defeat the bad guys. I guess it's different from any other board game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I loved to watch how Adrian concentrated playing by&amp;nbsp;himself&amp;nbsp;for a long time, and he was adding cards, it looked like his math skills were put to test!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He even played with Maya sometimes, check out the video below were he is "showing" her how to play!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

She is starting to grasp the idea, I played with her a couple of times and then since she loves the character cards she started matching them in her own way and of course organizing like we all&amp;nbsp;know&amp;nbsp;she loves!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
These games could be a great addition to kid's Easter baskets!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;A mi me fascinan los juegos de mesa, aunque tengo años que no juego mucho aquí en la casa. Pero por lo visto eso va a cambiar porque ahora que Adri está más grande y puede seguir instrucciones y jugar juegos de mesa mejor entonces es chévere involuclarlo más.&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;Probamos estos 2 juegos nuevos para la primavera de&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.wonderforge.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Woderforge&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #8e7cc3;"&gt;Ninja Turtles Clash Alley&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VHk9jizo8GM/UVH9Uulo49I/AAAAAAAAKzc/bBBWThrZ_NY/s1600/Clash_alley_Ninja_Turtles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VHk9jizo8GM/UVH9Uulo49I/AAAAAAAAKzc/bBBWThrZ_NY/s320/Clash_alley_Ninja_Turtles.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Me impresionó cómo Adrian aprendió cuper rápido a jugar este juego, su lectura está ya tan buena que puede leer el solito las instrucciones y seguir el juego, además como es fanático de las tortugas Ninja estaba fascinado con el juego y porsupuesto Derek también. Jugaron los dos por un buen tiempo y varios días. Dijeron que el juego es muy chévere porque tiene elementos en 3D, que tienen que correr, escalar y brincar alrededor del tablero y tratar de agarrar a los malos. Al parecer es bastante diferente a otros juegos de mesa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Por mi lado, me encantó ver a Adrian como se concentraba jugando el solito por mucho tiempo con el juego y además sumando sus puntos en las tarjetas, se ve que lo pone a praticar las matemáticas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hasta le quiso enseñar a Mayita, vean el video (arriba) un poquito de cuando estaban jugando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Este juego es como un juego de memoria pero los personajes de Disney aparecen todos listos para la Pascua, es perfectop para niños en edad preescolar como Mayita. Ella está aprendiendo más o menos la idea del juego, todavía hay que enseñarle bastante pero ahí va, yo jugé con ella unas cuantas veces y estaba fascinada con las princesas, la Minnie y todo. Luego ella lo agarró y jugó solita buscando las parejas y ordenando las tarjeticas como siempre que es lo que le gusta!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Estos juegos están chéveres para las cestas de Pascua que acostumbran a dar a los niños!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I've been busy preparing fun things for Easter.&amp;nbsp;It's looking like this week I will be posting a lot of Easter for you!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PtfoJhH7tCg/UVC4ppp1RtI/AAAAAAAAKyI/TRVhQ3oUzIs/s1600/Mantelitos_de_pascua.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Easter table set with egg placemats made out of washi tape" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PtfoJhH7tCg/UVC4ppp1RtI/AAAAAAAAKyI/TRVhQ3oUzIs/s1600/Mantelitos_de_pascua.jpg" title="Mantelitos de Pascua" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f6b26b;"&gt;Personalized Easter Egg Placemats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Today I want to share these &lt;a href="http://mom.me/latina-mom/6444-personalized-diy-easter-egg-placemats/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Easter Placemats&lt;/a&gt; I&amp;nbsp;created&amp;nbsp;with Washi tape for Latinamom.me and of course for the kids! They loved them! I made a step-by-step instructions, you can go to &lt;a href="http://mom.me/latina-mom/6444-personalized-diy-easter-egg-placemats/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;LatinaMom.me&lt;/a&gt; to check it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f6b26b;"&gt;Filling Easter Eggs&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #f6b26b;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Activity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After I set the table for the photos they sat down and enjoyed filling the plastic eggs themselves. We've never done it so they fill the eggs so I thought what a great activity this is...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just set up little containers with jelly beans,&amp;nbsp;marshmallows,&amp;nbsp; chocolates and whatever else you want to add and let them fill the eggs. They spent at least half an hour opening, filling and closing, interchanging the eggs they wanted to use and all that. Of course these wont be the same eggs we'll use for the main Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday but meanwhile they have fun playing with them around the house!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;He estado bien&amp;nbsp;ocupada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-align: left;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;haciendo muchas cositas para la Pascua, al parecer esta semana les tengo un montón de posts con el mismo tema!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hoy les quiero compartir estos &lt;a href="http://ne%20forma%20de%20huevito/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;individuales&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://ne%20forma%20de%20huevito/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;en forma de huevito&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;que hice con teipe tipo washi, los hice para Latinamom.me y porsupuesto pensando en los niños que les encantaron! Para ver las instrucciones paso a paso pueden ir allá a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://mom.me/latina-mom/6444-personalized-diy-easter-egg-placemats/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;LatinaMom.me&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #e69138;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Actividad de rellenar los Huevitos de Pascua&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Después de que puse la mesa así para las fotos dejé que los niños jugaran y empezaron a rellenar los huevitos de plástico ellos mismos. Nunca lo han hecho ellos y entonces pensé que chévere esta actividad...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: start;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Sólo pon platicos con diferentes dulces como jelly beans, malvaviscos, chocolates o cualquier otro que se les antoje y deja que los niños rellenen sus huevitos como quieran. Ellos se la pasaron como mas de media&amp;nbsp;hora&amp;nbsp;entretenidos, abriendo y cerrando sus huevitos, intercambiando de colores y demás.&amp;nbsp;Porsupuesto&amp;nbsp;estos no son los mismos que usaremos para la búsqueda de huevitos el domingo de Pascua pero de aquí allá se divierten con estos jugando en la casa ellos mismos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It's rare these days when Derek and me take a little date night, we are so busy and doing so much that it's hard, but as soon as we find some opportunity we jump right in!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So my sister was visiting this past weekend and she babysat the kids while we went to the theater to see a comedy show, and we had such a great time, it was an improv show they have at &lt;a href="http://www.nationalcomedy.com/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;The National Comedy Theater here in San Diego&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time I went to that area of town where the theater is located, it's called Mission Hills and it has several restaurants and cafés in the same street, I need to go back and take pictures for a &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/cool%20places" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cool Places in San Diego&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;post! I was even&amp;nbsp;yelling&amp;nbsp;at Derek why he didn't take me there before, cause he said he used to go when he was younger a lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyways, if you haven't see an improv show before, you're missing out! It's hard to explain but what they do at National Comedy Theater is that they divide 6&amp;nbsp;actors&amp;nbsp;into 2&amp;nbsp;teams&amp;nbsp;(3 each) and play games against each other, -acting games-. There is a&amp;nbsp;referee&amp;nbsp;and the audience participates giving them ideas of scenarios, words to start with and so on. One of my favorite games were Sing it, where they start acting and all of sudden the other team calls Sign it and they have to keep acting with a song, it's amazing what they do, and really funny! These 2 guys kept signing about yoga and doing yoga poses together, it was&amp;nbsp;hilarious.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another game I liked was "I can do better", 2 actors start improvising and the others can come in a replace one of them yelling: &lt;i&gt;I can do better!&lt;/i&gt; How? (they ask him)&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;By acting better as a girl&lt;/i&gt; for example, and they come in and actually make it better!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We will for sure go back for more dates cause it's affordable and it will always be a different show since it's improvised, plus there are great restaurants to explore too!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Disclosure: I received the a set of tickets to the show for review purposes only, check out there &lt;a href="http://www.nationalcomedy.com/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/nctsandiego" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/NationalComedyTheatre" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; for more info.

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Derek y yo tenemos ultimamente no salimos tan a menudo, hemos estado bien ocupados con trabajo pero cuando se nos da una oportunidad, la aprovechamos! Mi hermana vino este fin de semana que pasó de visita y cuidó a los niños una noche mientras que nosotros fuimos al teatro a ver una comedia, la pasamos tan chévere, nos reímos mucho, fuimos a ver el show de improvisación del grupo que se llama&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.nationalcomedy.com/index.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;National Comedy Theater aquí en San Diego&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Es la primera vez que voy a esa urbanización aquí en San Diego y me encantó! Se llama Mission Hills y hay muchos restaurancitos, bares y cafés en la misma calle, tengo que regresar otro día y tomar fotos para hacerles un post de&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/cool%20places" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lugares chéveres de San Diego&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Hasta estaba regañando a Derek de porqué no me había llevado antes porque me dijo que el iba a ahí muy a menudo hace años con sus amigos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;En fín, si nunca han visto un show de improvisación, no saben de lo que se pierden, es dificil de explicar pero lo que hacen en este National Comedy Theater (Teatro de Comedia Nacional) es que dividen a 6 actores en 2 grupos de 3 y juegan juegos entre ellos, juegos de actuación. Hay hasta un referí y el público participa dándoles ideas de lugares donde&amp;nbsp;supuestamente&amp;nbsp;están o cualquier otra idea para empezar una actuación. Uno de mis preferidos fué uno que se llama "Cántalo" (Sing it), donde los actores están actuando normalmente y el otro equipo les dice&amp;nbsp;de repente&amp;nbsp;que canten en ese momento, es muy cómico, y hacen cosas increíbles. Habían dos actores que cantaron acerca de Yoga haciendo poses al mismo tiempo, fué demasiado bueno!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Otro juego que me encantó se llamaba "Yo lo puedo hacer mejor", mientras que dos actores estaban improvisando los demás podían interrumpir cuando quisieran y decir "Yo lo puedo hacer mejor!" Cómo? (le preguntan)&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Actuando mejor de una mujer&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;(por ejemplo) y se intercambian de lugar y de hecho les sale mucho mejor y muy cómico!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;De seguro volveremos porque cada vez que hacen el show es distinto ya que es improvisado y super accesible, además hay bastante restaurancitos que explorar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

I made these these mango and berry swirly smoothies for Spoonful, they are super super easy and cool looking, a good alternative to serving regular boxed juice or sodas at kids parties! Oh and I'm having so much fun with the party trays I made, they work with almost anything! Go to Spoonful to see the recipe for &lt;a href="http://spoonful.com/recipes/mango-and-berry-swirl-smoothies" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;the smoothies&lt;/a&gt; and to see the &lt;a href="http://spoonful.com/crafts/diy-party-trays" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;DIY Party Trays&lt;/a&gt;! Happy Thursday!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hice estos batidos (o Smoothies) de mango y frutas rojas (fresas, frambuesas, moras, etc), son super fáciles y se ven bellos, una buena alternativa para una fiesta en vez de refrescos o jugos de caja, que les parece? Ah y estoy usando mucho las bandejas de fiesta que&amp;nbsp;hice&amp;nbsp; Pueden ir ver la receta de los &lt;a href="http://spoonful.com/recipes/mango-and-berry-swirl-smoothies" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;smoothies&lt;/a&gt; ne Spoonful y &lt;a href="http://spoonful.com/crafts/diy-party-trays" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;las bandejas&lt;/a&gt; también!
