&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Una de las cosas que hice el mes pasado fué ir a &lt;a href="http://www.altitudesummit.com/"&gt;Alt Summit&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ib-rOdAlbk/TzGKNh7UUVI/AAAAAAAADA0/BhA9DbQLzBk/s1600/Dichos1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ib-rOdAlbk/TzGKNh7UUVI/AAAAAAAADA0/BhA9DbQLzBk/s640/Dichos1.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As I told you in my last post I've been designing a lot and these dichos (sayings) project is one project I made together with &lt;a href="http://spanglishbaby.com/2012/02/your-favorite-dichos/"&gt;SpanglishBaby&lt;/a&gt;; their Facebook community sent over their favorite dichos and we made them graphics. While I was arranging words, colors and sentences I could hear my mom or my tías saying many of these phrases to me!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Do you use dichos when you speak?&lt;/b&gt; I do, a little, but not as much as my mom does.&amp;nbsp;There are variations among all the countries but it's cool how in most Latin American countries they are the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm posting here some of my favorites, they are all designed in Spanish but I researched an equivalent in English which I wrote down here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also made a &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/spanglishbaby/dichos-y-refranes/"&gt;Pinterest Board&lt;/a&gt; with all of them! There are 30 in total and if you want to add another one, let me know and Ill make it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;TOP: LEFT TO RIGHT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
-That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.&amp;nbsp;-A word is enough to the wise&lt;br /&gt;
-With friends like that, who needs enemies?&amp;nbsp;-Birds of a feather flock together&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;BOTTOM: LEFT TO RIGHT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
-You snooze, you loose.&amp;nbsp;-The early bird catches the worm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
-Every cloud has a silver lining.&amp;nbsp;-Little by little you go far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yyBbAKZUrEs/TzGPcbsfPGI/AAAAAAAADA8/mOU_gSA0Jgs/s1600/Dichos2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yyBbAKZUrEs/TzGPcbsfPGI/AAAAAAAADA8/mOU_gSA0Jgs/s640/Dichos2.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Como ya les conté en mi post de la semana pasada he estado diseñando bastante y este es uno de los proyectos que hice conjuntamente con &lt;a href="http://spanglishbaby.com/2012/02/your-favorite-dichos/"&gt;SpanglishBaby&lt;/a&gt;. Toda la comunidad de Facebook de SB mandó sus dichos favoritos y los hemos hecho gráficos. Mientras &lt;strike&gt;jugaba&lt;/strike&gt; trabajaba con la tipografía, colores y palabras me parecía escuchar a mi mamá o a mis tías diciéndome muchas de estas frases!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ustedes usan dichos cuando hablan?&lt;/b&gt; Yo solo un poquito pero no tanto como mi mamá! Hay algunas variaciones de país a país pero la mayoría se entienden entre todos los países Latinoamericanos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Aquí en el post puse algunos de mis favoritos, a ver, cuáles son sus favoritos?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;También hicimos un&lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/spanglishbaby/dichos-y-refranes/"&gt; board en Pinterest&lt;/a&gt; con todos los dichos, son 30 en total, si quieren añadir uno avísenme para hacerlo e incluirlo!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-5971719905596647560?l=www.mamitalks.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NuestraVidaConAdrian/~4/6VEbSSc9x9I" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NuestraVidaConAdrian/~3/6VEbSSc9x9I/lot-of-dichos.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0ib-rOdAlbk/TzGKNh7UUVI/AAAAAAAADA0/BhA9DbQLzBk/s72-c/Dichos1.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.mamitalks.com/2012/02/lot-of-dichos.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-2742079790734426162</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-02-01T07:00:03.421-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">indoors</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">blogging</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">wordless wednesday</category><title>Wordless Wednesday - Busy</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I'm still here!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; But I am very busy, this work/life balance thing is hard even being a designer and a blogger at the same time. These days I've been so busy tending to designs that it's hard for me to blog but I miss it so much! I can't wait to tell you all about what I've been doing and where I've been. I just need to organize my time better, I'll be back very soon!&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Todavía estoy aquí!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Pero he estado tan ocupada, esto de balancear el trabajo y la vida misma es bien dificil, y con lo de ser diseñadora y bloguera al mismo tiempo también. En estos días he estado muy ocupada con muchos diseños y arrancando nuevos proyectos que se me ha hecho dificil de venir al blog pero extraño tanto venir a compartir aquí! Ya quiero regresar y estar presente y contarles muchas cosas que he hecho y a donde he ido, sólo necesito organizar mejor mi tiempo, regreso muy pronto!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/02/wordless-wednesday-first-time.html"&gt;Last year&lt;/a&gt; Adrian had his first snowboarding lesson and this year they just went again! He loves it and "he goes for it" according to the instructor! --&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Photo taken with Derek's phone (I didn't go!) and then touched with my iPhone in Instagram&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Le encanta y dice el instructor "es bien lanzado"! &amp;nbsp;--&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La foto fué tomada con el celular de Derek (yo ni fuí!), y luego pasada por mi iPhone en el Instagram.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38412352-5605240301699960924?l=www.mamitalks.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NuestraVidaConAdrian/~4/iCSMuNlF4uI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NuestraVidaConAdrian/~3/iCSMuNlF4uI/wordless-wednesday-snowboarding.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dariela)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Rj8Zj735hQE/TxZH90aZWuI/AAAAAAAAC-4/gUvrt5UsEgQ/s72-c/AdrianSnowboard2012.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://www.mamitalks.com/2012/01/wordless-wednesday-snowboarding.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38412352.post-4049286307089415285</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jan 2012 18:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2012-01-11T10:00:02.186-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">photography</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">monthly picture</category><title>Maya is 23 months!</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6677194105/" title="Maya 23 Months by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Maya 23 Months" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7169/6677194105_edc322cc6f_o.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The pose today was&amp;nbsp;completely&amp;nbsp;accidental and in a matter of a quick second I was able to get it. Pretty cool! And today was also a good smiley day for the photo-shoot, Adrian was behind me jumping like a monkey and it made Maya laugh a lot, that helped! But as soon as he got near her she screamed and cried. also I took off her socks (this is the only picture of her in this series with socks on!) and she started crying bad so the socks went back on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The hairy thing to the right is her new Dora doll that she got from a gift exchange during the holidays, she LOVES it, and keeps saying &lt;i&gt;Dora, Dora&lt;/i&gt;. She caries her around with no clothes and with the crazy hair!&amp;nbsp;She's a fan of Dora in the TV too and Blue's Clues. We're thinking that her birthday party theme next month will be either one of those, she'll love it!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
It's so cute to be around her, she talks more and says little tiny sentences sometimes, she repeats a lot of what we say but in her cute way. It's such a contrast and a good balance with Adrian tat is not cute at the moment, but asking questions and&amp;nbsp;arguing&amp;nbsp;a lot! Of course, she does make lots of tantrums and we are having to be patients to discipline her as well.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;La pose de hoy fué completamente accidental pero pasó en un segundo y la pude capturar, que fino! También, hoy en el photo-shoot Adrian estaba detrás de mi brincando como un monito y haciéndola reir así que funcionó perfecto! Pero no se le podía acercar porque empezaba a gritar y a llorar, lo mismo con las medias que tiene puestas (la única foto con medias de la serie!), se las quité y armó un escándalo, así que se las volví a poner, ni modo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;La cosa peluda a la derecha es su muñeca Dora, cómo le encanta, se la regalaron en un intercambio de regalos en Navidad, la lleva para arriba y para abajo y se la pasa diciendo &lt;i&gt;Dora, Dora&lt;/i&gt;, quiero a Dora. Desde que llegó a esta casa le quitó la ropa y la despeinó y no hay manera de vestirla! También le gusta much verla en la tele y a Blue's Clues. Estaos pensando que para su cumpleaños el mes que viene el tema será uno de los dos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Es tan cuchi estar con ella, ya dice algunas oraciones de 3 palabras a veces y repite muchas palabras de lo que uno dice pero a su manera muy cuchi. Es tan contrastante y a la vez un buen balance con Adrian que pregunta mucho y discute bastante también (nada cuchi). Porsupuesto que ahorita también sigue haciendo muchísimas pataletas, tiene un carácter fuerte y tenemos que ser bien pacientes con la disciplina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: 9.5pt;"&gt;Ready to go celebrate! &lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Listos para ir a celebrar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Hola hola! I can't&amp;nbsp;believe&amp;nbsp;how much time passed since the last time I really blogged. And at the same time it went by so quick! The holidays were great but I was exhausted and then I got the January blues. I seem to get these blues a lot lately after family reunions, birthdays and such. So imagine how huge are the blues after the Holidays? Mayor family reunions almost everyday and celebrations?? But I'm much better now and keeping so busy. I have so many things to share and so many many photos of course.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll start with our New Year's celebration. We got together with 2 more families that we just met about a month ago here in San Diego. I went out dancing with new friends through a MeetUp group I joined and since that day 2 of the girls and me decided to get together for New Year's&amp;nbsp;cause&amp;nbsp;neither of us had a plan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love how it all came about, we enjoyed our time and had a great New Year's Eve, even my mom came and celebrated with us + both kids stayed up until midnight! Of course, after maybe 30 minutes they fell sleep on Derek's arms :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bK1LEkzPOAQ/Twv2oolf2oI/AAAAAAAAC7Y/6AvkjZ40FvU/s1600/NewYears4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bK1LEkzPOAQ/Twv2oolf2oI/AAAAAAAAC7Y/6AvkjZ40FvU/s640/NewYears4.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The technology part of this post is about Santa brought me; one of the gifts I wanted, an iPhone! I couldn't even believe it! I was very impressed and surprised! I have never had one, I did have a smartphone, a Droid. I really like the Droid... really, all Google Apps in there are The Best! And it will take me a little bit to transition into the iPhone {the iPhone isn't as great with Google, boo :( }, but the iPhone, Oh the iPhone and it's photographic capabilities are AMAZING.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I soon discovered that I didn't get just a cell phone, I got a camera! A camera that has infinite editing and fun capabilities for me to play with and let my creativity flow in many new ways. I quickly signed up for Instagram and downloaded many photography Apps already. I didn't know I can even make collages in there, add text, drawings, different effects AND share it with the world!&amp;nbsp;If you have an instagram account, you can find me as &lt;i&gt;darielacruz&lt;/i&gt;. I would love to follow you back!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All the pictures I took during New Year's Eve were with the phone cause I am still very into it and learning everyday, but &amp;nbsp;don't worry, I don't think I'll change my DSLR camera for this, it's just another extra camera that I will add for now!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hola, hola!! No puedo creer que haya pasado tanto tiempo desde la última ve que hice un post grande y al mismo tiempo pareciera que el tiempo pasó rapidísimo. Las Navidades fueron muy chéveres pero quedé cansada y después de que se acabó todo me dió un bajón post-navideño, parece que le llaman "January Blues", lo cierto es que ultimamente me da eso después de las fiestas de cumpleaños y de reuniones familiares; después de que se acaban los extraño a todos. Pero ya me siento mejor y tengo muchísimas cosas pendientes y cosas por hacer, y porsupuesto más cosas que compartir.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Empezemos con el 31. Nos reunimos con otras 2 familias aquí en San Diego. Apenas conocí hace un mes a dos muchachas de un grupo MeetUp donde estoy metida y nos juntamos en esa ocación para ir a bailar, desde ese mismo día resulta que decidimos celebrar el 31 juntas con nuestras familias porque ninguna de las 3 tenía planes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Fué cheverísimo, la pasamos muy rico, mi mamá vino a celebrar con nosotros también. Los dos niños aguantaron hasta para dar el feliz año! Claro, que después de unos 30 minutos cayeron en los brazos de Derek!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&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: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jRwXj5IfTxc/Twv2jwVfdRI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/od3OzU5wDws/s1600/NewYears3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jRwXj5IfTxc/Twv2jwVfdRI/AAAAAAAAC7Q/od3OzU5wDws/s640/NewYears3.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;La parte tecnológica de este post es que les cuento que el Niño Jesús me trajo algo que quería mucho: un iPhone, la verdad fué una sorpresota, no lo podía creer y me quedé muy impresionada! Yo no he tenido todavía uno, tenía un Droid que me gusta mucho, la verdad las apps de Google allí son increibles y me tomará un tiempecito acostumbrarme {y es que el iPhone no es tan chévere con Google :( }, PERO el iPhone, ay el iPhone y sus capacidades de fotografía son INCREIBLES.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Me di cuenta rapidito que no recibí sólo un celular sino &lt;b&gt;una cámara&lt;/b&gt;! Una cámara con millones de posibilidades para jugar y poder dejar fluir mi creatividad de nuevas maneras. Me metí rapidamente en Instagram y bajé unas cuantas apps de fotografía. Yo no sabía que hasta se pueden hacer collages, añadir texto a las fotos, ilustraciones, miles de efectos y además compatirlo instantáneamente con todo el mundo! Si tienes una cuenta en instagram, me puedes encontrar con mi username: &lt;i&gt;darielacruz&lt;/i&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Todas las fotos que tomé el 31 fueron con el teléfono porque estoy un poco enfiebrada todavía y aprendiendo cositas pero no se preocupen que no lo cambiaré por mi cámara grande, sólo será otra cámara que puedo usar!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

We've been enjoying the holiday season like no other so I've been a little missing here at the blog. I'll be in and out this week too but see you in January when I'll have so many stories of the many things we've been up to! Hope you are having  a wonderful Holiday Season, I leave you with our family pictures we took on Christmas day. I appreciate each and everyone of you who keeps stopping by&amp;nbsp;everyday&amp;nbsp;and reads what I have to say, thank you!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Sending you mucho Love and happiness for 2012!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hemos estado disfrutando muchísimo la temporada Navideña y por eso he estado un poco aislada del blog. Esta semana todavía estaré fuera pero volveré con todos los cuentos de lo qu hemos hecho en Enero. Espero que estén disfrutando mucho de esta temporada de fiestas, aquí les dejo nuestra foto de familia que tomamos el mismo 25. Estoy agradecida de poder tener este espacio y de ustedes, los que pasan or aquí a leer lo que tengo que decir. Mil gracias!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3d85c6;"&gt;Les deseo mucha prosperidad, amor y felicidad para el 2012!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6552643609/" title="¿Quien Llama? by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="¿Quien Llama?" height="443" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7018/6552643609_2f26301d95.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&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;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;I got a local number in Venezuela&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; which anybody over there can call me and I get the call here in my cell phone at a cost of&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;a local call for me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; too. I know what you're thinking... what? Say that again? Well, it's a phone number which you can dial as if you were calling me in Caracas (If you are in Caracas) with no area codes for the US, just imagine I'm there ;)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
So the first thing I did was I gave it to my Dad (Hola papi!) and he called me, he just said hi and we talked about how everyone was doing and about his next visit that we think it can be soon, and that was all. But then something happened... &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;He called again another day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; in less than a week and again the next day and now he calls every day! It's like if he was right here, we don't talk about how is everyone anymore but about plans and more in-depth conversations cause we're in no rush to finish the call quickly.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
In fact when he doesn't call I feel I miss the call now. Papi, please keep calling every day. And tías, tíos, cousins... familia, you can call me too!&amp;nbsp;I'm really loving it, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;for Christmas and the New Year's Eve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; it will be perfect!!&amp;nbsp;Maybe one of these days Maya will answer for real, the pictures are with her play phone.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
If you are interested,&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mycricket.com/localnumber"&gt;Cricket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;offers this service or small monthly fee, it is SO worth it!!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Me dieron &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;un número local en Venezuela&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; al cual cualquier persona me puede llamar desde allá y me cae la llamada aquí en en mi celular como si fuera &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;una llamada local para mi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; también. Ya se lo que están pensando, que QUÉ? Lo puedes repetir por favor? Ok, bueno, es como si fuera mi número en Caracas, imagínate que estoy allá y me marcas sin códigos de los EEUU ni nada, y lo contesto en mi celular y ya :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Así que &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;lo primero que hize fué dárselo a mi papá&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; (Hola Papi!), y me llamó, para ver como estábamos y cómo va todo, hablar de su próxima visita que parece será muy pronto, etc, etc. Pero después algo más pasó... Me llamó otro día, y otro día y otro día más. Ahora me llama casi todos los días y ahora no hablamos de cómo estamos si no de todo un poco, del día a día, de planes y conversaciones un poco más profundas porque no tenemos apuro en terminar la llamada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;De hecho si no me llama un día me hace falta. Papi: sígueme llamando todos los días porfavor! Y tías, tíos, primos y familia, llámenme cuando quieran!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;Para Navidad y el Año Nuevo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; va a estar perfecto, me encanta!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;A lo mejor uno de estos días que llamen Maya les atiende como en las fotos, y no desde su teléfono de jugar ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Si estás interesado en obtener un número, &lt;a href="http://www.mycricket.com/localnumber"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cricket&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; lo ofrece por una cuota mensual accesible, vale mucho la pena!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I can't believe the year is almost over! I am still running around making crafts, shopping for presents and working working working. But I am so excited for the Holidays! And also a bit Nostalgic, so I&amp;nbsp;looked up one picture of each Christmas since we had kids. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;I love timelines!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It seems that the bigger the kids get, the bigger the excitement is for everyone around too. I am loving this. Shopping for Santa and El Niño Jesus's gifts is even more fun!!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;No puedo creer que ya se va a acabar el año! Todavía yo ando corriendo de arriba a abajo comprando regalitos, haciendo más manualidades y trabajando mucho. Pero estoy muy emocionada con la Navidad y el año nuevo, también con un poquito de nostalgia, por eso busqué las fotos de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;nuestras navidades desde que tenemos hijos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;. Me encanta ver el paso del tiempom en las fotos así!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Al parecer mientras más crecen los niños más emocionante se pone esto para todos. A mi me encanta. Y comprar los regalos de Santa y el niño Jesus es muy chévere ahorita!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

En un México convulsionado y herido por la violencia, qué tanta falta hacen los valores: deberían ser mandamientos en el seno de la familia: “Gracias”, “perdón”, “te respeto”, “te quiero”; sin duda promuevan la convivencia social y son una permanente defensa al desorden exaltado por el materialismo, el dinero y el poder. Yo celebro a las mamás que han decidido reflexionar y recordarnos que hay formas de ser más humanas y amables, espero de corazón que todos las pongamos en práctica en nuestra vida. Que así sea.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;H. Tapia. Periodista y Padre.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ellas: madres, blogueras, esposas y líderes de opinión del 2.0, se unen para expresar el significado personal de un valor. Disfrutemos pues y compartamos a las demás madres de habla hispana este cálido texto, sobre todo en estas fechas donde la humanidad se une en un abrazo fraterno, pues todos somos uno.

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;“El Amor es la fuerza universal que nos une, que abarca todo y tenerlo este valor como base de nuestra familia es esencial. Los niños imitan mucho lo que hacen los padres y lo que ven alrededor, así que al demostrar amor entre nosotros ellos aprenden un montón. Durante las Navidades hay muchos más momentos para compartir; nosotros hacemos regalos hechos a mano con nuestros niños para la familia, es algo que ellos disfrutan mucho y les creará memorias llenas de amor”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Es prestar algo tuyo y dejar que el otro lo use sin importar que sea algo nuevo, usado o algo muy importante para ti. Es jugar o usar las cosas de alguien más, cuidándolas y sabiendo que después de un rato las tendrás que regresar a su dueño o regresaran a ti sí tú las prestaste. Compartir es regalar un rato de tu día para jugar con alguien; para cocinar para alguien, para disfrutar con alguien. Es dejar que alguien más: hermano, amigo, familia use algo tuyo para divertirse, cubrirse o quitarse el hambre y la sed”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

GENEROSIDAD&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Crecí con una mujer que hacia cazuelas enormes de comida por si alguien inesperado
llegaba a comer, tuvo 10 hijos y algunos llevaron a sus hijos a que nos criara, cuando
ella rezaba todas las noches me quedaba admirada de cómo se acordaba de todos en sus
oraciones. Mi abuelita me enseño que la vida es una oportunidad de dar a los demás, de abrir el corazón para ayudar a quien se acerca a nosotros. La generosidad no tiene precio, ser generoso no nos hace ni más ricos o pobres en lo material pero en lo espiritual nos
enriquece al máximo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;“Cuando era pequeña mi padre me hablaba de dos palabras mágicas que como llaves siempre nos abrirían las puertas donde fuéramos: “Gracias” y “Por Favor”; hoy en mi adultez y como madre no hay día que no las trabaje con mis hijos. Agradecer la bondad de Dios por la salud y las cosas que tenemos, por tener una escuela donde estudiar, por tener un papá que trabaja y una familia que los ama. Enseñar este valor que nutre el alma y el espíritu, ya que si un exceso es recomendable en este mundo en el exceso de gratitud (Jean de la Bruyere).”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“La verdadera honestidad empieza con uno mismo. Consiste en darle espacio y tiempo a esa vocecita que todos tenemos dentro y que constantemente nos habla. El problema es que estamos acostumbrados a no escucharla. Pero si nos sentamos con ella, en silencio, y nos abrimos a lo que tiene que decirnos, ocurren cosas mágicas. Al principio puede que no nos guste demasiado su mensaje. Puede que duela, y mucho. Pero hay que confiar: ella sabe a dónde nos lleva. Y sólo siguiéndola podremos ser totalmente honestos con los demás”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;“Según la definición es la facultad para saber esperar cuando algo se desea mucho.

La Perseverancia es un aprendizaje diario, que camina a la par de la paciencia. Una conquista, por más pequeña que sea, a base de la Perseverancia brinda confianza a niños y adultos”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
You know we've been &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/wordless-wednesday-pine-cones.html"&gt;picking lots of pine cones&lt;/a&gt; right? And we made some place sets for the Thanksgiving table that I haven't had a chance to show you yet (I hope to do it soon) But today I wanted to show you the easiest holiday craft ever!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I saw this idea on Pinterest first and&lt;b&gt; it came from this blog:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://thewoolacorn.blogspot.com/2010/10/tutorial-for-my-pinecone-christmas.html"&gt;The wool Acorn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. How cute are they? They made it with felted wool balls. But I just got a little bag of pom-pons at Michael's and Adrian and me started gluing them with white craft glue to the pine cones and that's it! We didn't use a base or anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adrian got a little impatient because the pom-pons didn't hold still while glueing them so I ended up doing most of it and then I wasn't sure how to place them but I found this tray I have, it's kind of old and this ribbon was around from a present and voilá! I think they look great and they are very festive.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Ya saben que &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/wordless-wednesday-pine-cones.html"&gt;hemos recojido muchas piñas&lt;/a&gt; por aquí y ya hicimos unos adornos para cada puesto en la mesa de Thanksgiving (todavía no me ha dado de mostrárselos espero pronto poder enseñárselos). Pero hoy les quiero mostrar una manualidad para decorar super fácil!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Esta idea no es mía, la vi en Pintereste y &lt;b&gt;vino de este blog: &lt;a href="http://thewoolacorn.blogspot.com/2010/10/tutorial-for-my-pinecone-christmas.html"&gt;The wool Acorn&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt; Están cheverísimos verdad? Allá los hicieron con bolitas de lana pero yo los hice con ponponcitos. Los compré en Michael's y entre Adrian yo los pegamos en cada piña con pega blanca normal y eso es todo! No le pusimos base ni nada, se paran solitos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Adrian se desesperó un poquito porque los pompones no se sostenían fácil en la punta antes de pegarlos pero es que hay que empujarlos un poqito con la mano hasta que se queden, total que yo pegué la mayoría. No estaba segura cómo ponerlos entonces encontré esta bandejita que tengo y una cinta que tenía por ahí de un regalo (yo las guardo) y vualá! No se ven bien bonitos en la mesa??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6509591245/" title="Ponche Crema by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img &amp;nbsp;alt="Ponche Crema" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7148/6509591245_4ffbc69f31_b.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My favorite drink around the holidays has always been &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;Ponche Crema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. This is what we call Eggnog in Venezuela and it tastes very similar but not exactly the same. I think every country has it's version of it too, they are all similar and there are many many recipes for this simple drink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Growing up during the holidays some of my aunts and my mom would make it to give as a present,&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;it was fun to try each different one&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, they all had their special taste. And if you would go to somebody's house to visit they would offer you some, either homemade or from the bottle, but there is always Ponche Crema around the holidays, otherwise it would not feel like Holiday season!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I searched for a recipe among my family to share with you here. I had several given to me but I decided to make this one first.&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt; &lt;b&gt;This is my dear aunt's recipe&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, maybe you want to join me and make it to have around at home for the guests during the holidays? We don't get many guests but I'll prepare myself, that way the guests might come!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Ponche Crema&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
12 eggs&lt;br /&gt;
3 cups of Rum (more or less depending on your taste)&lt;br /&gt;
1 cup of Brandy&lt;br /&gt;
cloves&lt;br /&gt;
3&amp;nbsp;Sweetened&amp;nbsp;Condensed Milk cans&lt;br /&gt;
3 cups of water&lt;br /&gt;
1 ts of Vanilla&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mix the egg yolks with the Condensed Milk and the water, add more water if it's too thick. Add the cloves and the vanilla. Cook at low heat&amp;nbsp;stirring&amp;nbsp;constantly with a wooden spoon. When it starts to boil turn it off. Add the rum and the brandy, &amp;nbsp;pour into bottles, let it sit until it;s at room temperature and then refrigerate.&lt;br /&gt;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;This will be enough for a big bottle like the one in the picture and maybe 2 glasses more. I love to drink it on ice with a touch of strong coffee, que rico! I also made half of it&amp;nbsp;without&amp;nbsp;alcohol so that the kids could drink it too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;My bebida preferida durante las Navidades es el &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;Ponche Crema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;. Así le llamamos nosotros en Venezuela al Eggnog o Rompope como le dicen en México. Todos saben parecido pero no son iguales. Y muchos paises tienen su versión y su nombre. Creo que hay muchísimas recetas para prepararlo también.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;En Venezuela durante las Navidades muchas de mis tías y mi mamá hacían Ponche Crema para dar de regalo, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;era chévere probar todos los diferentes de cada quien&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;, cada uno con su toque especial. También si visitábamos a alguien a uno le ofrecían de seguro entre otras cosas un Ponche Crema, fuera hecho en casa o de botella pero si no habiá Ponche Crema en Navidad no era Navidad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Así que busqué entre mi familia una receta para compartirla con ustedes aquí. Me dieron varias pero empezé por esta que fué la que hice. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;Esta receta es de mi tía muy querida.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #45818e;"&gt; A lo mejor y se animan como yo a hacerla para tener en la casa y darle a cualquier visita que se aparezca por ahí? La verdad aquí no vienen muchas visitas pero ya que lo preparé a lo mejor y se aparecen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ponche Crema&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una docene de huevos&lt;br /&gt;3/4 litro de ron&lt;br /&gt;1/4 litro de brandy&lt;br /&gt;clavitos de especie&lt;br /&gt;3 latas de leche condensada&lt;br /&gt;3 tazas de agua&lt;br /&gt;1 cucharadita de vainilla&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mezcla las yemas con la leche condensada, las tazas de agua, si esta muy&amp;nbsp;espesa agrega otra tacita de agua y cocina a fuego lento. Agrega la vainilla y los clavitos. Revuelve con una cuchara de madera en forma continua, cuando comienze a hervir apaga el fuego y retira la olla. Agrega el ron y el brandy. Viértelo en una botella o en varias. Deja enfriar a temperatura ambiente y mete en la nevera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #e06666;"&gt;Esta receta rinde para una botella como la de la foto y un poquito más (como 3 copas). A mi me encanta tomármelo con hielo y un chorrito de café bien fuerte!! También hice una parte sin licor para que los niños tomen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6500805437/" title="Maya is 22 Months by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Maya is 22 Months" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6500805437_0434c310d7_o.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
It's not easy at all to make a 22 months old to sit wherever you want, in fact it's not easy at all to make her do ANYTHING you want. So, that's why you see her picture today not happy, this time around there wasn't even 1 photo smiling. At the end I gave her the little ferris wheel and she was content but always looking down to it so her face looks redish/purple up top&amp;nbsp;because&amp;nbsp;of the lights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maya is not so wordy yet, not many new words, but she gets her point across really well by pointing, crying, babbling or anything else she can do to let you know her needs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
She is still &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/maya-is-21-months.html"&gt;Daddy's little girl&lt;/a&gt; and she is turing into Adrian's little friend too, they play together a lot and laugh about everything together, although as you saw &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/wordless%20wednesday"&gt;last week&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;sometimes things have to go the way Maya wants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Maya is showing off her strong personality these days, she is a lot of work to be around but she is also a lot of joy and cuteness. It's just a big ole package that you wouldn't want to miss in a little girl, haha! If you meet her she wont be all smiles right away, she is very serious and quiet but wait maybe 30 minutes and she will have you doing whatever she wishes with her hidden sweetness!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2010/03/maya-ya-tiene-1-mes.html"&gt;2 more months&lt;/a&gt; to go! What will I do after!!!!!!??????&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;No es nada fácil hacer que una niñita de 2 meses se siente donde TÚ quieras, de hceho no es nada fácil hacer que haga NADA de lo quieres que haga. Así que como ven la foto de hoy Maya sale brava o triste porque no quería sentarse, no salió ninguna sonriendo. Al final le di la ruedita de Navidad y se quedó más tranquila, se le ve un poquito roja o morada la cara porque se le reflejan las lucesitas del juguete.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Maya no tiene muchas palabras nuevas pero se da a entender facilmente con sus llantos, sus gritos, apuntando, diciéndo sus gugu tatas o de cualquier otra manera que pueda para ayudarle a decirte lo que necesita.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Todavía es la &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/maya-is-21-months.html"&gt;niña de papá&lt;/a&gt; pero también se está convirtiendo en la amiguita de Adri, juegan mucho juntos, se rien de todo jutnos aunque algunas veces las cosas no van tan tan bien como le mostré la &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/search/label/wordless%20wednesday"&gt;semana pasada&lt;/a&gt; :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Sabemos ya que tiene su personalidad fuerte, estar con ella es una mezcla de dulzura y firmeza a la vez. Es como un paquete que lo tiene todo, no se lo peuden perder! jaja! Si la conocen por primera vez les dará una mirada fuerte, estará bien seria y hasta brava pero puede que en 30 minutos estén haciendo todo lo que ella desea porque no podrán resistir su dulzura escondida!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2010/03/maya-ya-tiene-1-mes.html"&gt;2 meses&lt;/a&gt; más para terminar! Y después que voy a hacer???!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6475577317/" title="Ally by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Ally" height="363" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7164/6475577317_d6bb1e910d.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;We adopted Ally first.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;I didn't like cats but&amp;nbsp;I don't know why or how&amp;nbsp;all of a sudden we were on our way to adopt one (Derek and I adopted her before getting married). We went to a pet hospital where they rescue animals and have them for adoption. I love how she picked us, she kept&amp;nbsp;meowing&amp;nbsp;at us, even though we were looking at other kitties there she was doing her best to leave with us. Her original name was Kramer, because a lady found her in an alley and that was the lady's her last name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As soon as we were on our way home with our little kitty (She was 1y/o) in the car I started sneezing! I was never allergic to cats before and all of a sudden she gave me huge allergies! We were almost going to give her to a friend after a couple of weeks but we didn't have the heart, she was already our new baby. I started to take some medicines and after a couple of rough months I stopped the medicines and little by little the allergies went away! So the name Ally was because she came from an alley and because of my allergies :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We call her&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Queen Ally&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;around here, she is&amp;nbsp;definitely&amp;nbsp;the queen! Just look at some of her poses!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6475473153/" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" title="Cooper by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Cooper" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7002/6475473153_246c83d781_b.jpg" width="490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;A couple years later we adopted Cooper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; from another group that rescues kitties, he was one of many brothers and sisters. And as soon as we got there he stuck his paw through the cage and again he picked us! It was not easy to get Ally used to having a new cat around, it took a while, but they are pretty used to each other now. We call Cooper &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;King Coop&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, and he is very very loving with anybody that comes visits, he'll ask for love right away!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would adopt more but I think 2 kids and 2 cats is enough for now, although when we move to a bigger place one day who know what can happen!! I love how any little animal can be rescued and have a good life with a family, I can't believe that there are millions of little ones that get euthanized each year, so if you want to get a pet please consider adopting from a rescue shelter!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now it is so much easier with all the info available everywhere! Check out &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;The Shelter Pet Project's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; nice &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/PetProject"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;, they even have a list with photos where you can see which pets are available on your area! In their &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/SPP_YT"&gt;YouTube page&lt;/a&gt; they have cute funny videos of pets "talking" and you can also connect through&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/SPP_T"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or &lt;a href="http://on.fb.me/SPP_FB"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; with them.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Adoptamos a Ally primero&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;. A mi no me gustaban los gatos para nada y un día, nosé cómo ni porqué derepente fuimos a adoptar un gatico! (Derek y yo la adoptamos un poco antes de casarnos). Fuimos a un hospital de animales donde rescatan a animalitos y los dan en adopción. Me encantó como nos escojió Ally, nos miraba y nos mauyaba a cada rato, aunque vimos a otros ese día en el mismo lugar ella insisti, así que sin duda nos dejamos escojer. El nombre que tenía cuando la conocimos era Kramer ya que la señora que la encontró en un callejón tenía ese apellido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Tan pronto como nos montamos en el carro con la gatica (de un año) resulta ser que yo empezé a estornudar y a esturnudar! Nunca había sido alérgica a los gatos hasta ese momento, que mala suerte! Casi casi se la damos a unos amigos pero no tuvimos corazón, ya era como nuestro bebé! Yo empezé a tomar unos antialérgicos y después de un par de meses paré pero poco a poco se me quitaron las alergias. Así que por lo de las alergias y porque la encontraron en un callejón (Alley en inglés), le pusimos Ally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;De cariño le decimos &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Queen Ally&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; que quiere decir Reina Ally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Unos cuantos años &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;después adoptamos a Cooper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; de otro grupo de rescate de gatos, el era uno de muchos hermanos y hermanas, apenas tenía como 4 meses cuando lo adoptamos. Cuando llegamos a verlos estában todos en jaulas y Cooper fué el primero que sacó su patica para saludarnos, porsupuesto que casi sin pensarlo lo escojimos a él. No fué fácil que Ally se acostumbrara a Cooper, se tardó un poco pero ya están acostumbrados. A él lo llamamos &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;King Coop&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (Rey Coop) y el es super cariñoso, cada vez que alguien viene de visita el saluda inmediatamente!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Yo adoptaría más gaticos pero con 2 niños y 2 gatos creo que es suficiente por ahora, aunque cuando nos mudemos para un sitio más grande un día quien sabe que pueda pasar! Me encanta el hecho de poder ayudar a los animalitos y darles una casita. No sabía que hay millones de animales que les hacen &amp;nbsp;eutanasia cada año porque no se adoptan :( que triste. Por eso si piensan tener una nueva mascota en la familia adopten de un shelter!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Hoy en día es hasta más fácil con tanta información disponible, vean la &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/PetProject" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;página web &lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;The Shelter Pet Project&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;, hasta hay una guía super fácil donde se pueden ver las fotos de los animalitos disponibles en tu área! En su página de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/SPP_YT" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; tienen videos cómicos de mascotas "hablando" y también pueden conectarse con ellos en &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://bit.ly/SPP_T" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;o &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://on.fb.me/SPP_FB" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5fhasgqyoHE/Tt3IDcVIivI/AAAAAAAAC2Q/L0_C6lnCZWQ/s1600/Cake+in+the+shape+of+a+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5fhasgqyoHE/Tt3IDcVIivI/AAAAAAAAC2Q/L0_C6lnCZWQ/s640/Cake+in+the+shape+of+a+5.jpg" width="498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When we were planning &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/party-he-wanted.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"&gt;Adri's birthday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt; he pulled out a book that I have of different fun cakes for kids. He asked me to make one for him. There were a lot of them and I don't have any experience in baking cakes and making such complicated decorations, so I told him I would make the #5 cake and he was very happy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I then thought about the theme of the party: the movie Cars, so I decided to make a road and add a Lighting McQueen and a Mator, I got those as regular toys and just placed them on top and it everything turned out great!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It wasn't that easy though, I did have to research a lot in Google, ask around, post in twitter, find the trays I needed, the type of frosting, etc, etc. Here is a little summary of the process:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;I baked 2 cakes&lt;/b&gt;, a round one and a square that I cut into 2 rectangles to make the shape of the five.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;E S P A Ñ O L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Cuando estaba planeando &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/party-he-wanted.html"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"&gt;el cumpleaños de Adri&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;hace poco, el sacó un librito que yo tengo de cómo hacer&amp;nbsp;tortas de&amp;nbsp;diferentes figuras para niños y me pidió que le hiciera una. Habían muchas y complicadas, entonces le dije que le haría la del 5 y se contentó mucho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Después me puse a pensar en cómo le pondría a la torta el tema de la fiesta que era la película de Cars, así que decidí hacer la pista y ponerle los carritos, agarré Mator y McQueen, son juguetes de verdad y resultó todo chévere...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Bueno, después de tanto trabajo e investigación, busqué en Google, pregunté en twitter, pregunté a gente conocida, busqué las bandejas correctas, el tipo de glaseado, etc, etc. Aquí les dejo un resumen de lo que hize:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Horneé 2 tortas&lt;/b&gt;, una redonda y una cuadrada que la partí en 2 rectangulos para poder hacer el 5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vrFJ3xh3KuE/Tt28aWFviTI/AAAAAAAAC2I/45a4g0A58s8/s1600/Cake+without+frosting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vrFJ3xh3KuE/Tt28aWFviTI/AAAAAAAAC2I/45a4g0A58s8/s1600/Cake+without+frosting.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I got too much frosting, &amp;nbsp;(I realized later after I finished, sooo much left over!) but I was nervous about the red because all the info I found said that it is the hardest color to obtain because as soon as you mix the ink with white it turns out pink. But I did found a Wilton forum that recommended to get the &lt;b&gt;Re-Red and Red (No Taste) Icing colors&lt;/b&gt;, and that really worked well!!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;For the black &lt;b&gt;I used chocolate frosting&lt;/b&gt; and added black color so it became black pretty easy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;E S P A Ñ O L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Usé el glaseado pre-hecho, me di cuenta que compré mucho (después de terminar porque me sobró un montón!) pero lo que parecía más dificil era lograr el color rojo porque en todos lo que leí y lo que me dijeron era que se convierte en rosado cuando uno le echa el colorante rojo pero encontré unos foros de la marca Wilton que decían que usara &lt;b&gt;el colorante Red-Red y el Red (No Taste)&lt;/b&gt; así que esos usé y quedó perfecto!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Para el glaseado negro usé el de chocolate&lt;/b&gt; y luego le eché el color negro e inmediatamente se puso todo negro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OtQsr0lH2nY/Tt25EKdRGPI/AAAAAAAAC1w/KBcS85MjoxY/s1600/Cake+making+process.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OtQsr0lH2nY/Tt25EKdRGPI/AAAAAAAAC1w/KBcS85MjoxY/s640/Cake+making+process.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&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;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I added a white line in between both colors and the dotted line thru the middle to make the road. I was very unsure on where to place the candles but &lt;b&gt;my mom was there to help me &lt;/b&gt;&lt;strike&gt;with Maya, calm me down when I thought it wasn't going to work out and &lt;/strike&gt;bounce ideas (thanks mami!) and we found that place to be the perfect spot. It wasn't easy to find red candles btw, they mostly come in pastel colors, but I found a package of bright bold colors that had them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You'll notice that the final cake was a little broken in the middle (see photo below). It was starting to melt! So, I should have left it in the fridge during the party but I wanted to show it off!! It was so hard to take the pictures os the step-by-step meanwhile making and decorating a cake for the first time but I loved it and &lt;b&gt;the boy was&amp;nbsp;absolutely&amp;nbsp;happy&lt;/b&gt; on his day despite anything else! ;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;E S P A Ñ O L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Le añadí una linea blanca entre cada color y la líneas que dividen los carriles de la pista. Estaba un pooco indecisa en donde poner las velitas pero &lt;b&gt;mi mamá estaba aquí conmigo ayudándome&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strike style="color: #45818e;"&gt;con Mayita, calmándome cuando me volvía loca pensando que no me iba a quedar bien &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;a tomar decisiones (gracias mamita!) y decidimos que el lugar perfecto era el que ven en la foto abajo. Por cierto, no me fué fácil encontrar velas rojas, las venden en colores pasteles casi siempre pero estas las encontré en un paquete que tenía varios colores fuertes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Notarán que la torta final está un poquito rota en la mitad (vean la foto aquí abajo). Se estaba empezando a derretir! La he debido de dejar en la nevera durante la fiesta pero es que quería dejarla afuera para que adornara la fiesta y la gente la viera!! Me costó bastante tomar fotos de todo el proceso mientras que la estaba haciendo y al final también porque la luz no era nada buena pero &lt;b&gt;Adri quedó fascinado con su torta y muy muy feliz en su día!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hC7ZvNtwQ4o/TtnUfYryQ4I/AAAAAAAAC0Y/0LMJqomuKac/s1600/FerissWheel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hC7ZvNtwQ4o/TtnUfYryQ4I/AAAAAAAAC0Y/0LMJqomuKac/s640/FerissWheel.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&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;
I am working with Home Depot to show you some holiday decorations. They offer a lot of range of decor now energy-saving lights, ornaments, yard and tree decor, even the Martha Stewart Living line, I am impressed!&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;
So I went to the store with the idea on getting decorations that the kids would like. You see, I always want to get simple, modern, stylish, out-of-the-box decorations for Christmas but I realize that the kids love the traditional Santa, the read and green, snowy and musical decorations. They really rejoice when they can push a button and something moves or makes christmas sounds! So I tried to compromise and not be so picky and get more for them this time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;First thing I saw was the little &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ferris wheel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that moves and has holiday music and I&amp;nbsp;immediately&amp;nbsp;took it, of course it is their favorite now.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I have to say I was surprised to find&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt; Martha Stewart line of decorations&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; which I always admire. I wanted to get some more ornaments for our tree but our tree has a color theme which is teal, fuchsia, lime green and silver and they didn't have those colors available, oh well, many other things to choose from...!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I found some&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;window gel clings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;which was another fun decoration for the kids to do plus the designs are really nice :)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1aXLNfhGQj8/TtnVNYwVNaI/AAAAAAAAC04/KaN6FCJ54Uc/s1600/StoreRacks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: -1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1aXLNfhGQj8/TtnVNYwVNaI/AAAAAAAAC04/KaN6FCJ54Uc/s640/StoreRacks.jpg" width="510" /&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;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We need a regular &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;doormat&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; but since they had lots of Christmas ones I decided to get one. I took a look at them and chose 3 as the finalists, but there was one that kept calling me and that one won by far! (see photos below).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When we living in LA we were sharing holiday decorations with my mom and sister so we actually need to get some new things like the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;star for the tree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. I got this one that has an LED light in it and changes colors! Adrian put it on!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I'm amazed at how many new and different cool &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;LED lights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; there are out there now, pretty nice plus they use now 80% less energy.&amp;nbsp;We have enough LED lights at the moment so I just got &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;extension cords&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;little hooks to hang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; them out in the patio. We haven't done that yet so I might show you on Facebook later. Oh! And I wanted to mention that I've never payed attention to their name: "LED lights" before, to me sounds like a technical name and I didn't associate them with the holidays cause in spanish we call them "lucesitas" which means little lights! LOL! Imagine calling them &lt;i&gt;little lights &lt;/i&gt;in english?!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ud1RI-4dLKk/TtnUi863rUI/AAAAAAAAC0g/AefCeURkMME/s1600/HolidayClings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ud1RI-4dLKk/TtnUi863rUI/AAAAAAAAC0g/AefCeURkMME/s640/HolidayClings.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Last but not least, we needed a&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt; tree skirt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and there are lots of them with cutesy Santas and all that but I felt the balance on my side this time and went with the simple quilted white one, but when I brought it home it was too big! I went right back and changed it for a cutesy Santa one! Ate my own words, oh well, it looks cute :)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1" style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Estoy trabajando con Home Depot para enseñarles lo que tienen en decoraciones navideñas. Tienen muchas cosas ahora, lucesitas ahorradoras de energía, adornitos para el arbolito, adornos grandes para los jardines y hasta una línea de decoración de Martha Stewart Living, la verdad quedé impresionada.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p2"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Fuí a la tienda con la idea de comprar adornos que a los niños les gustarían. Lo que pasa es que a mi me gustan con estilo más moderno, simple, con estilo pero se que a los niños les gustan los adornos con musiquita, que se mueven, etc, etc, de verdad disfrutan mucho, así que dije, voy a darles la alegría de que tengan más cositas así en la casa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Lo primero que vi fué &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;una rueda que gira&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; bien bonita con música y todo y porsupuesto la escojí y los niñitos fascinados.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Sigo impresionada de que tengan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;la línea de Martha Stewar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;t allí la cual sigue mi idea de adornos con estilo ;) y quería comprar más adornitos para el arbolito pero los colores que uso son fucsia, aguamarina, verde perico y plateado; de estos no tenían nada, así que escojí otras cosas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Encontré unos "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Gel Clings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;" para las ventanas, son como calcomanías pero que se quitan y se ponen. Los niños las pusieron y les encantó además los diseños que ofrecen son lindos.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-15iem4URte8/Ttrg-L95A1I/AAAAAAAAC1I/MPQCIYKBwAo/s1600/EntryMats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-15iem4URte8/Ttrg-L95A1I/AAAAAAAAC1I/MPQCIYKBwAo/s640/EntryMats.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&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;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Necesitamos una &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;alfombrita para la entrada&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;normal pero como habían tantas de Navidad decidí escojer una, hay muchos diseños pero los redondeé a 3 y había una que me gritaba: yo, yo! Y esa ganó! (las fotos están arriba)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Cuando vivíamos en Los Angeles estábamos compartiendo adornos todos entre mi mamá, mi hermana y nosotros así que hay muchas cosas que necesito comprar como por ejemplo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;la estrella del arbolito&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;. Escojí una que tiene luz y cambia de colores. Adri la puso! (Ver arriba)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Me asombra la tecnología de las lucesitas de ahora, son bien lindas y además usan 80% menos energía, que tal?? Nosotros tenemos las suficientes ahorita pero si compré extensiones y ganchitos para guindarlas en la pared del patio. No las hemos guindado, cuando las ponga se las enseño en Facebook! Ah, y me di cuenta apenas que en inglés les dicen "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;LED lights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;", lo cual me parece a mi un término bien técnico y nunca lo asociaría con "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"&gt;ucesitas de Navidad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;", jajaja!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Por último pero no menos importante, necesitábamos una base para el arbol pero no quería agarrar una con tantos muñecos o Santas, escojí la blanca con detalles bordados pero resulta que cuando la puse en la casa era muy grande! Así que regresé y la cambié sin problemas por una con un Santa! Me tuve que tragar las palabras, pero bueno, se ve bonita :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dariela/6440290331/" title="Winter milk by darielacruz, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img alt="Winter milk" height="349" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6440290331_723370020e.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I went out yesterday to take this picture and but I didn't have the exact idea of what I was going to &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/10/inspiration-from-smuckers.html" target="_blank"&gt;use&lt;/a&gt; for it, although when I saw the&amp;nbsp;surroundings, I got inspired right away! You might laugh a little with what I'm about to say but here in San Diego I can feel the seasons a little more than in LA. Of course we don't have snow but right now is way colder than what where we used to in LA at the same time of the year. So the change of seasons is giving me more inspiration!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While taking the pictures and thinking about all this I realized how the milk has it's seasons too and how we use it in different ways all year around, so here I go...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Winter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Time for hot chocolate. As I already &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/hot-chocolate-time-nestle-abuelita.html" target="_blank"&gt;mentioned&lt;/a&gt;, we have started to make it a lot!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;Spring:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;At the&amp;nbsp;beginning&amp;nbsp;of Spring it's nice to drink a warm tea with milk and honey, that I love, maybe one day I'll take a photo for that!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;Summer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/tips-for-making-iced-lattes.html" target="_blank"&gt;Iced Lattes&lt;/a&gt;! I admit I drink them all year around but I think I have them multiplied during summer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;Fall:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Time for lots of warm cozy cooking, for example mac and cheese, pasta with bechamel or a spinach&amp;nbsp;casserole? At this time of the year, we start craving these types of foods a lot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/milk-and-cookies.html" target="_blank"&gt;milk and cookies&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/10/they-call-it-lechita.html" target="_blank"&gt;cereal&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/tips-for-making-iced-lattes.html" target="_blank"&gt;coffee&lt;/a&gt; are an all-year-around way to have our milk around here :)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-size: x-small;"&gt;- E S P A Ñ O L -&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Ayer salí a tomar esta foto y no sabía muy bien cómo la iba a tomar, o qué &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/10/inspiration-from-smuckers.html" target="_blank"&gt;props&lt;/a&gt; iba a usar pero cuando vi bien lo que había afuera me inspiré bien rápido! A lo mejor puede que se rían un poquito con lo que les voy a decir ahorita pero aquí en San Diego yo siento las estaciones mucho más que en Los Angeles. Porsupuesto que no tenemos nieve ni son tan fuertes pero ahorita por ejemplo hace mucho más frío que lo que hace en LA en estos momentos. Así que este cambio de estación me trae inspiración!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="p1"&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Al tomar la foto y pensar en las estaciones se me ocurrió escribir las diferentes maneras en que usamos la leche durante todo el año en cada estación, así que aquí voy...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;Invierno:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; Chocolate caliente. Como ya les &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/hot-chocolate-time-nestle-abuelita.html" target="_blank"&gt;mencioné&lt;/a&gt;, ya lo hemos empezado a tomar bastante!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Primavera:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; Al principio de la primavera me provoca mucho tomarme té con leche y miel, la verdad ya casi no me tomo el té sin leche, me gusta mucho!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;Verano:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/tips-for-making-iced-lattes.html" target="_blank"&gt;Cafecito frío&lt;/a&gt; con hielo! La verdad yo se que lo tomo en todas las estaciones pero durante el estoy segura de que se multiplican las veces.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000;"&gt;Otoño:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt; Hora de cocinar algo más calientico para las cenas como macarrones con queso (mac &amp;amp; cheese), &amp;nbsp;pasta con salsa bechamel o unas espinacas cocinadas con salsita de leche y queso? En esta época del año nos provoca comer mucho este tipo comidas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"&gt;Porsupuesto que aquí las &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/milk-and-cookies.html" target="_blank"&gt;galletas con leche&lt;/a&gt;, el &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/10/they-call-it-lechita.html" target="_blank"&gt;cereal&lt;/a&gt; y el &lt;a href="http://www.mamitalks.com/2011/11/tips-for-making-iced-lattes.html" target="_blank"&gt;café&lt;/a&gt; son las maneras en que tomamos leche TODO el año :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
