A Mamá in Seattle

I spent so much time preparing for baby that I barely thought about recovering from surgery myself.
These are the things that genuinely made my C-section recovery easier.

What would you add?

POV: You’re doing everything possible to survive car rides with a baby. 🚗👶🏻These are some of the things that keep me sane during solo car rides with my baby. From baby monitor to distraction toys, these have become our “don’t leave the house without it” ✌️

What is one thing that ALWAYS helps your baby in the car? 👇

🌷Waiting for flowers to bloom! This one is very, very easy. 🌺🌸

You know I’m all about making learning fun, right? Well, if your kiddo is into numbers, or not, I highly recommend Number Blocks on . Also in Spanish via ! I found this set on and knew it would be hit! She LOVED it and it will help her consolidate, experiment and explore number concepts. There is also a set for numbers 1-10 for those beginning with numbers. This is not sponsored at all, we truly love it. It’s from . I am planning on getting a set for my first grade class!

Books to inspire and books that are fun and open windows to new perspectives 👉🏼👉🏼. A child that likes BLING 🔅and sparkles, a boy that has two dads👨‍👨‍👧, a boy that always makes mistakes, a girl who dreams invites you to write a book, a boy who teaches us what Salam Alaikum is, and crayons that have feelings.

Libros para inspirar, algunos que hemos leído por las noches. Los primeros hablando sobre : aprendimos sobre Harriet Tubman, como una niña lucha por sus derechos, una niña que aprende tocar violin hecho de materiales reciclados en Paraguay, y un libro sobre mujeres importantes de Latinoamerica. 👉🏼Niñas que sueñan con ser presidentas, niñas que persisten y Frida Kahlo! 👉🏼👉🏼 Además otras historias divertidas que abren ventanas: un niño que le encantan los brillos🔅, un niño con dos papás, una niña que escribe libros, un niño que nos enseña el significado de Salam Alaikum y un niño que siempre se mete en problemas pero sus papàs lo aman igual❤️

For the love of math🔢. I starting disliking math when I reached 3rd grade and had to memorize multiplication facts. It went downhill from there. Not that I didn’t do well in math, but I feel I never understood math. I’m hoping my daughter has a positive experience with math and numbers. So far she involves mathematical concepts in her play, we all do! I try to make the connections very explicit when we cook, play store, restaurant, or build: how many do we need? How many more? Do you need more or less? Etc. She’s good at one-to-one correspondence already and she is excited about associating symbols (numbers) to quantities. This is something she was doing by herself one morning. She was teaching me the “right” way to trace the numbers using two fingers.

Por el amor a la matemáticas. Me gustaron los números hasta que me obligaron a aprender las tablas de multiplicación, luego mi experiencia con la mate se deterioró. No me iba mal, pero siento que no llegaba a entender todo al 100%. Lo hacía todo por pasar. No quiero que esa sea la experiencia de mi hija con los números. Los tratamos de incorporar mucho en nuestros juegos. Cuando cocinamos, cuando jugamos tiendita o restaurante, etc. Quiero que disfrute explorar los números! Y hasta ahora vamos muy bien.

Pantry art! I was cleaning the pantry and found some cool stuff she could collage with. She is reaaallly into it! Use a piece of cardboard or cut a side of a cereal box, paper will be too flimsy.
*Wanted to start 2022 with a organized pantry, who’s with me?

Estaba ordenando la despensa y encontré varios materiales perfectos para hacer collage! Está fascinada diseñando mientras yo ordeno. Usen cartulina gruesa o corten un lado de una caja de cereal, el papel es muy delgado para tanta goma.

*Tratando de cumplir mi meta de tener la despensa ordenada antes del 2022. Quién está conmigo?
