Monday. Feeling okay. It’s raining, and I’m snuggled watching Pachamama with my eldest. Yes, it’s 7:00am. This summer is one of transitions for me, and I’m waiting as patiently as I can to accept all these changes. I’ll be slowly disconnecting from social media in an effort to keep my use at a minimum. I am enjoying IG stories a lot more now though. Like anyone, changes are tough to accept, but getting through them is an accomplishment. My focus remains on my babies, my husband, my music studio, and the life we’ve created. Thanks for sticking with me. Con mucho amor, Izzie. . . . . #houstonlatinabloggers #houstonblogger #bloggermom #latinablogger #multiculturalmama #musicaparaniños #workathomemom #mamiofboys #boymama #mompreneurlifestyle #lifestyleguide #jefa #latinapoderosa #cambioscambios #changeschanges #letstalkaboutit #stickwithme

An incredible experience this morning at Crocodile Encounter in Angleton! The boys enjoyed learning about and experiencing life with alligators, crocodiles, tortoises, and other reptiles and mammals around the park. We even learned about a fun summer camp program for kids ages 5-14 that we may try. Needless to say, this was Julian’s absolute favorite day. 🐢🦎🐊🐍 - - - - #houstontx #thingstodoinhouston #kidsactivitieshouston #reptiles #crocodileencounter #angletontx #herpetologistintraining #herpetology #reptilelover #julianchea #naturekids #wildschooling #wildschoolers #boymom #momofboys #alligators #crocodiles #homeschooling #homeschooldays

How much fun was our #picnicliterariohouston?! Many thanks to @entredospodcast and @booklandiabox for the wonderful, impactful, and inspiring Literary Picnic! Listening to parents, abuelos, siblings, and children reading and conversing en Español was incredible! Evelyn’s Conservancy set us up under the beautiful oak trees. Can’t wait to do it again in the Fall! - - - - #bilingualkids #raisingbilinguals #bilingualbooks #raisingreaders #librosinfantiles #librosjuveniles #librosenespañol #shoplatinx #latinaboss #podcasts #entredospodcast #booklandia #booklandiakids #booklandiabox

I appreciate authors and illustrators like @susanverde and @peterhreynolds so much. To frame social activism and the essence of being human in such child-friendly and honest ways is such a gift to children’s literature. These are already favorites in our own home library. What books do you use to talk about social activism and humanity in your home or school? - - - - #consciousparenting #socialactivism #humanism #iamhuman #saysomething #susanverde #peterhreynolds #socialactivist #activistparenting #secularhomeschool #secularhomeschooler #thisishomeschool #kidlit #representationmatters #letstalkaboutit #humanrights #raisingreaders #raisinggoodhumans #empathy #radicalempathy

Some wisdom from Fredrick Douglass for you today. If it’s worth pursuing, it will be hard. It will beat you down. It will leave you bloodied and bruised and maybe even scarred. Don’t let that be a deterrent to achieving dreams. Dreams of equality, human rights, and peace. Dreams of fighting for what’s right. Dreams of protecting the most vulnerable in our society. Dreams of an enlightened collective, who understand the grave danger we face regarding climate change. Dreams of living, really living, without the fear of crippling debt due to student loans, unforeseen medical challenges, and predatory lending practices. Dreams of a high quality, SAFE, and nurturing learning environment for our children, without active shooter drills and unnecessary standardized testing. Dreams of true, life-honoring elder care. And dreams that we can and will become a society that values our rich collective experience as a people, with gratitude, love, and support. Honor, forgive, love, engage, embrace, fight, protect, renew, enlighten, carry, bridge. My Thursday thoughts for you today. - - - - #ittakesavillage #thursdaythoughts #thursdaythought #lifecoach #racism #womensrights #humanrights #medicareforall #freecollege #turntexasblue #activism #womanempowerment #womenslifecoach #latinablogger #bookstagrammers #aclu #fredrickdouglass #wearethechange #civilrights #inspired #raisingreaders #secularhomeschool #humanist
