Monday night we had dinner earlier than usual and my kids and I went to the living room and watched the movie The Spiderwick Chronicles.

I had seen the trailer and it seemed to me a Harry Potter style movie, both with kids, dark scenes and monsters. I was afraid that my kids were a little scared but they …

Entertaining our children nowadays is quite easy, maybe too easy. We tend to let them watch too much television and play too much electronic games but I think that not all TV programs and games are that bad.

Although my son has a PlayStation 2 and we are able to control the games he buys and plays, he prefers to …

I must confess…lately I’ve been lazy when it comes to tell bedtime stories.

I use to tell a story every night to my son and daughter but lately, with the hurry to go to bed, with our conversations (that are also important) bedtime story has gone to a second third plan. I confess this is something I’ve been thinking about …

Today it was the day to go, drive some miles and watch Noddy and The Treasure Map.

Today we had high temperatures, we are used to have a fresh brise where we live so going to the interior made us have hotter temperatures and a dry air. The complex where the musical took place had no air conditioned so we …
