Easter Chocolate Eggs

I want to make a parenthesis on my Maternity posts to talk to you about one of my favorite traditions: Easter Mona. Here in Catalonia we call it “La Mona de Pascua”

It’s a normal cake, sometimes with custard sometimes not, and a big chocolate egg with some fluffy chicken and colorful feathers.

Is not celebrated in all Spain. The tradition is found on Murcia, Valencia, Catalonia, Aragon and Castilla la Mancha.

Lately, a little toy is added to the cake. I always add an animal for my kids. This year I will be adding a two unicorns. One for my boy and other for my little girl who loves horse.

Why I’m not Getting Pregnant

If you are not getting pregnant, you could be worrying that you never will. However, there are many possible reasons why you aren’t conceiving, including ovulation irregularities, structural problems in the reproductive system, low sperm count, underlying medical problems, or simply not trying enough.

If you’re having difficulty getting pregnant, know that there is help available. The best way you can know if you have fertility issues is to consult an obstetrician. The doctor can evaluate you for fertility problems and treatment.

Couples sometimes delay testing their fertility because they are in perfect health. But many people who have infertility issues do not have outward signs or symptoms of a fertility problem.

Beginning The Experience

When you are missing your period you first start wondering if you are pregnant. The easiest method to check if you are pregnant is using a pregnancy test. You can buy them on drugstores.

You need to choose an specific period of time because the pregnancy hormone will only appear after 15 days have passed since the conception.

I remember being really sad on first tests because it took me a lot to get pregnant

It was only the beginning of the looong journey it took us to become parents.

Potty Training Process

When you first start Potty training your child you think it will be a short process. We have had many ups and downs. Specially with Christmas holidays in between.

Cute pee and poo characters

Looking around on Youtube I noticed some blogers were using brives for their children. At first, it was a fabulous idea. When my boy saw his chart with a car on it was really excited. My boy loves stickers so what possibly could be wrong?

He is still trying to manage going to the toilet. The good news is that he can hold pee for a lot of hours but we finally realized that he didn’t like the potty. Big WC is what it’s ok for him.

We are still on the process and while we learn with him a lot of questions come to my mind. Stay tuned. I will update you with more information.

Happy 2023!

When I was a child, we did only celebrate Three Magi Kings holiday talking about presents.

      Adding a New Style

      We recently added a new flat style to our catalog. We wanted to add something trendy and flat with a little of line. It reminds us to our childhood when we saw American cartoons from the 60s – 80s like Snoopy or Hannah Barbera tv shows.

      We absolutely guarantee you it’s made with love.
