Say hello to my sister, Little L!

It's been a very long time.

My days as a blogger are over (at least I think they are?) — I'm now mami's sort of photographer (I'm getting really good!) and I'm busy taking care of my new sister, Little L. She is so so cute and I can always make her laugh.

She came out of mami's tummy just after I became 4 years old in January, but she is already following in my footsteps and blogging with the Mouse. Yep! She went straight to the top and is blogging about her new life on Disney Baby. I'm so proud of her!

Make sure to follow her and mami there and if you really really miss me, check me out on mami's Instagram — I'm always photo bombing her pictures!

Little M

Taking a little break

I know, I know it's been a long time since I have blogged but that doesn't mean that mami and I have stopped.

I'm taking more of backseat on this blogging thing and she is now blogging on her own at Very Busy Mama {life, beauty & style}. So join her (and me!) over there!

This isn't the end of Mummy's Busy World, just a little break.

And did you know I'm going to be a big brother?

Si! Mami has a baby inside her tummy!

Best Apps for Toddlers: Travel Edition

I know it's been a good long time since we have blogged here. I've been more focused on Very Busy Mama but always with this site in mind and what direction to take it in. I want to keep it family friendly and focused on all things kids. 

To be honest, we are going through such major changes in our life (yes, still!) that it's been a tough balancing act with the other site and my freelance work. 

We are now in Chile visiting my family for six weeks and Little M has been a bit of a nightmare really. Poor guy is completely out of his element, he keeps asking when papi will come (he comes in a few weeks) and wants to know where OUR CASA is. Heartbreaking.

The trip here had me worried but just before traveling I managed to buy a "vintage" iPad. Well, its the original iPad, which I am not too concerned about and despite my husband giving me the "do we really need this look" it literally saved me sanity on the 9 hour flight to Santiago. 

I downloaded a few apps and despite him never having used one before wasted no time in getting it. It's amazing just how quick they learn. I started with the free apps, but let's face it, they are limiting and don't let you get very far without a banner popping up asking you to upgrade or they simply don't have sound. What's the point of that?

Here are a few apps that I have found entertaining, educational and most certainly worth my money.

1. Elmo

2. Dora

3. Curious George

4. Penguin

I know there are thousands more, but these four have kept him entertained and he is always saying "C is for Cookie Mami!"

What are you favorite apps for toddlers? If you have any recommendations  let me know! I have a long flight back you know!

Fun Movie Alert! DisneyNature's CHIMPANZEE

I had seen movies on a big TV before, and I'd been to one in London, but not as big as the one we went to this week...it was ENORMOUS! Mami said it was called the "movie theater".

What ever it was, it was so cool!

We were invited by Disney to see the advanced screening of CHIMPANZEE at the Mazza Gallerie in Washington, DC. It was during my bedtime, but mami said it was a special occasion and so off we went.

That's Oscar!

Hey! I didn't care, I was happy to not have to go to bed. AND I begged mami to buy me popcorn. She didn't want to at first, but I just kept asking, and asking and asking until she finally said "Ok, but you have to be a good boy".

OF COURSE, I said yes, gave her my very best good boy look. I think she thought I was going to share, because she and Oma dug right in. I stuck both of my hands into the bucket and said "no mami, only for me".  She managed to get a few, but I ate ALL OF IT! YEP!

But then I really wanted water....oh well. I was soooooo yummy!

Anyway, the movie was great, and there was a little monkey, I mean chimpanzee named Oscar who was actually a lot like me. It is a true life adventure that follows Oscar and his chimpanzee family deep in the forests of Africa and it is told by Tim Allen.

I know Oscar is a chimp, but we had a lot in common! He went everywhere his mami went, she fed him, she kissed and hugged him, he rode on her back. At night time he jumped all over his bed of leaves and in the morning he would open his mami's eyes when she didn't get up. Those are all of the things I DO!

This is a DisneyNature movie, so it's not a cartoon and everything is real. Mami and Oma said it was fascinating to see the chimps family bond and how little Oscar learns how to survive and learn new skills after his mami gets hurt.

This movie is out today Friday April 20th across the US. Mami and I recommend it to everyone, big and small. All the adults loved it and the of course, so did the kids!

Have a great weekend everyone, I'll be wearing a tux for my uncle Jeff's wedding!

P.S. and if you go see CHIMPANZEE in the opening week, Disney will make a donation to the Jane Goodall Institute to protect wild chimpanzees

Mummy's Busy World is TWO!

Yes! Can you believe I started this blog two years ago?! Yep, me. Mami was "super busy" back then (not sure what is now??) and kept talking about blogging. So I just did it for her!

So much has changed and happened along the way for all of us. I don't wear nappies anymore. Mami understands me when I speak, she doesn't work at the office anymore, I can ride my scooter without falling and we live in another country!

There is lots more, but that would be way too long.

I'm sure you have guessed it's been quiet around here, but mami has new things going on, I'm busy hanging out with my friends, grandparents and my aunts and uncles and it's not just us three anymore with papi at his new job.

Everything has changed and I think this blog has too. But that's okay - change is good. At least so far it has been for us.

For now, I will keep popping in, but now that mami has time I let her be the blogger at her site.

So, we want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has joined us along the way, read our stories, entered our giveaways and really taken the time to know us. We have made some great friends and we are very grateful for that.

Mami and I send you a very big beso (that's kiss) and hug!

Easter Special: The Lion of Judah DVD & giveaway

This week mami and I decorated my Easter basket and I even did an egg hunt with some friends. Mami says Easter is next week and we have to be ready. After finding some eggs, we came home, had lunch and watched a new film that was sent to me.

It's called  The Lion of Judah and it's about a lamb named Judah who has the heart of a lion. Mami said that means he is very brave!

That's Judah! Mami says she loves his little face

It tells the story of Easter from the animals point of view, and I couldn't take my eyes off of it. When papi walked in front of the TV I shouted "Move papi!" because I didn't want to miss any of it!

There they go to save Judah!

See when all the barn animals (those are the stable mates) including the piggy and horse find out that their friend Judah the lamb has been captured by the townspeople and want to highlight him as part of an annual feast, the animals all leave their barn and take off on a super adventure to save their friend. And in the end they save him and they learn lots of new things about history along the way.

It is approved for the entire family (I watched it with my Oma and mami) so you can all gather around and watch it together during Easter week. Isn't everyone on Spring break now?

Here is a sneak peek at the film. But don't worry, it's not spoiling the surprise!

It is now out on Blu-Ray 3D, Blu-Ray and DVD right now, but we also have one copy to giveaway. We know you are doing to like it!

Giveaway

All you have to do is:

1. Leave a comment with your name and email 

2. Tell us, what is your favourite Easter time tradition 

That's it!

Rainy day walk in the woods

We've been at grandma and grandpa's house for a week and we have had lots of sun every day!

We even went to the beach it was the hot. Mami says it's very early for us to be at the beach, but we've been enjoying it! Mami even buried me in the sand!

Today though, the clouds came out and when I woke up I peeked out the window and it was RAINING! And not just a little bit. Nope. I was so much I couldn't really see clear. I wanted to go play outside, but papi said we would wait until later to jump in the puddles.

And that's just what we did. It took long enough, but we finally headed out for walk in the woods. All of us had our boots and I made to sure to stomp in every muddy puddle that I could find.

Pudding jumping!

We saw lots of insects, like ants, dragon flies, spiders and I even found a snail but I accidentally let go of him and he fell in the water.

I hope Mr Snail is okay and that he was able to swim back to shore.

Looking for insects!

I also saw a baby pine tree that papi said will grow to be big and tall and have lots of pine cones and right next to it was a huge ANT hill. There were tiny ants everywhere! I asked mami to "get ant mami" but she said "Noooooo, Little M. I'm not touching the ants!" and we both stepped back and watch them crawl on our boots. 

I don't know about you, but I love family walks and spending time alone with mami and papi. Papi is going to start his new job soon and that means he will go to the office everyday like he used to in London. 

I am going to miss him very, very, very, very much, but mami and I will be waiting for him when he gets home at night.

What do you like to do with your family?

Bust a move! Curious George Dance Contest

Who doesn't love to bust a move? Mami is always dancing around and I have a few sweet moves I like to bring out, especially when we have guests over.

When I was really little, I would go with mami to a "Mummy and Me Salsa" class in London. Even though I couldn't walk yet, she would put me in a sling and we would dance away.


 I liked the turns and the smooth swaying we would do. I would just yell out with excitement and enjoy the bumpy ride! So you can see why I love to dance so much. 


And when I was able to walk, I would dance at my nursery school and at the end of the year we put on a special show.  It was so much fun to see mami and papi watching ME perform and showing off. Everyone liked it so much that they clapped and clapped. That just made me want to dance even more! 


To be honest, I think I'm pretty good at it. 

So naturally we said YES when Curious George himself asked mami and I to join him in inviting parents and guardians to enter a video of your kid(s) dancing to the Curious George theme song for the Curious George Dance Contest for a chance to be featured on a Curious George DVD. 

HOW COOL IS THAT?!


So get camera ready and show off your best moves! You have until the 2nd of April to submit your video.


A panel of judges will review the video submissions and pick 10 finalists. Then, starting April 16^th through April 30^th, George’s friends and fan (the us viewers) will vote for the winner. 


All finalists will receive a Curiosity Kit, filled with a Curious George book, game, DVD, and other fun George merchandise. 


Oh AND, you might even win a visit from George himself!  

Entering is super easy and you must do so at the Curious George Dance Contest Site. From there you can see just how to download the theme song and upload the video.


Now get rocking and buena suerte!

Getting messy making MUD PIES!

* Trendy Toddler Tuesday is on at Very Busy Mamá*

It's been so sunny here. I'm not used to having lots of sun all of the time. In London we bright days, but never this much. Phewwww! I'm hot, I keep asking mami to put on "air cold" in the car. None of this window down business.

Anyway, last week I went over to my friend Trey's house. His mami is TC from The Mommies Made Me Do It  (they ALWAYS do fun things!) and we planted flowers, dug up some worms, ran through the sprinklers and had TWO ice creams. I wore my swimming trunks, hat and I was ready to go!

Mami let me get as muddy, sticky and dirty as I wanted. Good thing because I was going to do it anyway. At the very end, and this is the BEST part of the day, we made MUD PIES!

Trey's mami let us put real glitter and sprinkles on them and then we even put five candles. We were going to pretend it was mami's birthday.

We lit them and even sang! But then mami said she was going to eat a piece and before she put a piece of mud in her mouth I said, "No mami. That's not chocolate. That's MUD!"

Good thing I told her, otherwise it would have been yucky.

Win a family 4 pack of tickets to Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Fairfax!

I've never been to the circus....but I know that Peppa and George have gone and I've seen clowns on TV so I can't wait to see it in real life!

I've been (well, mami and papi too) invited to see the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus Fully Charged show at the George Mason Patriot Center on the 4th of April (they are at the Verizon Center this week until the 18th of March and will also perform at the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Maryland from the 21st of March to the 1st of April).

The Greatest Show On Earth encourages families to disconnect from the digital world for an afternoon and enjoy the FUN!

Here are all the details of the show:

Fully Charged is an all-new surge of circus entertainment where megawatts of thrills explode off of the arena floor with breathtaking dare-devilry, superhuman stunts and never-before-seen performances that energize Children Of All Ages! The 141st Edition of The Greatest Show On Earth is the most electrifying edition of Ringling Bros. ever to come to DC!
 
Fully Charged is lead by dynamo newcomer, Brian Crawford Scott, only the 36th Ringmaster in the 141-year history of Ringling Bros. The amazing acts of Fully Charged include Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer whose rare ability to communicate with animals allows him to ride rearing stallions at a fully-charged gallop, orchestrate majestic four-ton Asian elephants in a symphony of dance, and stand eye to eye in a cage with 12 ferocious tigers. 

Ever wonder how many clowns it takes to change a light bulb? The hilarious hoopla continues to flow as the clowns from the world-famous Ringling Bros. Clown Alley, charge up the audiences’ funny bones with hysterical silly antics and clownish comedy. 


Oh and get there early so you can take part in the All Access Power Up Pre-Show Party that starts one hour before the show and lets us, the audience members meet and take photos with performers, try on circus costumes and  learn circus skills. Yippeee!

How to make a PILLOW MONSTER!

** If you are looking for Trendy Toddler Tuesday, 

please visit Very Busy Mamá where it is being held this week**

Mami isn't the best at coming up with fun crafts, but every once in a while she does get an idea and it turns out to be GOOD!

This week we made a PILLOW MONSTER! And it's just what you think it is...a pillow monster. Simple and fun.

This is how we made it so you can try it too.

What you need:
An old pillow
An old long sleeved shirt - best if striped or with a pattern (this is the monster's body)
Rubber bands
Multi colored felt
Glue gun or felt glue

How to make the pillow monster:
Put the shirt over the pillow
Sew or glue the top if the neck is too wide
Put rubber bands on wrists
Cut out circles for the eyes - make them any shape or layer one on top of other
Cut out a funky nose
Cut out mouth and add fangs!
Cut long stripes of different color felt for the hair and fingers

Use glue gun or felt glue and paste eyes, nose, mouth and hair to the pillow. Mami did this because it's very dangerous for me.

After it was dry she went back and did some light sewing to make sure all the pieces stay in place.

Then the pillow monster is done. Check mine out!

Then take your pillow and SNUGGLE!

Cool, right?

And you if like this idea, we would love for you to share it by tweeting or posting on Facebook - just use the icons below! We are so proud of this!!

Linking up with Kids Get Crafty

Trendy Toddler Tuesday moving to Very Busy Mamá

Mami wants to try Trendy Toddler Tuesday over at her blog this week and I'll just stick to crafts, days out, and baking!

I have a great post on how to make a pillow monster, so check back in.

See you all tomorrow!

Trendy Toddler Tuesday Week 11: Bring on Spring!

Mami and I are still planning some changes to this blog, that's why it's been quiet here for some time. But don't worry, we are still out and having fun!

We noticed that we miscounted our Trendy Toddler posts - but I've gone back and fixed those. Anyway, this weekend we we were out again exploring in Washington, DC and we ventured into Maryland and went to Great Falls. I actually saw a waterfall...it was so cool!

Sunday we went shopping, but this time it was for me! I picked up a pair of cool shades that look just like mami's...well, the one's I broke back in London (I remember because mami kind of cried when she found them on the floor, oops!) We also got short trousers. I thought they were baby pants, but mami said they were for "the summer". Then papi suggested a few polos that look just like his.

We got everything on "mega sale" as mami said from The Children's Place. I don't think I have ever been in there and mami said she couldn't believe she had not shopped there before.

Bring on Spring!

My new shades

Stripes!

Bright polos

Skull design shorts

Their motto is Big Fashion, Little Prices. 

Each of the shirts were $7 and the shorts $13

But it doesn't end there! Mami wants to go back to get this blazer:

Can I wear this to the playground?

And these boat shoes...

I'm going to end up looking like my tata, tío Tomás and papi all at once!

So what will you be wearing this spring? SHOW US!

Hey, a very late Trendy Toddler Tuesday Week 10

Hi everyone, so sorry about Trendy Toddler Tuesday. As you may have seen it's been a bit quiet here and at mami's blog just because we have lots going on and sometimes things happen and there isn't any time to sit at the computer.

If you did a Trendy Toddler Tuesday for this week, just tweet mami @verybusymama and she will share it on our Facebook page and RT it. That way we can stop by and see what you have been stylin'!

Also, we may do it once a month just so that we never forget again. What do you think?

Thanks for joining us - we promise to get our "acts together" as mami says. There have been too many changes in our lives and I think it has sort of caught up to us.

We love this blog and we will keep posting fun and interesting this, just bear with us, okay?

Thank you!

Trendy Toddler Tuesday: Week 9

Here's the truth: I need new clothes. My feet are growing very fast, my belly is getting bigger and my legs are getting longer. Mami can't keep up and not just that but we have to take it easy on "the shopping" papi said. Budget is the word he used. 

So you see, I don't have a whole lot to show you because there isn't too much trendiness going on here. But last week Mami and I were at Old Navy where she did get me a new top, but we were in a rush so we will have to go back. They had lots of clothes for kids and at a really good price. 

So until we go back, I have put together some pictures of the stuff I want her to get me....I really like the high tops and the yellow jacket!

We know there isn't an Old Navy in the UK, but we just have to tell you that they have great and affordable clothing for everyone in the family but especially for kids. You can't go wrong in there!

Hooded Striped Sweater

Dinosaur Graphic Tee

Cuffed Khakis

Canvas High Tops

Hooded Anorak

Little M - that's me!

Prices start at $6 - $12

What do you think about our choices? Oh and the pink shades are my own. It's been really sunny here lately and I need to make sure I keep the sun out of my face. 

And now we want to see what you have been wearing, so please join in, link up and show us what you got!

New movie alert: The Secret World of Arrietty

This past weekend mami and papi left me with Oma and they spent the weekend in Georgetown. I should have known they were going to be gone a few days when I saw mami take a suitcase with her on Friday night. Sneaky mami!


Anyway, I found out later that mami and papi were invited to the advanced Washington, DC screening of the Disney movie The Secret World of Arrietty (AIR-ee-ett-ee) which is based on  Mary Norton's children's book series "The Borrowers." I wanted to go, but mami promised to take me another day.

The movie, which opens today the 17th of February in all the movie theaters across the United States is about really little people who live underneath the floor boards in their own secret world. Imagine that! I wonder if there are any in my house?


There are some very famous people doing the voices of the characters, including mami and papi's favorite actors Amy Poehler and Will Arnett!

Arrietty (voice of Bridgit Mendler), a tiny, but tenacious 14-year-old, lives with her parents (Arnett and Poehler) in the recesses of a suburban garden home, unbeknownst to the homeowner and her housekeeper (voice of Carol Burnett). 

Like all little people, Arrietty remains hidden from view, except during occasional covert ventures beyond the floorboards to “borrow” scrap supplies like sugar cubes from her human hosts. 

But when 12-year-old Shawn (voice of David Henrie), a human boy who comes to stay in the home, discovers his mysterious housemate one evening, a secret friendship blossoms. If discovered, their relationship could drive Arrietty’s family from the home and straight into danger. The English language version of “The Secret World of Arrietty” was executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, and directed by Gary Rydstrom.

Sound good right? Well, it is!


Mami and papi really enjoyed it and said it was even better than they expected! What they most liked is knowing the actors doing the voices because that made it more fun to watch. Everyone can go see this film because it is rated G and only 95 minutes long. 

So if you are looking for a good family movie, this is for you. Make sure to check your local listings first. 

Enjoy!

*Tickets were provided for the screening of this film*
