Peanuts and Putnee!!!

If your ever on State Street in Santa Barbara stop by Peanuts Maternity & Kids. Peanuts is a great store with consignment clothes for mama and baby. New merchandise from clothing, toys and baby gear are also available in the store.  My daughter and her friends love Peanuts so much! The store also has a toy train and play kitchen out on the floor for the kids to play with. The owner is super sweet and the staff is so welcoming, its a great environment.  Peanuts also has different classes available for moms and kids.  My daughter attends Putnee's music class on Fridays and absolutely loves it. Putnee sings and plays a guitar, sometimes he has puppets for the kids to play with too.  If your visiting SB and want to entertain your toddler stop by peanuts!

Dia De Los Muertos Celebration in Glendora, CA

Dia de los Muertos is one of my favorite celebrations. This year we headed to Oakdale Memorial in Glendora, Ca for day of the dead.  It was a very nice celebration and Lu had a lot of fun.  There were beautiful altars dedicated to loved ones and entertainment ballet folklorico dancers and mariachi bands.  My cousin Kiera had her face painted and she enjoyed dancing with Lucia in the cemetery.  I have many family members at Oakdale memorial and it was very nice to spend a fun day remembering them.   

RAIN BOOTS

It's raining it pouring!

Well it might rain all week, so Mommy Feliz had to find some new rain boots!  Lu and I headed to the Paseo Nuevo Mall and found some shiny black boots at ALDO. I really like them they are fitted around the leg and are super comfy. Lu's boots are from Stephen Joseph. She hasn't worn them yet but I'm hoping she will see mommy in her rain boots and will want to wear hers. Maybe, I should go jump in some puddles, that would motivate her. lol

Halloween!!!

Lucia and Santiago had so much fun trick or treating.  They dressed up as their favorite characters. Lucia has an obsession with Elmo and Santiago can't get enough of Thomas the Train.

Santiago's daddy did an awesome job, of creating Thomas the Train around Santiago's wagon.  Many parents and trick or treaters oohed and ahhed as they walked by Santiago. And, tourists vacationing in Santa Barbara, asked to take pictures of Santiago and his train.  

Lucia's tulle skirt of Elmo, was a costume I found on Pintrest. I thought it was so adorable! I knew I had to make one for Lu! It was really easy to make and inexpensive.  I wasn't sure how much tulle I was going to need. I started with five yards and ended up using ten. Lucia loved looking at her Elmo costume, but wasn't too excited to wear it.  Once, I told her she was going to get candy if she wore her costume, she immediately put it on. There is nothing wrong with a little bribery, lol! We had a great Halloween!
