Israel “Cachao” Lopez : Siempre Presente en la Musica

You just watched Israel “Cachao” Lopez, called the father of the mambo, passed this past Saturday in his home in Coral Gables, Florida. If you have ever seen this maestro perform live, you know the energy, el sentido y el sentimiento, that he brought to Cuban music in particular and music in general.
While he won’t be here playing, he has left a rich legacy of music that all should familiarize themselves with. For a taste check out his MySpace (yes even Cachao has a MySpace).
Que sigue la descarga en el cielo como en la tierra.

As a mami to a toddler, I know how precious naptime is (how do you think I get any blogging done). I’m not typically a fan of funny parenting books (ok of any parenting books) and I admit that when I opened Naptime is the New Happy Hour: and Other Ways Toddlers Turn Your Life Upside Down by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, I was skeptical about how much I would enjoy the book.
The book is divided like many books for new mamis, dealing with some of the most pressing issues like television, tantrums, sickness, and food issues. But these issues aren’t handled in your usual way. If you’re a hardcore attachment mom, you won’t appreciate the jabs at co-sleeping. If you’re a hard core organic mom, you won’t appreciate the jabs at freak outs about kids eating processed food. But if you’re like most moms, you’ll appreciate the witty and real look at how a little bit of tv won’t kill your kids but will give you a chance to take a crap in peace and how playdates are usually fun for your kids but not so much for you.
