Better Sleep with Milk! #Positivismo

With school back in full swing for most of our kids, making sure they get a good night sleep is crucial! I’m going to be honest here, bedtime has always been a struggle in our family and during the summer my kiddos stayed up to almost 11pm or yes occasionally until midnight. I’m not proud of it. Getting them back into a routine has proven very difficult. I try to start bedtime routines around 7pm, however most of the time they don’t fall asleep until 8:30pm.

Having a child who is sleep deprived is not fun. It can affect learning and well it is just plain difficult to deal with a cranky child. Did you know that sending your kiddo to bed with a glass of milk in their tummy can lead to a better night sleep? We are adding this to part of our bedtime routine because who doesn’t want a kiddo sleeping through the night with a full night of restful sleep. I know I want well rested kids that are not cranky and ready to face the day.

Make sure to tune in every night between 7-9 pm PT to Telemundo and Univision to watch the California Milk Board’s commercial, “Ya es hora de ir a la cama”/“It’s Time To Go To Bed.” It’s a great reminder for parents and kiddos to get that good night of rest. Don’t forget to check out El Maestro Del Vaso Medio Lleno on Facebook.

This is part of a sponsored campaign with the California Milk Processor Board and Latina MomBloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

Batman Live Tour

Do you have a little Batman fan at home? We have two at home and they can’t wait to check out the Batman Live Tour coming to the Staples Center September 27th to the 30th.

You might be asking what is Batman Live? Well it is an all-new, live-action arena spectacular BATMAN LIVE is a 15 million dollar stage production with an original story featuring a 43 strong cast of actors and circus trained acrobats, a 3D Gotham City landscape, a bespoke symphonic score, custom-built state-of-the-art stage, a 100 foot bat-shaped LED video wall, pyrotechnics and the impressive Batmobile, designed especially for the show by legendary racing car designer Professor Gordon Murray.

Faithfully adapted from the DC Comics characters and stories, BATMAN LIVE focuses on Robins quest for justice, which leads him to follow in the footsteps of his hero the mysterious vigilante known as Batman, much to the dismay of his protective guardian, billionaire Bruce Wayne, whom the audience knows is secretly Batman. This dynamic triangle resolves itself in a non-stop thrill-ride across Gotham City that transforms Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson into the legendary crime-fighters, Batman and Robin. The adventure transports the audience from the Big Top of Haly’s Circus to the depths of Arkham Asylum, and from the glittering peaks of the Penguins Iceberg Lounge to the subterranean wonders that await inside the Batcave.

You can see a clip of what this show is all about here.

You can learn more about the show by checking out Batman Live on Facebook or you can purchase tickets here. You can purchase a family four pack of tickets for $80. That’s a pretty good deal for an arena show. The Staples Center will host 7 shows from September 27th to the 30th. You don’t want to miss it!
