Leanna from All done Monkey is a great blogger who I met through the Kid Blog Network and Multicultural Kid Blogs which she is very involved in. As I’ve mentioned before, teaching our kids to be proud of their mixed and rich cultural background is something I always aim to support. My family come from Ireland, while their Dad’s family come from Sri Lanka and we are Muslim so all the Islamic history is also something that influences our identities and traditions. Celebrating cultural heritage is something All Done Monkey is passionate about too and Leanna shares many posts on the topic of Raising Global Citizens. Leanna is raising her kids to speaks both English and Spanish and also shares posts about Bilingualism.

Going to look at some of the Spanish tips for Monkey now
I love it. We are slowly teaching our son Spanish so he can communicate better with his grandparents living in Mexico. It’s a looooog road. Thanks for the resources!
Thank you for the feature, Anna!
My Mum’s first language is Welsh but she never spoke it with us as children so we’ve only got a smattering but we grew up in Ireland & learnt Irish Gaelic which is quite similar. Pity tho’.
I am raising a bilingual child: English & Spanish. It really helps that we live in Miami, Florida, and that both, my husband and I are native Spanish speakers. We love to keep learning languages, we’re doing French and Latin, and we’ve toyed around with Chinese. Thanks for your post!
What an awesome resource! My husband’s family is Irish, so we incorporate a lot of Irish Catholic traditions in our home!
Thanks for linking up with The Thoughtful Spot!
We’re attempting to bring the The Fairy and The Frog but its hard work – thanks for the resources.#ParentingPinItParty
