First I would pick a place in my house where I know the altar would be noticed...for me it's the center of my home a long hall way with a good area for table or bookshelf..then I would think of WHO I want to remember...then I would make a list of what each person LOVED... find my pics and my offerings and go from there...you are very creative I am sure you would think of a cute set up!!! <br /><br />Glad everyone liked it!!! :) <br /><br />Melissa, I am so glad that it could help you brainstorm..I love those moments of ideas and inspirations that are teachable to my children! <br /><br />Ari, Thank YOU; I try to teach my kids about our culture and make sure that they learn about me and what makes me who I am! :D Connie Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510787835790788342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249907927411822801.post-31159209426348784352012-11-01T00:49:23.059-06:002012-11-01T00:49:23.059-06:00OMG!!!

I have tired and failed to find something here in Sacramento, CA. Boo! <br /><br />I, too, struggle with teaching my daughter about the experiences that I had growing up. So seeing this post gives me ideas and inspiration!

Being from Argentina we don't celebrate this Holiday but since I was raised in Texas it is A MUST for me to go out and check out all the altares I can go visit. So happy that you're teaching your kids about the tradition you had as a little girl. Thanks so much for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09596135365020109857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249907927411822801.post-20197002623875110472012-10-31T13:05:24.406-06:002012-10-31T13:05:24.406-06:00I wish I had somewhere like this to take my son! ...I wish I had somewhere like this to take my son! Thanks so much for posting this. It's like you read my mind/thoughts!! Recently my son asked me about "Dia de los Muertos", I don't even know how he heard of it. Anyways, I've been contemplating if I wanted to start celebrating. This is all new to me too! I'm sure my husband celebrated while living in Mexico. I'm really hoping he like my plan to make an alter to honor our loved ones who have passed. I have no idea where to start or what to do. The day will be here before you know it, so I need to get a move on. I hope I do it this year, if not, next year for sure. I like how you said, "If you can't take your kids to Mexico, you'll just have to bring Mexico to them." Also, your abuela had some good consejos.... it makes a lot more sense for us to be afraid of the living much more than the dead.<br />Abrazos amiga!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03578872293162455848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249907927411822801.post-3786891043847315572012-10-31T12:16:54.998-06:002012-10-31T12:16:54.998-06:00So cool and looks like fun!So cool and looks like fun!Casey Ayala (DreamTree Photography)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00276861784881751037noreply@blogger.com
