Look at this florist gloxinia Sinningia 'Summer Celebration' flowering. 🌸 Hopefully, we will soon be celebrating our summer and everything else. Read my new blog post about sinningia-the link is in my bio. The sinningia is a cousin of the African violet and a gesneriad. I talked with Mel Grice, the president of the Gesneriad Society and he gave me some great insight about these plants. Are you growing any of these lovely gesneriads? . . #stayhomeandread #ONWEDNESDAYSWEPLANTPINK #hangwithyourplants #flowersofinstagram #gesneriad #houseplantsrock #plantnerd #houseplantguru #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #greenyourfeed #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #apartmenttherapy #crazyplantlady #houseplantbookauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KX6bDArGC/?igshid=6ihyi2ra3e9n

Quién no ha estado enfadado en esta cuarentena?! Imagínense a los niños que de la noche a la mañana no pueden salir, ir al colegio, visitar familiares, jugar con sus amiguitos 😔 Sí, los niños son fuertes; sí, son resilentes y se adaptan a los cambios, pero esto no llega de la noche a la mañana y estoy segura que estando mas de 100 días en casa, más de 1 sentimiento de enfado y frustración se ha manifestado. Por eso les comparto la info de este #cuento de #tracemoroney de @editorialsmperu . A nosotros, papá, hijo y mamá, nos fascinan los cuentos, es más, #lahoradelcuento es sagrada 🤭 No comparto la idea de que un libro les pueda enseñar a sentir, ni cuándo sentir a un niño, nadie te puede decir qué sentir, pero si algo me ha enseñado la experiencia de ser mediadora/madrina de lectura en mi voluntariado en @vialibro y como madre de un terremotito, es que un libro los transporta a otros mundos y también los hace identificarse con las historias que leen. Los invita a reflexionar y sobre todo a expresarse. Otra ventaja es que compartir ese tiempo con sus hijos es muy enriquecedora tanto para ellos como para uno como adulto. Dense tiempo de desconectarse del mundo "adulto" para conectar con estas personitas que con su imaginación e inocencia nos enseñan tanto ❤ Y qué mejor que recibir un cuento en una presentación tan linda y con un mensaje tan bello y cierto como el que nos envío @palomadepapel.libreria 🤩 Ahí les dejo el dato, tienen historias bellas para distintas edades y gustos 😉👍 . . . #librosinfantiles #librosrecomendados #librosbonitos #cuentosparaniños #instacuentos #instalibros #literaturainfantil #fomentarlalectura #crecerleyendo #amamosleer #leeresvivir #leercambiavidas #stayhomeandread #childrenliterature #childrenbook #childrenbookillustration #ilovereading #childrenreading (en La Campiña, Lima, Peru) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCyyKD-lZXd/?igshid=1hk54bbwsfgco

Just Kids - Patti Smith

In Just Kids, Patti Smith shares with us her early adulthood: her emancipation from her mundane life into the perplexing, chaotic, yet irresistible New York City. Her life was far from easy - or even pleasant, at times - but incredibly rich. Her tender, affectionate, life-long relationship and friendship with the photographer Robert Mapplethorpe serves as an anchor throughout her narrative. We follow them on their difficult journey from unimaginable ways to make ends meet to establishing their name in the 1970s NYC art scene. The volume is enriched with photographs, poems and drawings by the author and innumerable references to her sources of inspiration, chiefly Rimbaud.

For me it was like diving into a facet of the city I love that I never knew. Patti Smith found herself at the center of the people and atmosphere that to this day influences our world. Can you imagine being patted on the back by David Bowie when you’re feeling down about your work? Their days at the Hotel Chelsea seem out-of-this world. What shone through was her independence though. Despite always being there for Robert, whom she cared deeply for, she was strong enough to establish a new life for herself even if it meant sleeping on Central Park benches. It may seem dreamy and glamorous but few would find it in themselves to endure the inevitable difficulties that emerge from these choices.

Time commitment: a few days

Accessibility: beautiful yet simple language

Overall: 9/10
