About: Ana Flores

I’m worried. I know I shouldn’t be. But, I’m a mom. And moms worry, right? I know that what I’m going to say is going to sound crazy considering all the research I’ve been doing the last couple of years, all the tips and studies shared by our knowledgeable experts, and all the support we’ve gotten from the awesome community SpanglishBaby has become.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVlk93wSiCc&feature=channel_video_title My tie for favorite animated movies last year was definitely between Toy Story 3 and Tangled.  I knew TS 3 was going to be good, but I was so pleasantly surprised that Tangled was as good as it is, and that Disney’s version of Rapunzel is a strong, willful and beautiful princess with 70-foot hair to tout. Tangled will finally hit stores on March 29, but Disney sent us an advanced copy of the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack last week;Read More ...

We were part of a small group of bloggers and media invited to get a sneak peek of the first hilarious 13 minutes of the filmRead More ...

Our house is full of children’s books. They’re everywhere. In my kids’ bedrooms, in their playroom in the basement, in the family room, in my bedroom and even in the bathroom! I’d say maybe 90% of the books are in Spanish, except for the board books which are mostly in English because I’ve always had a really hard time finding board books en español. While my almost 5-year-old daughter no longer has patience for the simple stories usually told onRead More ...
