Valentine’s Day Cards in Spanish for Your Niños!
We are just a weekend away from one of the cutest holidays to celebrate with kids: Valentine’s Day. This holiday is known in Spanish-speaking countries as either San Valentín or El Día del Amor y la Amistad. I love calling it El Día del Amor y la Amistad because it not only celebrates romantic love, but also love in friendship and family. Viva Greetings has created these special Valentine’s coloring cards just for you–our dear SpanglishBaby friends! You can printRead More ...
Have Passport, Will Travel
It’s finally here! My son’s passport just arrived in the mail which means we’re all set to go on our trip back home to Perú in 9 days! As I opened the envelope from the U.S. State Department and took my first look at this small blue book, I couldn’t help but think of all the people who’d give anything to have one of their own, too. I stopped to think about the unimaginable risks people — including thousands ofRead More ...
Minnie’s Masquerade DVD with Mickey Mote {Giveaway}
Disney has done it again!

The Mickey mote has to be programmed before it can be used. Even though the instructionsRead More ...
Video of the Week: Gnomeo and Juliet
My daughter is still in complete disbelief that I got to watch Gnomeo and Juliet (twice!) already and she wasn´t with me. I actually feel very guilty about it, although there was nothing I could do because I was officially “working.” I know, I love my job as a mom blogger! So, while she (not so) patiently waits for Gnomeo and Juliet to hit theaters this Friday, February 11, we’ve been trolling YouTube for some clips and jamming in theRead More ...
Traveling to Perú in Old Navy Fashion {Giveaway}
As some of you might know, I’m taking my family back home to Perú in a couple of weeks. I am ecstatic. Looking forward to eating tons of ceviche and helado de lucuma while hanging out with all the people I love so dearly. My family has yet to meet my son, Santiago, and I get to spend my birthday over there — something I haven’t done since I was a child. But one of the things I’m looking forwardRead More ...
A Gnomeo and Juliet Hollywood Moment
When Roxana and I decided to create SpanglishBaby over two years ago, we had no idea what we were really getting ourselves into. We´ve dedicated much of our time, resources and energy to this labor of love which is now starting to pay back in the form of friendships, perks, a few sponsorships and invitations to events where we get to meet other bloggers and interesting people. Apparently, it all comes with the territory of the “mom blogger” world andRead More ...
