Expose Your Kids to Spanish in These Unlikely Places
I’m not a huge breakfast eater — unless I go to the French bakery by my house, which is run by a couple from the south of France who moved to Denver five years ago. I don’t know how I got so lucky, but the bakery is on my way to Santiago’s preschool and so I stop in there regularly to devour freshly-baked croissants and the best baguettes I’ve ever had outside of France.

Ideas for Last Minute Under $10 Gifts for Reyes Magos
On a recent trip to Tijuana, I got my daughter Vanessa a wall calendar in Spanish. Since we just got back home from a holiday trip, we only put it up yesterday.

Our Sneak Peek of the Cars Land Float for the 2013 Rose Parade!
Cars Land, the newest land in the Disneyland Resort, is now also going down in history as a 125-foot long float in the 2013 Rose Parade! I’ve been a fan of watching the Rose Parade ever since I can remember. I used to wake up early on New Year’s Day after staying up super late the night before in some classic Salvadoran party-all-night style (yes, even when I was just a child!) just to watch the Rose Parade in itsRead More ...
