Double Rainbow {© SpanglishBaby Media} I love, love rainbows. After a humongous storm last week, I took a look out the window and this is what I saw! ¿Pueden ver el segundo arcoiris? ...

We are two Latina moms – best friends since college – who are extremely passionate about ensuring our children not only speak both our languages, English and Español, but that they also grow up proud of both their cultures, Latino and American.
