Everyone has been talking about Disney’s “Teen Beach Movie” (including my very, very pre-teen Diego)! He can’t help but hear what his friend’s older siblings are saying and he catches the commercials on Disney all the time. Even more exciting: Disney’s Club Penguin is partying it up backstage at the “Teen Beach Movie” Summer Jam! Club Penguin is new to my son but as soon as I told him he could give it a try, he was all over it. FromRead More ...

When Carla realized there was a lack of products for Latino families that celebrated our culture’s uniqueness she decided to do something about it. Carla and her husband put manos a la obra and created Lanugo, a line of apparel that is, like their slogan says, Latino de corazón. You canRead More ...

Birdie’s Playhouse‘s recently released CD, Muévete Como Los Animales, tiene TUMBAO! Birdie’s music will make your kids little feet and arms pounce, waddle, flap, or buzz across the floor depending on which animal is up front and center! My daughter loved her little laso (streamer) so much after dancing with it on and off all day that she had to place it right next to her bed before bedtime.

It was a full day of behind the scenes touring and interviewing earlier this summer, but Disney Planes is now in theaters (catch my full review!) and you can make sure to stay in flight with their newest video game offering. With the movie sure to impress the kids, you can keep the enjoyment going with Dusty’s high flying adventures as a racer.
