SpanglishLife on Flipboard Latino (and how you can get your own bilingual magazine!)

SpanglishLife Ana Flores Flipboard Latino

I’ve found a new way to procrastinate while I create! Well, I’ve actually been a Flipboard user since 2010 when I got my first iPad (that I gave to my husband!) and it was one of the first apps he discovered and we obsessed about. I just loved how easy it was to get lost […]

Time to Grow: #WeAllGrow Summit

#WeAllGrow Summit, by Latina Bloggers Connect

Amigas, I really should have shared this here last week, but that’s how crazy this vida has been the last few days with a move to a new house to the other side of the city (which is like moving to another planet), no power for three days, no wifi for four, and the regular […]

How We Glow at Mom 2.0 Summit and Iris Awards

May 22, 2014 4 Comments

I love the word “glow.” And its definition per Merriam-Webster of “warmth or feeling of emotion” perfectly describes the sensations you experience at a Mom 2.0 Summit. That glow was intensified this year with the first Iris Awards, celebrating the best in the parent blogging community. This year in Atlanta was my third time going […]

How I Got Over My (Stupid) Fear of Celebrating Mi Cumpleaños

May 13, 2014 7 Comments

It has taken me 42 years — sí, ¡cuarenta y dos! — to finally get over my ridiculous fear of celebrating my birthday. Of course I love to celebrate my birthday and feel the love, but I detest having to organize it, come up with a fun and original plan and then go through the […]

#LaInstaVida: Frida, Aztecs, Malibu y la Abuelita

March 23, 2014 3 Comments

Me doy vergüenza a mi misma! I was supposed to be taking better care of this dear blog here — at least those were my deepest intentions. I won’t slap my own hand or give you a post full of regrets of what I wanted to do but haven’t done because it’s so not my […]

Diego Luna on Why ‘Cesar Chavez’ Matters to Latinos on Either Side of the Border

Diego Luna -- Cesar Chavez Film

When I moved back to the U.S. in 2005 after having lived in Mexico for seven years, I could not shake the feeling that one of the reasons I had to come back was to somehow create a bridge, a connection of sorts, between Mexico and the U.S. I knew that those years in Mexico […]

Up Close and Personal with ‘The LEGO Movie’ — It’s Awesome {Video}

February 4, 2014 Leave a Comment

I seriously was supposed to publish this last week y tenía todas las buenas intenciones de hacerlo, but it was exhausting to be in the sick house with my girl who was out bad with a virus for the full week. At least, she had the awesome memories from the weekend at Legoland for The LEGO […]

#ThrowbackThursday: Retro Selfies

January 9, 2014 3 Comments

My husband’s the photographer in the family, but none of his fancy pictures ever beat his selfies. I use the term broadly here because it’s not like he’s taken pictures of himself, he’s just always liked to take group pictures in the same fashion you take a selfie, and somehow he always gets them right. […]

Q&A A Day

January 7, 2014 10 Comments

One of the practices I miss the most that I’ve been neglecting is writing in my journal. I used to be obsessed about it and it did me so much good. It’s a way to liberate thoughts, emotions, just sort out the stuff that invades our brain and our soul every day. I love just […]

#ThrowbackThursday — Tulum

January 2, 2014 6 Comments

That was me only eight years ago, but it seems so far away. Tulum, in the Mexican Riviera Maya, is my favorite place of the Madre Tierra I know. It’s my sacred place. It’s the place I think about and get a sudden and sharp pain in my gut de la añoranza de querer estar […]

Pinning la Vida

     NYT Cooking: On the hottest summer days, this is the dish to make because it requires zero cooking. A quick marinade of lemon juice, seaweed and fresh vegetables sets up a flavorful, no-fuss ceviche that tastes like the sea despite having no seafood in it. Store-bought minced or “riced” cauliflower won’t work for this dish. You have to start by grating or mincing a fresh whole head of cauliflower — that ext...
