SpanglishBaby has evolved into the fastest growing online community of parents raising bilingual and bicultural children.

We are Roxana and Ana Lilian, two Latina moms, journalists and TV producers raising bilingual (English/Spanish) children who, over a year ago, as our baby girls became toddlers, realized the lack of information available for parents raising bilingual + bicultural children. We decided to launch SpanglishBaby.

Our articles are organized into categories, making it simple to find the topic you´re interested in:

• Daily Learning: What our kids teach us everyday and what we learn through others on the same mission.

• Ask an Expert: Readers get their questions answered by a variety of experts.

• Must Reads: Informative posts about bilingualism and relevant topics.

• The Culture of Food: Recipes we find and share. Food brings us closer to our culture.

• Traditions + Culture: Ways of keeping our native traditions alive at home.

• Your Story: We invite you to share your family story with us. How are you doing it?

• ReadMe: A monthly exploration + giveaway of a children´s bilingual book and in-depth author interview.

• Directory: Comprehensive and searchable bilingual resources directory (currently a work-in-progress.)

• Forum: The place where our readers connect.

We also bring you SpanglishBabyFinds, a fun review and giveaway site for all mamis and papis raising bilingual niños. We truly believe in supporting Latinos or Latino-geared businesses, as well as products and services that promote bilingualism, showcasing our colorful and varied culture and heritage, but it’s important to note that we ONLY plan on reviewing products we like and believe you will find worth your hard-earned dinero.

We are also available for media inquiries and corporate consulting for our point of view and commentary as emerging parenting experts in the field of the daily challenges of raising bilingual + bicultural children. Feel free to contact us at any time: madre{at}SpanglishBaby.com
