{Photo credit IMDb}The quick synopsis of Spanglish goes like this...
a breathtaking Hispanic nanny moves in with an all-American family and
the cultural struggles that unfold when her daughter comes to live with them too.
It' s really so much more than that though,
there's a bit of romance but what I like about it
is the way that the characters relate to one another.
It's a complex tale that delves into
family dynamics, parenting, marriage, and love.
Every time my husband and I watch it,
one of us will say-
"This movie is really good."
Why not invite a little romance into your life?

Peach and brie? What an interesting combo!
And I loved Spanglish. Loved it!
=)
You guys have such sophisticated taste. The most adventurous thing we eat is usually adding mushrooms to our pizza.
Leigh--another awesome night! The food looks AWESOME.
We love Spanglish too. The ending always makes me cry. It nails many aspects of latin american culture and american culture...it would be a great film for a sociology class to explore more! but i always love the scene at the end (i think) where the "nanny" (was her name Flora?) tells her daughter something like "there is no space between you and me!" i love this and it's so something i would say to my girls! :))
YUM!
OMG I love that recipe for the quesadilla. And this graphic for date night? Totally cute. I'm glad to see other couples have a date night, I'll add mine soon!
Hi there, I actually got a post in. My friend was really happy to, the picture of her pup out at the restaurant turned out great.

Have you ever watched the movie 'The mirror has two faces'? Barbara Streisand starred in it, along side Jeff Bridges. It's hysterically funny, a wonderful romance, and quite a thought provoker. But most definitely - a date movie!
