Ana Connery is the single mom of Javier, 6, master hide-and-seeker, lover of year-round costumes, budding DJ. She’s also Parenting’s content director, which keeps her on airplanes jetting to photo shoots, meetings and separate offices in New York and Florida. When she’s not working, she’s usually propping pillows or painting walls in her 1940 bungalow, “window-shopping” the toy aisles at Target, or burying Jav under sand at the beach, prompting a gaggle of giggles. After years of raising her son on her own, she’s now in a healthy, happy, TV commercial-worthy relationship with a cutie named Mark who talks about getting hitched almost daily. Her daydreams run the gamut from fruitful trips to Home Goods to planning a cool, never-been-done-like-this-before second wedding. Sneak a peek at her ride of a life (and find out what happens!) in her blog ‘Cause I Said So.
