A Quick Trip to Sierra Nevada

Luis and I usually have our weekends wide open (besides work) and that was the case last week when my friend Emma wrote to me asking if we would like to join her + boyfriend at their place for the weekend in Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada is a 5+ hour drive from Madrid so normally […]

Pictures of People

I had a special request to update here once in awhile and while I am sitting here at Mazál II waiting for an event to start in 30 minutes, I figure I can just update with some pictures of people. If it’s not pictures of people, it’s pictures of food and bagels and broken stuff […]

A Four Day Jaunt in Tel Aviv

I may or may not had to look up the word ‘jaunt’ to make sure I hadn’t invented it out of nowhere. I’m writing this post from Malaga, drinking a coffee and generally hiding out from the mega clean up that is happening due to an ant infestation in the kitchen. Luis’ Mom is on […]

Other Lately

I wrote one post and now I feel the “writer’s high”. Oh wait, that’s not a thing, it’s runner’s high. As soon as I get this posted I will go out to get high that way. I feel like so much of my life is consumed by Mazál, but not just consumed by Mazál but […]

A Week With Cousins and Bro in Madrid

lunch at Mazál

Well hello there, happy Saturday! I am usually able to sleep 12-13 hours over the weekend and then wake up feeling like garbage because I overslept so this morning when I naturally woke up at 8:30, I washed my face with cold water and then walked as far away from the bed as possible. I’m […]

Not Falling Off the Bandwagon

It’s a slippery slope to stop posting. A few days quickly turns into a few weeks and then the idea of posting anything seems so insurmountable that I just don’t post anything. Then those weeks turn into months…. So here we are. I am writing from “my office”. It’s 1:48pm on Monday March 13th and […]

Cakes, Bagels & Painting

This weekend was a really great one! I worked a lot, but I also did a lot of fun things that made it feel like balance. That feels like everyones word of the year…the elusive balance. Here are some pretty cakes that have nothing to do with this post, but they are pretty and I […]

Pictures to Tell a Story

At the new Mazál (or Mazál 2, as we call it), we have this biiiiig green wall that has some night lamps, but nothing else on it. At one point it was going to be wall-papered, then it was to be tiled, then it was to be painted with this weird paint, then we just […]

Ski Town

That title makes it sound like I spent the weekend skiing but alas, I did not. I did however, spend Saturday in a little ski town about 45 minutes from Madrid (Navacerrada) where we ate and drank and looked at the mountain and got as about as close to actual skiing as I like. 😉 […]
