3 New Things

New in Madrid

Hello, hello!  Wow, what a crazy last few days it’s been!  There has been so much going on in-between juggling VIPKID, Bruja’s Bakery, food tours, and more, that I’ve felt like a chicken with my head cut off.  I was able to get a few posts up in the last few days, but that’s only […]

What to Look for When Finding an Apartment in Madrid

Finding an Apartment in Madrid

Finding an apartment in Madrid can be one of the biggest headaches when you first arrive here.  Not only is everyone AND their mother also looking for an apartment at the same time (putting you into a cut-throat competition…don’t be surprised if you get asked back for a second interview.  Cut throat, people!), but there […]

Bagels, Beer, Dancing, and More

Bruja's Bakery bagel

Wow, what a weekend!  I know I am writing this on Tuesday, but I just couldn’t get it together yesterday to write so here I am, sharing a day late.  Anyway, hello friends!  How was your weekend?  It’s weirdly cold here in a Madrid (WHYYYYY!!!!), but I still had a super good weekend.  Lots of […]

Memorial Day Weekend in Madrid

Hello friends!  Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you had a nice Memorial Day weekend with family and friends, and I hope you were able to eat copious amounts of hamburgers, hotdogs and grilled corn.  I, on the other hand, didn’t really do anything to celebrate Memorial Day in Madrid… except host a Memorial Day […]

Mom in Madrid

Hello!  I have been trying to jump on here, but things have been busy with my Mama here in Madrid!  It has been so, so good having my mom here- I love having someone so special to eat with, hang out with, and…sleep on the floor next to (haahaha…).  It makes me sad to think […]

Hello, hello!  Happy, happy Tuesday!  (But not really…is it just me or is this week DRAGGING?  It should be at least Thursday by now!).  But anyway, enough about the week and let’s back up to the weekend.  This weekend was strange in that I spent a lot of it alone, but I also did a […]

Restaurants in Madrid: NAP Madrid (Pizza) (10/10)

NAP Pizza Madrid

I have a love/ hate relationship with pizza.  I LOVE good pizza- thin crust, fresh cheese, smooth sauce (and not too sweet), and good price.  So where is the hate part?  Before last weekend, I had yet to try good pizza in Madrid.  The pizza usually has thick crust, strange toppings (tuna? corn? Why, Madrid, […]

The Weekend and Other Days.

Hello!  I hope you are all feeling well-rested after the weekend.  I didn’t mean to up and disappear like I have for the last 1.5 weeks.  Everyday, I have ´blog´on my to-do list and every day, my to-do list gets away from me.  Things have really, really been picking up in the Bagel and tour […]

A Really Great Hump Day

Good morning and Happy THURSDAY!  Wow, this week has just flown by (love when that happens!).  I wanted to pop in and share a little about my day yesterday (Wednesday a.k.a Hump Day!) since it was a good day.  I guess it was probably such a good day because I worked for….2 hours, but hey, […]

Running Weekend.

Hello, hello!  I’m finally getting on here to recap the weekend on Tuesday!  Time moves too quickly and both yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday) have been flying be without much of a breather in sight.  I might be retired (lol) but I am still quite busy with my retiree activities.  Luckily, the weekend was super […]
