Hello, hello! How we are about half way through January is absolutely beyond me! It was just November, and then it was Christmas and New Year’s and now it’s almost February!? What? Things have been going swimmingly around here, and it feels good to be home. I am actually writing this from my parent’s kitchen, […]
It’s been so long since I’ve given ya’ll a glimpse into one of my days. For whatever reason, these are the HARDEST posts for me to write, yet they are my favorite to read on other people’s blogs. Call me nosy, but I love seeing what normal days look like for other people, so in […]
Hello! From the USA and from my first snow day in three years! I surprised my parents last week, which was a last minute decision. I bought tickets to come home (for various reasons) and then didn’t tell my parents about it. I flew home, trained to our town, and walked home. They were in […]
The other day, while out on an absolutely FRIGID walk, I was listening to a podcasts talking about New Years resolutions and intentions. The podcast talked about the various personality types, according to Gretchin Rubin (writer of The Happiness Project).

Oh 2017, what a year you were! So many great and unexpected things happened. It was a year of a lot of love, a lot of growth, new opportunities, fun, adventure, loss, experience, and change. It was a good year, and looking back helps me see exactly how wonderful it was. I am confident that […]

I have now been to France 3 times (Paris, Lyon, and now a weekend in Toulouse and Bordeaux), and each time, I leave happy, full [of cheese] and planning my next trip. Toulouse and Bordeaux both blew me away, and […]
Luis has this affinity for buying way more yogurt than one should ever eat, which means he buys it, leaves it in my fridge, and then buys more…usually before I’ve even opened the last container. I do appreciate having a never ending supply of yogurt, but I can´t keep up. With an abundance of Greek […]
Hello and Happy Tuesday! I have the day off today due to students having exams, so I have some time to catch up on here! It’s been quite awhile, hasn’t it? Spain has lots of these random holidays throughout the year where schools, banks, government things are closed. Usually it’s for religious […]
Making: Greek-yogurt bread! It’s so easy and so good! Think soft, fluffy bread that’s only made with flour, yogurt, eggs, baking soda, and salt. I will post a recipe soon! Cooking: this winter, I have been loving this fall wheat berry salad by Kath Eats. Super easy to keep in the fridge and pull out for lunch. […]
Wow, this year’s Thanksgiving in Madrid was AMAZING! I had previously written that I was excited since it would be Luis’ first real Thanksgiving, but it was also the first time he really used his new apartment and it could have been the first time that things got badly stained, BUT- I am so happy […]
