Happy Friday! Time is just flyin’ on by here! I am really trying to soak up my time in the U.S., with my family and everything. It’s easy to keep thinking about “when I go back to Spain….”, etc., but I keep reminding myself to just be. here. now. (Happy, Dad???) Present or not, the […]

I Made Strawberry Jam.
