On Deleting Instagram

bruja's bakery instagram

I did it… I finally did something I have been thinking about doing for a long time.  I deleted Instagram (not my account, just the app).  A couple of weeks ago, I was scrolling mindlessly (like I usually do) and just feeling jealous towards everyone at their pool parties, lake days, beach days, and just […]

10 Last Things

I am writing this as a shove a huge bowl of pasta salad into my face before I will be heading to the airport.  I’m taking 2 flights today- first Madrid to Barcelona and then Barcelona to New York and neither one of the airlines will be feeding me, so I am trying to stuff […]

Updates a Spoonful of TLC

Hey there!  I’m writing to you at 10 am on a cozy Saturday morning.  It’s cloudy and grey and there has been a POLAR VORTEX! So it’s like, 50 degrees and FREEZING!  I’ve been up since 7 am because I had to make bagels for Bite Me (the place that sells my bagels) and it […]

10 Things I Do to Streamline My Life

Hangin’ with Meaghan

Meghan in Madrid

In the 4.5 years that I have lived in Spain, I have had a lot of friends that come and go, but one of my very best friends is Meaghan- a girl that randomly invited me to her Thanksgiving dinner (without ever having met her… is that grammatically correct?) because she wanted to order pumpkin […]

El Viajero

HEY!  Long time, no talk, eh?!?  Sorry for the major disappearance there- I know you were all just so worried.  I won’t do it again 😉  Not even exaggerating that every day for the last 3 weeks has had “write blog” on my to-do list and there is a little unchecked box next to it on each […]

Friday Five: February 2018

Friday Five A Spoonful of TLC

Holy moly, does time fly or WHAT?  Here we are and it’s already Friday and I honestly don’t know where the week/ weeks have gone.  This week was a busy one – less so on the work front, but still busy.  Monday was a big catch-up day: e-mails, blog posts, bagel dough, class, etc.  Tuesday was […]
