Good morning! I am typing this post on Christmas Day, while my parents are napping since they traveled all night. I was late picking them up to the airport since every piece of technology I own failed me, but alas, they are here in one piece and were only a little bit angry. I, on […]
5 Things to Do Over Christmas Break.

Friday Morning House Tour.
Good morning and Happy Friday to ya! For me, Friday is not only, well, FRIDAY, but it’s my day off during the week (plus Saturday and Sunday…) so this morning, I woke up (almost on my own…I was semi-awake when the alarm went off) after sleeping like a newborn last night. I honestly have no […]
Lately in Spain.

Random Madrid Musings
Good Morning (if you’re in the US) and Good Afternoon (if you’re in Madrid!), I’m taking a little break from piso-hunting to chat about nothing really.
