I made it back to the good ole USA late last night after over 14 hours of travel, a thorough security check (I was the last one on the plane and then entire plane had to wait 45 minutes for me!) and then it took over 3 hours to get home from the airport. I […]
There were times were I wasn’t sure if I would actually get to write this post. Applying for Spanish Citizenship due to Sephardic Origin is a long process, but I assume it is long in any country. There are a lot of steps, some exams, a decent amount of money, lots of waiting time, a bunch of […]
It’s no secret that around this time, you know- Christmas, New Year’s, time off from work and school, there is a lot of good and fun things- parties! dinners! friends! shopping! but so much of it can also leave me feeling sort of blah. Between all of the sweet treats, the endless cheese plates, large dinners, […]
Good morning! I hope you are all having a productive Thursday, but holding on for the weekend, which is coming in fast! This is one of those weeks that doesn’t feel so bad since the next few weeks are holidays and a lot of festive, fun plans are on the agenda. I always loved the […]
Lots of people (auxiliars, mostly), up and leave Madrid during December. They go home, or go travel because it’s one time during the year when we have a big block of time to see other places. I used to travel during this time, but in the last couple of years, I have stayed in Madrid […]

In the past, it has felt overwhelming, but this year, I am not actually working while trying to make a billion pies before and after work. Of course, I have offered to make more pies than last year, but it […]
Hey there, friends/ readers/ parents/ etc.! It’s been awhile because I was running around like a mad person last week, and this week too, if we are being honest. Monday I was running errands and buying pumpkin pie ingredients, Tuesday I was supposed to have an interview (which got moved) and Lee came over for […]
Hey there! It’s that time of week again, the time when everyone has a little more pep in their step and despite the pending colder weather, things feel happier and brighter… at least for me… because it’s FRIDAY! I do very much enjoy the weeks, but they are also so go-go-go that I end each […]
Hello, hello! I didn’t have much to write about yesterday, hence the collaborative post you saw. If you’re interested in a quick recap of my weekend, here it is: Friday, I had a tour with a lovely couple from South Carolina who had the most southern accents I have ever heard. They were so sweet […]
