Checking In VIII.
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!

Thanksgiving in Madrid and Being Thankful
When you live abroad, people always ask: “but don’t you miss home, don’t you miss your family?”. And the answer is always the same: do I miss the United States? Not particularly. But do I miss the comfort of ‘home’ and the warmth that comes with that word? yes. And of course I miss my […]

Dry summers with hardly any clouds ever, low rainfall, not super cold in the winter. It’s a decent situation, but one […]

I’ve officially been back in Madrid for a week now, and despite some back-and-forth feelings, I’m definitely happy to be back. There are some things I wish I could write about, but due to the nature of certain people reading my blog, I cannot write about everything I want to. Instead, I’ll share some photos […]
Thoughts on Coming Back to Spain for a Third Year
