More appropriately titled: Carnaval in Cadiz, Take Two, because you accidentally deleted your entire blog and take one went down the drain. BUT, for SEO purposes…let’s leave what you see up there!

Five Things That Are Making Me Happy Right Now.
Good morning and happy FRIDAY! To say that I am happy that today is Friday would be a complete understatement. I am over-the-moon 2x happy that today is Friday. To be honest, I was in some kind a weird funk this whole week, which left me feeling off…not happy. I spent the week in a […]
