Hello from the other side of the weekend! (How and why? I may never understand the speed at which the weekend moves. It’s unbelievable.) Also, how is it ALREADY May (well, soon)? When did this happen?! Anyways, I had a really good weekend so I wanted to share some of it with ya’ll and hope […]
Hello! Happy Wednesday! I’m lucky enough to be writing to you from sunny Florida, where I’ve been for just over a week. The reason for this little getaway is that my second cousin, Hayden, had his Bar Mitzvah, so we made this the Florida Bar Mitzvah trip! Never heard of a Bar Mitzvah? Here is […]
Hello friends! Happy Monday! I am coming back from an awesome quick weekend in Valle del Jerte (Extremadura) where I spent two days eating, hiking, drinking, relaxing, and laughing. My friend (and neighbor), Cristina invited Luis and me to join a trip to Valle del Jerte, where there was supposed to be an incredible blooming of […]
Hello, hello! I’m finally getting on here to recap the weekend on Tuesday! Time moves too quickly and both yesterday (Monday) and today (Tuesday) have been flying be without much of a breather in sight. I might be retired (lol) but I am still quite busy with my retiree activities. Luckily, the weekend was super […]
Hi friends! I hope you’re visiting the blog relaxed and rejuvenated after a great weekend! My weekend was superb- lots of friend time, events, etc. From Friday to Sunday, it felt like a go-go-go weekend, but it was the best kind of busy. On Friday, as soon as I hit submit on my last class […]

I am writing this post after a lovely relaxing weekend and as I write it, the snow is coming down incredibly hard. It’s not really sticking much, but it’s […]
It’s been so long since I’ve given ya’ll a glimpse into one of my days. For whatever reason, these are the HARDEST posts for me to write, yet they are my favorite to read on other people’s blogs. Call me nosy, but I love seeing what normal days look like for other people, so in […]
I’ve officially decided the France is my spirit country…like you’re spirit animal, but it’s my country. I have now been to France 3 times (Paris, Lyon, and now a weekend in Toulouse and Bordeaux), and each time, I leave happy, full [of cheese] and planning my next trip. Toulouse and Bordeaux both blew me away, and […]
Ah, what a life I have to be able to spend 48 hours in Porto, Portugal. Just a quick hop, skip and jump from Spain, it’s the perfect weekend travel destination. There were some inexpensive flights available, so we jumped on it and went! These 48 hours in Porto, Portugal were my second trip […]
Another awesome awesome weekend! Madrid is at its peak cold time- late October when the days are crisp and it’s always bright and sunny. Perfect for eating on sunny terraces, going to runs, and seeing some sheep 😉 Just looking back on the pictures makes me happy! Thursday night, Luis and I went […]
