Not Falling Off the Bandwagon

It’s a slippery slope to stop posting. A few days quickly turns into a few weeks and then the idea of posting anything seems so insurmountable that I just don’t post anything. Then those weeks turn into months…. So here we are. I am writing from “my office”. It’s 1:48pm on Monday March 13th and […]

Cakes, Bagels & Painting

This weekend was a really great one! I worked a lot, but I also did a lot of fun things that made it feel like balance. That feels like everyones word of the year…the elusive balance. Here are some pretty cakes that have nothing to do with this post, but they are pretty and I […]

Pictures to Tell a Story

At the new Mazál (or Mazál 2, as we call it), we have this biiiiig green wall that has some night lamps, but nothing else on it. At one point it was going to be wall-papered, then it was to be tiled, then it was to be painted with this weird paint, then we just […]

Ski Town

That title makes it sound like I spent the weekend skiing but alas, I did not. I did however, spend Saturday in a little ski town about 45 minutes from Madrid (Navacerrada) where we ate and drank and looked at the mountain and got as about as close to actual skiing as I like. 😉 […]

A Weekend in February

Hello there kind people of the internet! I am writing to you live from my little windowless office. It’s Monday afternoon and I didn’t work from the office on Friday (I was at the bakery, helping them prep for the weekend – we rolled over 700 bagels!). We are officially looking at fancy schmancy bagel […]

Bagels at the Beach

It’s the last day of August so it’s a great day to write a short recap of our yearly trip to the beach before fall sweeps in and the time in the sun and sand becomes a far off memory. I’m not going to lie – I am extremely ready for fall and everything that […]

Going to try to get back into this

I was just poking around my Google photos trying to find pictures from past trips and was thrilled to find exactly what I was looking for and then double thrilled to see I had written a post about that very trip with details about where we stayed, where we ate, what we did. Life happens […]

Close Call

Maybe somewhere out in the ether checked this blog in the last week or so and found that it (almost) no longer existed. I got an email about 2 months ago that it would be renewing soon, but have recently thought about just letting it go. Maybe not letting it go 100%, but letting go […]

Buenas

I disappear for months at a time and then catch you off guard and come back to say hello. I guess you could call that my MO? I got an email that my domain would be auto renewed in about 50 days and I am tempted to just let it go. Actually, that’s a lie..I […]

Hello

Hello there scarce readers out there and billions of spam bots trolling this website, it’s nice to be back here again. I think about writing here often, but then I don’t….so much time has passed so I feel all this pressure to go back to where I left off and that task feels insurmountable, so […]
