It has officially been two months since I started “really” budgeting. Back in August, I wrote a post talking about budgeting and I mentioned a few of the budgeting options that are out there. I mentioned YNAB, Mint, Wallet, EveryDollar, and HoneyFi and at the time of writing the post, I was working my way […]
Sometimes dinner ideas come easily, and other times I need a bit of inspiration. Inspiration is exactly what I found when I was browsing Hungry Hungry Hippie and saw this beautiful fall butternut squash salad. She eats a lot of butternut squash salads, but this one really called to me and I knew I was […]
Good morning and Happy Monday! Like I said last week, it’s either Monday or it’s the weekend. There just doesn’t seem to be any in between. With the blink of an eye, another weekend is in the books and today is Monday. It’s been a fairly productive Monday so far- I worked on a blog […]
Hello and Happy Friday, from Madrid, Spain! If you’re new around here, I write these Checking In posts just to fill in some random tidbits of information. I have been writing these types of posts for over 3 years and I love looking back on them! The above photo was my breakfast for the last […]

Last week was one of the busiest weeks that Luis and I have had in a long time. Actually, I take that back- we ALWAYS have busy weeks in terms of amount of work and amount of time out of the house, but last week was busy not only in terms of workload, but also […]
Every day I go through this cycle of racking my brain trying to think about what to make for dinner. I like to cook and I like to follow recipes, but there are so many recipes out there and sometimes I feel like I have so little time that the idea of following a recipe […]
Wow, it has been 2.5 months since I have spent a weekend in Madrid….2.5 MONTHS! That is almost a quarter of a year! With so much traveling, I have been in and out of Madrid all summer and for the last few weeks, so this was the first weekend where I was in Madrid and […]
