Hey there, friends! And Dad – my most loyal reader! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve sat down here, or at least it feels that way, but looking back, it’s only been a week! I guess I’ve missed writing here and I feel like I have so much to catch up on, but there […]
Holy moly, does time fly or WHAT? Here we are and it’s already Friday and I honestly don’t know where the week/ weeks have gone. This week was a busy one – less so on the work front, but still busy. Monday was a big catch-up day: e-mails, blog posts, bagel dough, class, etc. Tuesday was […]

**Not customs at the airport! Not aduanas. Hi!!! I am so happy it’s Friday! Actually, in general, I am just so happy. This week was really, really, really, really, (really) good!
