Hello and Happy Monday! I meant to check back in last week, but time got away from me and I am shocked that I am back here, 7 days later, writing another weekend recap post. This weekend was a whirlwind of fun, work, and exercise- my version of the perfect weekend. FRIDAY Friday started how […]
Weekend Shenanigans
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 […]
Busy Weekend
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 […]
Pre-Trip Weekend
Hey there friends! Happy Monday to you! I’m here writing to you after quickly making some bagels for a delivery this morning, while eating a bowl of banana oats and drinking a bit of coffee. I haven’t really been into coffee lately, which is strange because I’ve been so tired! I wanted to pop in […]
Hangin’ with Meaghan
In the 4.5 years that I have lived in Spain, I have had a lot of friends that come and go, but one of my very best friends is Meaghan- a girl that randomly invited me to her Thanksgiving dinner (without ever having met her… is that grammatically correct?) because she wanted to order pumpkin […]
5 Great Markets in Madrid
If you were to ask me to name a few things I LOVE about Madrid (or Spain, or Europe in general), I would definitely tell you that I LOVE the food markets in Madrid. They are something so incredibly special and unique to Spain that you just don’t see in other places, and I love […]
The Weekend
Hello, hello and Happy Tuesday! This past weekend was a good one… one where I didn’t really do too much, but it also felt busy. Next weekend, we have a fun TRIP planned! More to come! Thursday Let’s start with Thursday, since Thursday is my last day of class for the week. I had class, […]
The Weekend Before Christmas
Hey there friends! Happy Monday! Today feels like those warm, fuzzy Mondays where work doesn’t really matter because everyone is on holiday. I, personally, don’t celebrate Christmas itself, but I do enjoy the festivities that come along with the day and am looking forward to a nice dinner with Luis’ fam tonight. They always put […]
The Other Part of the Weekend
Besides Thanksgiving, the rest of the weekend was awesome too and I just wouldn’t be me if I didn’t provide you with an excessive number of unwanted details so…. here we go. Saturday After Friday’s Thanksgiving, the house resembled a tornado destruction scene, so Luis and I spent a good couple of hours throwing out trash, cleaning […]
Friday Five: 5 Restaurants to Try in Madrid
One of the best things about Madrid is the (seemingly) unending list of new places to try for drinks, dinner, merienda (snack), and more, and as soon as you try a new place, you catch a glimpse of another new place that opens and there it goes- added to the list of ‘places to try […]
