A bilingual blog for a binational family.
We’re way behind in updates on our garden and our landscaping – but we’ll take care of that soon enough. This past weekend was the first weekend that we’ve both been free enough to clean the whole house, and it’s amazing how nice and clean it is!! We also took care of all the spring cleaning, […]
Wooooooo we have a picnic table! Since we moved in 2 years ago I’ve been toting a folding card table between the front porch (where it belongs) and the backyard (where I occasionally like to work) and now I can be as lazy as I damn well please because we bought a wood picnic table! […]
The backyard of Los Rodriguez mansion has many inhabitants. We know that Chupi and Chori always fight for the throne, but there are also many other creatures just trying to make a living out there. El patio de la Mansion Rodriguez tiene mucho habitantes. Sabemos que Chupi y Chori siempre pelean por el trono, pero […]
Our porch is, in my opinion, one of the best parts of our house and Javi and I spend as much time as we can out there. It’s also the home to the Porch Practice Sessions for Hickory Slims, so I spend quite a bit of time on that little slab of concrete in front […]

They love Halloween and at that point we hadn’t even thought about decorating our house. It’s not that we don’t like Halloween but we didn’t want to pay full in-season prices for Halloween decor (as Dani said: […]
Last week in the mail Javi and I got a really cool gift from my uncle Warren. Warren is a high school chemistry and earth sciences teacher and has been collecting rocks, minerals, fossils, sharks teeth – you name it – for as long as I can remember. His collection is AMAZING and he’s won […]
The garden is growing and starting to yield some tasty veggies for us. There’s nothing big yet but at least we have started to see growth and fruits. I was worried about one of our beds since it seemed like the plants did not want to grow there, but now everything is getting big and […]
The garden is looking great and we are really excited to see that most of the plants that we started from seed (corn, sunflowers, and radishes) are growing and growing FAST! I realized that I overwatered some plants, which resulted in a powdery mildew attack on the squash! AHHHHHHH!!! La huerta se ve genial y […]
To continue with the gardening theme (see previous posts on starting the garden here and what we planted here), one evening last week we saw a tower of seeds at the grocery store and decided to try growing a few plants from scratch. All of the rest of the plants we have were already in […]
Leslie and I want to grow so many things in our garden but since we are rookies we decided to go for some of the “easier” things to grow this season. Once we get some experience, we will diversify our produce portfolio! So here our list of plants: Leslie y yo queremos plantar tantas cosas […]
