A bilingual blog for a binational family.
So now that we’ve seen the Nutcracker and watched a few Christmas movies, Javi and I are feeling properly Christmasy and into the season. We decorated the house the week after Thanksgiving this year, but I haven’t had a chance to thoroughly clean the house yet to take photos. Most of our decorations are much […]
It’s taken me a few extra weeks to get into the “Christmas spirit” (last year I had my decorations up by the second week of November!) but if I was still not into it by the beginning of this weekend, I’m definitely feeling it now! We had two holiday gatherings this weekend and - my all time […]
As you might have noticed from our posts over the past week, we were nominated for Best Bilingual Blogger at the LATISM 2012 Conference. Houston hosted the conference this year and the conference featured many popular Latino/a bloggers. We couldn’t be there this year but we hope to join in the fun at future conferences. […]
Growing up with Melissa as an aunt was a blast for me and my cousin Heather. Melissa loved to play dress up with us and let us raid her collection of awesome vintage outfits (of course to us at the time “vintage” wasn’t even on our radar; we just wanted to look like princesses, obviously). […]
I can’t remember the exact time that the idea of a photo booth caught Leslie’s attention – but she loves photo booths now! It might have been at our friend Robyn’s wedding – I think that was the first wedding photobooth we experienced. We have been to several events with different kinds of photo booths […]
Javier and I are now sustaining members of our local NPR member station, WPLN Nashville Public Radio. After listening through several pledge seasons on NPR without ever actually donating, we decided it was time to make up for lost pledge opportunities and make a pledge for monthly withdrawals in 2012. Javi and I prefer to […]
Last Sunday night I had the privilege and pleasure to get up on stage with some of the most jaw-dropping musicians in Nashville to sing some backup on a song called Redeemed. The song is on the soundtrack for the new movie Deadline that just premiered in Nashville on Wednesday and is in theaters now […]
The new Chupete shirts are here! This time we brought back our first design, the Nashville edition, and came up with a new Louisville edition. Both of these places have had a big impact in our lives and we love to finally have our shirts to represent! Las nuevas poleras Chupete están aquí! Esta vez reproducimos el […]
Our house has literally turned into a knitting / crocheting factory – Paula has been working like a madwoman on her neck warmers that she is selling ($20 for adult size, $15 for kid size), her mom started up another crocheting project for me and Javier and Cora and I joined the fun and bought […]
Normally I don’t think I’d spend a whole post talking about what I got for Christmas, but this year was extra special. I can’t believe the number of handmade and thoughtful gifts we unwrapped yesterday! Last night when we finally got back to our house after spending Christmas at my parents’ house we spread everything […]
