A bilingual blog for a binational family.
By the time we got to Memorial Day after that crazy wedding weekend, Javier and I were exhausted but we still wanted to kick off the summer with an inaugural barbecue in the backyard. I invited my parents and a few friends over and we brought out the horseshoe set for a friendly, hardly competitive few games […]
Puckett’s in Leiper’s Fork, TN is one of Leslie’s favorite places to play gigs. The people who run Puckett’s out there are so great and they have always been so easy to work with when it comes to booking, running sound, creating a great environment for a gig, etc.. Leiper’s Fork is such a beautiful […]
It’s here! It’s here! One year after Javier drew the last epic show flier for the last Christmas show at Puckett’s, here’s the new one for this year’s Christmas Show (also at Puckett’s)! It’s great being married to such a goofy, talented guy. So yes, consider this the official announcement for my next show with […]
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 […]
Whew – we’ve got a lot of ground to cover. Not only am I a more than a week late posting about the epic 30/60 party but we’ve also since taken a trip to Cinci, did an engagement photoshoot with Danielle and Chris and other little things in between (like Chupi turning 2!!). So, it’s […]
(check out Leslie’s new band Hickory Slims on facebook!) Long long ago (…2005) in a land flowing with whiskey and bluegrass harmonies, the band known as Angus Whyte and the Irish Rednecks worked tirelessly to entertain the masses with their cheeky antics and wildly entertaining tunes. Over the years band members came and went, but […]
Back in June we posted about our experience with NPR’s StoryCorps, which was subsequently featured on HispanicNashville.com. Shortly after we showed up on Hispanic Nashville, News Channel 5′s Que Pasa Nashville contacted us about doing a segment on the blog, featuring our trip to StoryCorps. Que Pasa Nashville is a half-hour program that features stories from […]
This past weekend was amazing in every way. On Thursday afternoon, once we finally corralled my parents out of the house, we took off for Chicago for the weekend. The drive was surprisingly short and we got up there in time to grab dinner with Ian and Andrea at a little Mexican restaurant 10 steps […]
Every 4 years there is an event that motivates dogs to run faster, jump higher, bark louder, and chew stronger, the Doglympics! This year, the games will be held in a dog park in London. With a landscape designed to demand the highest athletic performance from those participating, dogs all over the world are training […]
We love going grocery shopping at Trader Joes. We dont live close to it (we wish there was more than 1 in Nashville) but we still take our weekly trip to the store. One of the reasons we like shopping there is that from time to time they surprise us with an idea for a […]
