A bilingual blog for a binational family.
When we moved into our house, we quickly learned from the neighbors that the previous owner had the most beautiful yard in the street (key word HAD). We had never taken care of a yard before, so the idea of keeping up with it was a little daunting. We had other priorities in mind: fence, […]
The growing season continues at Los Rodriguez mansion. The little birds are getting some feathers and they are eating away! Those parents must be working around the clock to get enough worms for these hungry little fellas. La temporada de crecimiento continua en la Mansion Rodriguez. Los pajaritos estan creciendo plumas y comen como locos! […]
My spring cleaning desperation got the best of me this weekend. Every spring my summer clothes start piling up on the floor, on furniture and on pretty much every surface where they don’t belong.

Here are a few more details about the work we put into this little cozy corner of the house.My original inspiration for the dark blue color came from a Valspar historic colors brochure Javi and I got […]
One of our little decorating projects that we did along with the painting before Javier’s family arrived was putting up photos on the walls. If you can remember how our living room was before the transformation (what a nightmare…), we had zero decorations on the walls. After we painted everything looked much better, but the walls […]
I feel like I’m sitting in a totally different house right now – Javi and I painted our living / dining room!! We started on our anniversary (so romantic…try not to be too jealous of our pizza and beer anniversary dinner) and finished yesterday, just in time for Javier’s parents to arrive. I’m so happy […]
