A bilingual blog for a binational family.
Since we started our garden we have been looking for ways to use resources that we normally just discard. We installed a rain barrel, which has provided most of the water for our plants and vegetable garden. We also started a compost bin, and it has been more of a challenge than expected. The idea […]
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 […]
As a birthday present from my family I got some money to use for anything I wanted. The only condition was that I had to use it for something fun, not for paying bills or to put into savings (which they know I tend to do). My first thought was to maybe use it towards […]
Well, we finished P90X! It’s a little anti-climactic on the blog, since we aren’t posting before / after pics to prove that we had results. But really, and this is the third time (I think) that I’ve mentioned this in a post, we would not have gone the whole 90 days if we weren’t seeing […]
This garden of ours is Javier’s baby – he dreamed it up, build the beds, fenced them in with chicken wire (which I now know is really hard to do alone!), bought the plants and researched the soil etc. etc. and did it all on his own. The only part of this that I can […]
Who else besides me divides the hours of weekdays into favorite / least favorite times of day? I can’t be the only one right? On the average day, when nothing extraordinary is going on, my favorite / least favorite hours of the day go like this: Quien mas aparte de mi divide las horas de […]
Javi and I have been in our lovely little house in South Inglewood, East Nashville for a year! We closed on the house last April 1 and moved in little by little over the next month. A week after we signed on the house Javi and I drove down to visit my aunt Jane and […]
Since I posted about the signs of spring popping up all over our yard, we’ve had a variety of plants and flowers sprout and bloom everywhere. The woman who used to live in our house was an avid gardener and luckily for us she planted flowers that don’t need any upkeep or attention from us. […]
Since posting this we also completed P90X Phase II as well! Check it out! Lately we’ve been super busy with school, work, working out and house stuff (nothing exciting – just cleaning, yard work, a couple of small repairs)…which is why our posts are fewer and farther between on the blog. We have had a […]
Okay, so yesterday Leslie posted her list of 5 things she’s learned since starting P90Xand the diet that goes with it. Just because we are doing the same diet doesn’t mean the experience is the same for both of us. She’s interested in losing weight, I’m interested in gaining. That makes the diet and exercise […]
