A bilingual blog for a binational family.
It’s been awhile since we gave you all a garden update. Soon we will also write an update on the landscape and the flowerbed, but for now this is what we have going on in the veggie garden: Hace tiempo que no actualizamos a todos en como va la huerta. Pronto tambien haremos una actualizacion […]
You may have noticed that the posts are here are fewer and farther between, which can only mean one thing: the end of the semester is here! And we’re swamped! COMPLETELY SWAMPED. I just finished my first of two comprehensive exams this week (!!!) and the little spare time that Javi and I had last week was […]
Well, I’m pretty sure I’m all traveled out for the month of April! Javier and I just returned with my parents from a long drive home from Destin, where my cousin Andrew married his lovely new wife Camala. My parents and I drove down to Destin on Wednesday, stopping overnight in Birmingham and arriving in […]
It’s Danielle’s wedding week!!! I feel like I’ve been waiting for this wedding for almost a decade! As soon as Danielle and Chris started dating back in 2004, everyone knew that that was it for those two. They make such a great couple and Chris immediately fell in with our group of friends like he […]
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! […]

El patio de la Mansion Rodriguez tiene mucho habitantes. Sabemos que Chupi y Chori siempre pelean por el trono, pero […]
We had the best weather yet this year this past weekend – it was beautiful! On Saturday Javi and I decided to take advantage of the warm temps and cool breeze with a trip east near Cookeville to do some hiking with the doggos. It was a perfect day – sunny but not too hot […]
A couple of weekends ago the NYC hip hop artist, stellar educator and good friend Ian Willey (I.C. Will) came back to town to my dad’s studio to do some recording for his new album. He’s hoping to release the album by this August and it’s by far my favorite yet! He came up with […]
It may have snowed over the weekend (and last night apparently in some parts of middle TN) but we’ve been seeing signs of spring all around our house and neighborhood and it makes us so excited. The first to come up are the daffodils lining the boundaries of all the yards in South Inglewood. Unfortunately […]
It has been about 3 weeks since we sowed the first seeds in our raised beds that we covered with the cold frames. As we mentioned in a previous post, this round of sowing was an experiment since it was way too early to sow anything without the frames. We were hoping for the best […]
