I hate you mosquitoes! – Part I
We wouldn’t be living in the South if we didn’t sit on the front porch in the evening, and we wouldn’t be in the south if we didn’t get eaten alive by mosquitoes every evening we sit on the front porch. We decided we’ve had enough….those little bastards will not stop us from enjoying the…

Saturday fun day – Disfrutando el Sabado libre!
After several weekends having to either work or attend weddings we had a weekend to do whatever we wanted! That’s not to say that we don’t enjoy weddings, but some free time is always nice to enjoy. We had an awesome deal from LivingSocial – 2 tickets to any 3D movie for $4….yeah not bad…

Hot Dogs! – Completos!
I was watching the history channel a few days ago, the show was about the history of hot dogs and how this food has become a icon of American food. Well….I could not resist eating hot dogs for dinner that day after hearing and seeing so much about them. Viendo el History Channel unos dias…

The latest design – El ultimo diseno!!
Last year we came up with the idea of creating a brand for t-shirts – it would be something fun to work on, a way to make something with my art and maybe make some money off of it and an outlet for creative impulses. After some thought and a couple of different ideas we…

LRL (green) Cribs!
Welcome to this episode of LRL (los Rodriguez life) Cribs! Nashville weather can hit extremes during summer and winter, so our superstars Chupete and Choripan needed a place to protect them from the elements (they really don’t spend that much time outside but they needed to be homeowners just in case). So I decided to…

The Village Pub #2
When we moved to our new home we really had no idea that we were actually going to discover a gold mine of delicious places to eat, shop and hang out…just a few blocks away! Asian food, coffee, ice cream, sandwiches, pizza, BBQ, beer, etc… all of this is available to us in a very…

A Choripan loose in the park!! – Un Choripan suelto en el parque!!!
We have been waiting for a long time to take Choripan to the dog park and see him making friends! So finally the day came, he has all his vaccines, we had some extra time during the week, and the weather was very pleasant after the rain. We knew he would have a lot of…

Chupete graduates! – Chupete se graduo!
Chupete graduated!! We are so proud of him! especially because this class was a huge challenge to his curious nature. For his beginner class he was the only dog enrolled, which was a huge help for him (and us) because it let our trainer focus on him and his puppy issues (he really needed attention,…

My art and Chupete shirts!
Since I was a kid I had a special interest in art. I wasn’t the “Mom! Mom! I want to go to the museum and look paintings and statues” kind of kid, more like “Mom! Mom! do you have a pen and a piece of paper I can use to draw?” kind of kid. I…

Would you rather….(Nashville heat wave edition!) – Que prefieres?
After last winter in Nashville with lots of snow and cold weather and now with the current heat wave, Leslie and I cannot agree about our preferred extreme weather. Leslie prefers the cold, her argument being “there’s only so many layers you can take off but you can always add on in the winter!” I…

My inaugural post…and the Rodriguez/McClure Sunday
Between my facebook profile, facebook photography page, photography website, photography blog and twitter and linked in accounts, I think it’s safe to say that I’m fairly connected, or shackled to, many frontiers of the interweb. So last week when Javi decided to start a family blog on the same day that I got a google+…

The blank electric panel – Panel electrico en blanco
Our backyard has one outdoor light with a mind of its own. Before I (finally) fixed it, it would turn on at the most ridiculous times and of course it refused to work when we needed it. We finally decided to suck it up and get a new light fixture and figure out how to…

Buy local, its better for YOU! (and the world)
We would like to introduce you guys to Emerald Glen Farms! (Check out their Facebook page, they are awesome!) They sell the best meat we have ever tasted (In the US). Their products are all natural (yeah not all meat products are all natural), organic (not all meat products are organic), coming from grass fed…

Jello and Flan! – Jalea y Flan!
There are two desserts that always remind me of home, a big bowl of jello and flan (not together….butmaybe i just got a cool idea). I bet you are now thinking, “jello? That reminds me of the times I was sick, that is sick-times-food” (this is Leslie’s usual response). Well for me it is summer-time-its-so-hot-outside-that-im-melting-and-I-need-something-refreshing-and-sweet…

Ice Maker!
When we were shopping for appliances, the main request Leslie had regarding our fridge was an automatic ice maker. She loves her ice – she can’t live without it (she is so gringa! hahaha). So when we got our fridge with ice maker we thought they would install it for us – so dumb, of…

Los Rodriguez mansion!
For those who are thinking about buying a home here is our advice: 1) Find a realtor. Let a professional guide you through the process, it is easier and it will save you money and sleep. (Let us know if you would like the contact info for our realtor) 2) Be realistic. Plan on buying something…

Los Rodriguez
Los Rodriguez – Javier and Leslie. That’s almost all you need to know for now. I’m gonna try to keep our story short, mainly because we will be sharing details of our lives in future posts and because we love to answer questions. This is pretty much the nature of things: Voy a intentar mantener…

The older Rodriguez – Chupete
Our eldest son/dog is a 9 months old 50lb. Lab/Beagle/Heeler mix named Chupete. We had his named picked before he was even born. As a soccer fanatic I couldn’t wait to have a dog and name him after my favorite player Humberto “Chupete” Suazo. Chupete actually means lolly-pop in Chile so some people can find…
