Staying Sane while Social Distancing: Rainbow Scavenger Hunt
I saw this idea in a mom group I’m in on Facebook (shoutout to my pretty good moms!) and I absolutely love it so I wanted to spread it as far and wide as I can. Post the idea in your neighborhood groups and on NextDoor and start some local scavenger hunts! Here’s the gist…

Back home for the weekend
I’ve been in recovery mode all weekend. I arrived home Thursday night from a 10-day stretch of tour life with Humming House and I’ve been soaking up the last few days at home before going back out again for another week (or so). For the past 10 days our route looked like this: TN–>PA–>NYC–>PA–>MA–>WV–>IL–>MO–>TN. As…

LRL out to the ballgame!
Summertime for us means a number of things: gardening, heat, porch time, pool time, summer shandy, grilling out, gardening…but rarely does summertime mean baseball in this household. Javier isn’t a huge fan of the sport and I’m not a big enough fan to push the issue of going to the ballpark from time to time,…

The Ryman!
So getting back to our lovely weekend with my aunt Jane and uncle Bruce – the night after we went to the symphony we went out downtown to hear a very different kind of music in a very different but equally wonderful venue – songwriters at the Ryman! The Ryman put on a special night…

Memorial Day cookout
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…

Post-Christmas show at Puckett’s
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…

Epic Show Flier v 2.0
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…

Friends, food and the Nutcracker
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…

The 30/60 Party!!
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…

Hickory Slims!
(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…

Los Rodriguez Life on TV!
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…

Chicago Trip 2012!
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…

“Home Made” Pizza
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…

StoryCorps in Nashville
During one of our trips to the Nashville Farmer’s Market one Saturday we saw a beautiful AirStream parked inside where the booths are, which called our attention immediately. We went to check it out and to our surprise the trailer was the StoryCorps mobile studio! For those who don’t know what StoryCorps is, it is…

The weekend we hosted 6
A few weekends ago Javier and I hosted more people than ever before in our little mansion – all told there were 8 of us sleeping under one roof! Danielle, Gretchen, Sarah, David, Brandon and Chris all came to Nashville for a weekend visit that went by WAY too fast. In case you didn’t catch…

And our vacation destination is…
We’re going to Colorado!! So first, thank you to EVERYONE who commented, texted and e-mailed us ideas about vacation destinations – we have about 50 ideas for future vacations and every single one of them sounds awesome. I know we originally said that the west side of the country was out of the question, but…

Choripan to the rescue!
I just had to post this quick video of Choripan trying to rescue Javier from despair. Javi does this thing where he gets on the floor and covers his head and starts fake crying and wherever Choripan is in the house, his ears instantly perk up and he comes running to find Javi, then weasels…

A homecoming & gala
This weekend was pretty unusual for us in that we were social and went out both nights. The main focus of the weekend was the long-awaited return of our good friend Jason who has been in Afghanistan for the last year serving with the American troops. Jason entered the Center for Latin American Studies at…

Deadline
Last Sunday night I had the privilege and pleasure to get up on stage with some of the most jaw-dropping musicians in Nashville to sing some backup on a song called Redeemed. The song is on the soundtrack for the new movie Deadline that just premiered in Nashville on Wednesday and is in theaters now…
