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…

Toddler Watercolors and a Valentines Day Gift for Dad
Having a newborn in the middle of winter has been a challenge. This year both RSV and the flu have been widespread in Louisville and I didn’t want that anywhere near Goldie, so we decided to keep Penny out of her daycare for Goldie’s first couple of months home. The whole point of keeping Penny…

Baby Girl #2: Goldie Louise Rodriguez
Three months since our last post and here we are, almost five months pregnant with our second girl!!! I thought I’d share the story of how we landed on the name Goldie Louise (Goldie Lou!). The easy part was Louise – it’s Javier’s mom’s middle name (well, the English version – in Spanish it’s Luisa).…

Penny Threads
If you follow me on instagram or are friends with me on facebook you might have seen the 10 days of Penny Christmas photos that I posted of P wearing 10 different Christmas outfits. As soon as I found out I was pregnant last year, I started scouring goodwill, yard sales, and giant consignment sales…

Coming Soon: Penelope Joan
Well, here we are! We knew 2017 would be better than its predecessor but we had no idea how adventurous and exciting this year would be (nor did we know how soon the year would completely turn our worlds around). WE ARE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!! Penelope Joan Rodriguez – Penelope because we love it,…

Heat Wave
It’s hot in Santiago. It’s too hot to write, too hot to move, too hot to cook, too hot to take photos, too hot to leave the house, too hot for much of anything. Javi caught a 24-hour bug a couple of days ago, so we’ve been taking it easy here. The heat makes it…

A list for Leslie’s mom
This is a list, but it’s not exhaustive or in any particular order. This is a list how my mom facilitated some of my all-time favorite memories (check back for Javier’s list tomorrow!). Esta es una lista, pero no es global y no tiene un orden en particular. Esta es una lista de como mi…
