Happy Grace Day

As I lay in bed this morning nursing my littlest, my biggest,… Continue reading Happy Grace Day

Breakfast Tray

I can’t even remember how much I paid but I found this old metal tray at Goodwill a few years ago. I often wonder what decade this tray is from.  What it was used for?  Who decided they no longer needed it? I store it behind the microwave due to lack of counter space but… Continue reading Breakfast Tray

Love this post about being a Stay-At-Home Mom.  Living overseas affords us the opportunity for me to stay home and I don’t come in contact with too many people that look down upon my “profession” but I do occasionally feel like I have to defend myself as I have had a job outside the home… Continue reading Sunday Links

Parque del Alamillo

This past Veteran’s Day we decided to head into Sevilla to the Parque del Alamillo. Joe’s co-worker told him about this big park, near Sevilla’s Olympic Stadium. It reminded me of Central Park in NYC.  Chirping birds, orange groves, beautiful paths and lots of trees to climb. It was a weekday and all the Spaniards… Continue reading Parque del Alamillo

30 Days of Giving

It is so easy to get into bad habits at the holiday season. You know the ones: overeating, overbuying, overdrinking, overdoing it all. When I stumbled upon the 30 Days of Giving Challenge I thought – AHA!  What a great idea. There are so many ways to give this season. And I’m not talking about… Continue reading 30 Days of Giving

The Extra

Child #1 is a huge adjustment.  You hover.  You lay awake at night listening to all the chirps and burps rumbling from this new little creature laying in the zoo-animal-bedazzled porta-crib next to you.  You change your baby’s clothes every. single. time. they spit out the tiniest portion of bodily fluid.  You change their diaper… Continue reading The Extra
