Tomorrow my family and I are heading up to Asturias (Northern Spain), to spend Christmas with Monica’s family. We’re going for a week, so during that time I won’t be posting. But fear not! Once I’m back in Madrid, I’m sure I will have lots of stories about Christmas and our mini vacation. I hope… Continue reading A tiny break.
NaBloPoMo prompt for Dec 19… Audrey Hepburn said, “If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had.

Regardless, this small thing kind of reminded me… Continue reading The view from my window.
Christmas music and movies definitely help me get in the Christmas spirit. I’d say that my favorite movie would be Elf. There are just so many quotable lines in that movie, and always laugh while watching it. I’m gonna watch it tonight for the first time this season!! My other favorites are A Miracle… Continue reading Do you wanna build a snowman?!
Currently I’m counting down to a few things: the day until my Christmas package from home arrives, the day we leave for Asturias for Christmas, and New Years Eve. Christmas Package.
