Ever since we moved in we’ve had the same trash can set up: two of them inside the kitchen, one for organic and the second for plastics, and two of them right outside, one for glass and another one for paper. Oh and in between the glass and paper we have a bottle to recycle… CONTINUE READING →
Am I the only one who likes to eat ice cream year round? No? Good. Okay, full disclosure: I’ve been feeling a bit sick lately and hadn’t had the time to shoot new recipes. Plus I can’t access my external had drive with all my pictures (it’s a long story, but it’ll be about a… CONTINUE READING →
Even though a friend of mine is making my dress, I took Kristen’s suggestion and decided to try on some dresses to see which style I like. So, last Friday I went to Rosa Clará. We went without an appointment, but they were free, so the shop assistant had me try on quite a few… CONTINUE READING →
As a part of my 2012 challenge to organize all our stuff, I decided to do something about all the papers we have laying around. You know, all those bills, receipts that you need for the warranty, instruction manuals, home ownership papers, personal ones (social security, etc)… even if we try to avoid them as… CONTINUE READING →

I’ve already mentioned a couple of times that my boyfriend’s in a handball team, so the weekends that the game is away from home there isn’t much time to do anything. I stayed in, watched TV, started reading a book, and… CONTINUE READING →

And thanks… CONTINUE READING →
With the date set (September 7th!) and still looking for a venue, I thought we should start brainstorming ideas for the menu. You might recall that we’re catering the wedding ourselves – partly out of necessity (the cheapest wedding menus are 100€ per person and the food isn’t that great, plus the price doesn’t include… CONTINUE READING →
I’d like to apologize for my lack of post on Friday – I forgot to mention that it was King’s Day here in Spain. The day was filled with gifts, food, family and friends, and it marked the end of the Christmas season for us. With that in mind, I’d like to share the DIY… CONTINUE READING →
