What a crazy few days we've had!!  Early in the Thanksgiving week I notified my kid's teachers that they would be out for Accion de Gracias (Thanksgiving).  Wednesday they had a field trip to a local theater.  I was excited for them to get to go.  What a fun way for them to finish...

Last Spring right after returning to Prague and while attending church we met a new family.  Instantly our kids hit it off!  In such a short time they were buds!  It was almost crazy at how quickly they took to one another.  They were a sibling group of 3 boys.  Their middle...

I spent a couple of hours yesterday at my neighbor's home.  She's been a great neighbor!! Helping me in times of need and giving me a look into Spanish culture.  And we've had some fun chats! We were talking in her kitchen waiting for the coffee to brew when I looked over and saw something...

I don't think silly bands were big yet by the time we left the US in April 2008.  My guys were so little they wouldn't have been into it anyway. I seem to remember seeing pictures some time ago of store aisles full of various silly bands!! Well, the craze has hit Spain!  We haven't...

Milk carton Project I love how they call it a "brick" of milk in Spanish (although they also have the word "carton)! We got a note sent home that the school will be having a "La fiesta del otoño,"  an autumn party on Friday of this week.  We were asked to make a milk carton into a type of...

I've decided to start doing a little serious called Flashback Friday.  Maybe it will be every week, maybe not.  We'll see.  At the beginning of this year I wrote 2 posts about the last 10 years of living in Europe, here and here.  There was no way to share every one of our experiences...

Adoption is near and dear to my heart.  So I felt compelled to join in on mentioning that it is National Adoption Month. We adopted our daughter when she was 5 months old from a Czech orphanage while living in Prague, Czech Republic.  God has bless our family in so many ways because of...

I've been thinking a lot about this word lately, especially with our recent move.   My perspective on life and the world around me is going to be so different from the next person.  So many things will contribute to each one's perspective.  Where they've lived, experiences they've...

Several people had mentioned to me that our town of Alcobendas, had a Pirate Park.  Today we finally went in search of it. The structure is in the shape of a ship complete with what looks like waves around the ship.  Kinda fun! What I was not expecting when we got there was kids in...

Have you ever studied another language? Somehow I got all the way through highschool and 3 years of college without learning a language.  I have had a passion to travel Europe since I was a kid!  But that passion never included learning another language!  Ha!  I remember even...

I haven't made Pumpkin Crumble yet this season, but I plan to!  It WILL get made, I promise you that.  I am joining in on We Are That Family's  "Work For Me Wednesday" where we are sharing Fall recipes. I blogged about this Pumpkin Crumble last year when I found it on Our Best Bites,...

Every day I continue to be amused and amazed at the school line up.  I think I've mentioned it before, but the preschool (ages 3 - 5) is connected to the elementary school.  They do however, line up at a different door than the big kids.  There are 2 classes for each age, making a total...
