learning to latina dance
The girls and I threw a hawaiian party last night. By the middle of the night it had turned into a full fledge latina dance party. Perfectly fine by me! the fact that i have no rhythm did not deter all of them from teaching me a thing or two about latina dancing. they […]
a year to remember
what a year! My mother calls this my year of recompense. Life has not always been a cake walk for me. 2008 was spent in and out of hospitals literally fighting for my life. Maybe 2010 has been that kind of year for you. If it has please know that in Gods timing he restores everything […]
my soapbox
{at the market in malaga, spain} I’ve received a few emails lately from readers asking for health tips. And since we’re coming up on 2011, I for one, want to make this the healthiest year yet. Maybe you do too … and maybe this little list will help make that a reality. (and serve […]
Our First (married) Christmas
Christmas Eve in Panama is the big celebration. Everyone stays up until midnight, passes out kisses for everyone when the clock strikes twelve, and then opens their presents. Then you go sleep until your hearts content. {dress was a jackpot find from F21} Why yes, that is a REAL pig. Pretty frightening if […]
Pedasi, Panama

The owner, an Italian, also cooked us delicious meals. dear italians, i love you. you do everything so lovely. a glass of wine and sunset […]
Playa Venao takes the sting out of 27
Twenty-seven years old does not sound too bad when you’re sitting pretty on Playa Venao. It certainly takes the sting out a bit. So does the margarita with extra salt. (: Playa Venao is a little horseshoe shaped dip in the pacific where surfers flock. a spot where your hair is never blown dry. […]
introducing …
After much encouragement from family and friends I decided to open up a little photograph shop. Let me know what you think and “favorite” me on etsy if you want to make me SMILE. REAAAAALLY big (:
the beaches of los santos, panama
Our driver took us to the “bonita” beaches of Los Santos. It was pretty in its own way but not what we expected. Let’s just say that it was a little dirty. Still we had fun exploring the surroundings and ended up using the public transport back which was quite the experience. {catherine holstein […]
Chitre, Panama
one of my favorite things about traveling in a latin country is my unlikely blue eyed, blonde haired, spanish speaking husband who happens to enjoy eavesdropping on conversations on occasion. When I took this picture the men beside me were saying “oh yes, take that picture. looks pretty, like a beat up museum”. I […]
first glance at panama city, panama
{view from our room} {view from the living room} my sweet panamanean tour guides monica and maritza {little panamanean boy on my way out of town} So far so good. I had no hickups getting here and even scored first class seats! I loooove Panama! The colors, big city feel of panama ciudad, its people- […]

No…. no babies just yet. This is not that kind of announcement. (: We’re moving to Panama for a couple of months!! JB is going to be playing winter league ball down there. Don’t worry, I’ll still be back to start working in the edible schoolyard late january. We’re so excited! […]
