Whoops! A new post on a Sunday?? Well, you see... I dropped the ball. But I'm going to blame it on the fact that last Thursday was Valentine's Day and we were just out celebrating it up!

I've given you 3 short readings PLUS a vocab & grammar list for each reading PLUS discussion questions that you can either answer out loud, do a timed writing, or

Hello everybody! Here is this week's weekly Spanish resources. Remember, the idea is to work with the same resource for 2-3 days changing up how you use it.

I've give you a couple of ideas below but feel free to get creative. Let me know in the comments below how you used each resource! Just plan for 15-20 minutes daily and

Let the New Year begiiinnn!! Have you started any of your new goals? My husband's goals are to be more active and to eat more soup (he's a weirdo.) So yesterday we started the New Year by hiking 6 miles and then going over to my parents' to eat some of my mom's homemade soup. And then today, I made a delicious white chicken chili from Ambitious Kitchen. I'd say he started off the new year on the right foot. As for my goals, I don't really have any. I want to have some but I j

It's my last email of 2018! And I wanted to ring in the new year with a few Spanish resources for you to finish this year strong! I love this time of the year because it means I get to see a lot of family members I don't usually see. Like my 2 year old nephew! He's very active right now and extremely curious.

4 years ago today, I was getting ready to walk down the aisle to greet my new husband with a big old smooch in the face! My wedding day was pretty exciting but it turns out that post-wedding life as in actual marriage is even more exciting. Not everything is glitter and butterflies and hearts and balloons. But there are so many great lessons I've learned about communication, sharing, patience, and acceptance. It's taken me four years and up to the moment that I'm writing this

If you look at Spanish textbooks, there's a certain sequence to them. They all start out with the same topics.... Family, Classes, Sports, Hobbies, so on and so forth. They also all start out with the same grammatical concepts.... Me gusta, AR verbs, numbers, adjectvies, so on and so forth. This sequencing can be very helpful and its success is backed by research. However, it can also be very limiting. The funny thing about language is that it is so unexpected. You can't time

Maybe it’s too soon to talk about this as people are still jumping on the “New Year, New You” train but am I the only one that is absolutely annoyed by other people trying to convince you to better yourself? Everywhere you look you see people telling you to write out your daily goals and to schedule your whole day in 30 minute increments so you can get everything done and become this super efficient robot. Ok, maybe they’re not telling you to do that last one but they’re defi

The Internet has taken over the world. It’s taken over our entertainment, our hobbies, our careers, and even our education. Is that a bad thing? I’ll let you mull that over but let’s skip that question. The robots and machines are here so we might as well put them to good use. Now, I will admit apps confuse me. Technically, I’m a millennial and should understand all techy things but somehow I missed that boat. I don’t like them. They take space up in my phone and attempt to d
