Happy weekend! We spent our last day in Argentina at this lakeside bar and I have so many new backyard dreams. From the dome to the view, every bit of this place was amazing. Here's to hoping we'll be back next summer 😉

"This fall, we sadly learned Aya lost the battle to her disease. We hope that in the short time North Carolina was able to offer her refuge, she felt welcomed and safe in her new home. For her mother and other immigrants seeking refuge in America, we recognize the uncertainty and pain you must feel. We want you to know just as our ancestors before us, you are welcome here too."

Finally getting back into my blogging groove from my new home in Chile! Here's a little update on what I've been up to...

My mug of fresh coffee sits cooling on the floor next to me, and a fresh summer breeze drifts in from the balcony where our laundry is still drying. Sounds just like home sweet home, ri...
