One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I love baking for Easter! This year I made carrot cake and cheesecake eggs with shortbread soldiers. These eggs were so cute and were delicious. I hope everyone had a great day yesterday!

Last week I spent four days in Barcelona with 47 teachers in training to take students abroad. These teachers are incredible and and are helping to open their student’s eyes to the incredible world of travel. I had a guided tour of La Sagrada Familia which I would highly suggest; there is so much to…
After exploring the city of Trinidad you should get outside of it and find a waterfall. Javira Waterfall is about a twenty five minute cab ride outside of the city and should not be missed. Once in the national park you have to do a short relatively easy hike (there are a few inclines, but…
There are a couple of different ways I would suggest you spend your day in Trinidad but what this post is about is simply experiencing the beautiful city. Whether it be a full day or a few hours, aimlessly walking around this city to take in the colors is a must. I would also highly suggest…

The Chinese New Year is less than a week away, what do you have planned? If the answer was nothing I am ashamed (just kidding), but also happy because I have planned your evening for you! It is an evening in the kitchen with these cuties. I had feared making steamed dumplings because I don’t…
