Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope that you’ve had an amazing week. I’m sorry for the crickets over here this week – I only managed to publish two posts because we were living up our last few days in Sevilla. One of the biggest gifts to myself during this long trip was that I pre-wrote 12 blog posts before we left. It gave me the chance to truly unplug and enjoy, and now we’re home and it’s back to the routine!

I’m pretty proud of myself because for almost the entire trip, I was solo parenting. The girls and I flew across the ocean to Barcelona, enjoyed some days before our cruise and after our cruise there, did the Disney cruise, flew down to Sevilla, spent 4+ weeks there, and the Pilot was able to join us for the past few days.

He was finishing up training since he headed back to the airlines, and while we were hopeful the timing would work out with the trip, I didn’t work out that way. Since he was going to be gone anyway, the girls and I went for it and I’m so so glad we did. They’re older now which makes things easier, but it was definitely a core memory girls’ trip! I still have some Spain posts on the way, including some of my tips, Airbnb recipes, how I travel with zero jet lag, Barcelona’s gluten-free food tour, and the food, so stay tuned for those!! If you have any questions for upcoming posts, please lmk!

In the meantime, I’m here in a hoodie from the copius air conditioning (bless it) and snuggling with Miasey. I’d love to hear what you’ve been up and what you have going on this weekend!

Some pics from our last week:

An incredible dinner at Petra. This spot wins for my favorite tortilla, and I tried a LOT of them while we were there
