Overnight guests and another hospital visit…..

Yesterday was yet another memorable experience at Angeles de Medellin! The children are lovelier and lovelier every time I see them. One of the families is a family of seven and their mom has a hernia and has basically been bed ridden for months. A few weeks ago, Marcus mentioned that she would be having surgery at … Continue reading →

Happy weekend!

On the agenda today: NOT SPENDING MY WHOLE MORNING ON PINTEREST AND ETSY!!!!!!!!!!! I blame my fiance. Yes, it is alllllll his fault. You see, the last few weekends he has gone off cycling in the mornings and leaves me home alone. Which I actually quite enjoy. I have a leisurely morning, with my three … Continue reading →

He started Angeles de Medellin (Angels of Medellin) in March 2006. Marcos works Monday through Friday (and the … Continue reading →

It was a long weekend (yet again) in Medellin (there are roughly 286 holidays here…) But seriously. There are a TON of long weekends in Medellin. Friday night Mateo and I had … Continue reading →

Livin’ the life!

Last week I got stitches. These stitches were a result of me thinking I could fly (which is obviously not the case…..) These moments of stupidity are often referred to as “hammock moments,” “blonde moments,” and very recently, “woundsy moments” by my dear family and friends — good thing I love them! Yesterday I dragged my dear friend, … Continue reading →

What are you thankful for?

What a busy past few days!!! I was going to give you a little re-cap yesterday but somehow the day got away on us. We had a great weekend with Mateo’s parents (Brian & Sheila). On Saturday, I drove them up to the finca for their horseback riding adventure. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it … Continue reading →

Days off and ripped jeans

A few days ago, I was out and about and had to go to the bank. I was in and out because it was closed from 12-2 for lunch (read:siesta). As I launched myself into Mateo`s ginormous beast of a truck, my most comfortable, most favourite pair of jeans RIPPED — not just a wee … Continue reading →
