      honestly you just have to do it. stepping out of your comfort zone is so hard but just have to make a decision and do it! no excuses. the more you do the things that scare you, the easier it is to do more of those things and the more you realize actually how strong and independent you actually are.

      idealista, bingolingo, fotocasa.es, enalquilar, pisos.com ... good luck to her. finding an apt abroad is such a frusterating experience. tell her to make sure to call each ad not just email and walk around the neighborhoods hse wants to live in and look for 'alquilar' signs. a lot of people still don't use the internet to advertise. and i'm sure it's even harder that she's only there 2-3 months as most people want longer leases.

      Thank you! I love them a lot but they have definitely shown me how much work it is to be a mom so I'm not rushing to have my own

      I plan on calling San Francisco home for at least a few years more. May take a detour for awhile but it's my favorite city in the world

      Spring for sure. May probably. Before all the summer tourists arrive but when the weather is nice and sunny

      For the summer i'm playing full time sister... basically their nanny all day... and man is it exhausting. i don't understand how they can still have so much energy after being at the beach, park and pool all day every day! I have a plan for the fall but not quite ready to share it yet. Has to do with continuing my Masters.

      Not even close to what I imagined it would be. But I definitely improved and am continuing to study and practice it.

      Thank you! I started very slowly not sure what I wanted my blog to be. It grew very slowly over time. When I started, sponsoring wasn't really a big thing so I didn't until maybe a year ago.

      Thank you! So happy to be home! They got so big in 4 months! And you should hear them talking! Both of them like real talking human beings!

      Good for you! 1. If you don't already know French start studying now! I wish so much that I had refreshed/taken a course before I left. It would have made things a lot easier 2. Use couchsurfing.com and meetup.com to make friends and a great way to do that is going to Intercambios. Ask everyone you know if they have friends in Paris. You will be so happy to have any sort of connection when so far away from home. 3. I found my apt through internet classifieds after I had already been here a month. This worked out really well for me. Just be very open to the experience and meeting new people. And start meeting new people right away! Go to intercambios, school functions, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions and have fun!

      Thanks that's really nice that you think so but I'm definitely not fit at all. I need to work on it. I love pilates and bar method, swimming and want to get into yoga. I also walk A LOT.

      yes she is turning 18 in October. Still blows my mind. No way is she over 12.... Anyways, My sister trys to steal all my clothes and accessories so I always buy her clothes for her birthday. I got her a HOBO wallet/clutch last year and I don't think she's put it down since. Perfume too. The new Chloe one is great. Maybe a cute print off etsy too.

      ahhh thanks that's really nice! not really. I need to start investing more in my skincare routine. i've started using ponds (yes the kind my grandma uses) at night on my face. I thought I would make me break out because it's so oily but actually it's helped with break outs a lot. I try to get facials when I can but not since I've been in Spain so in desperate desperate need of one.
