    The Empress Book Review ~ A Madwoman in Mexico

    August 31, 2020 / 0 Comments

    by Laura Martinez-belli 1866, Mexico Book Review 4.5/5 I knew I was going to love this book when it began with a cast of characters à la a Shakespearean play. Enriched with little known history and authentic persons, the dullness of centuries past becomes suffused with color, bright and alive. Somewhat reminiscent of Philippa Gregory’s works, The Empress is full of Mexican culture, international politics, power struggles and aristocratic manipulations. Though centurial affairs can be at times dry, there was never a lack of interesting storylines.

    Mexican Bolillo Bread

    August 31, 2020 / 0 Comments

    This is a type of savory roll traditionally made in Mexico. This crusty hard roll is usually broken in half with the soft, fluffy insides (known as the migajón) removed- and devoured! The exterior shell is then used as a torta or to scoop up and hold other food. Have you tried making these rolls or the hot chocolate dip?? I’d love to hear your feedback. Please comment and rate! Peace & love, jenni

My husband and I met for a blind date 12 years ago today after connecting on match.com. We’ve been inseparable ever since. One marriage, three children and countless adventures later, here we are. I’m so very grateful I found my guy ❤️ ⠀
⠀
⠀
I’m excited to dive into The Four Winds. I’m torn between reading this gorgeous physical book or listening to my favorite narrator, @JuliaWhelan  tell the story. ⠀

And of course, I had to bring my new favorite YETI along....⠀

So every February 1st I put one heart on each of my kid’s doors saying one thing I love about them. I do this everyday leading up to Valentine’s Day. This year I came upstairs to some love on my own door. My heart has never been so full! ❤️❤️❤️
