Well, I’ve made it halfway through my last week in Spain. When you’re around two little monster humans for extended periods of time, it’s difficult to keep a smile on your face. But that’s just what I’m trying to do.

I am determined to leave here on a good note, all bad feelings left behind, and really look back on the past 6 months with fondness, not regrets or hard feelings.

I will truck through these next few days, positivity as my number one goal, and make everything count.

On the agenda?

• One last stroll around the city
• Beers before picking up the kids on my last day of school (what? It’s totally normal here)
• Dinner and a night out with the girls (who pretty much saved me)
• Perfect my cooking of a couple signature Spanish dishes
• Pack Pack Pack
• Say some goodbyes

It’s not much, but it’s enough to help me make the most of the city with which I have fallen in love.
