My contribution to a great project about people!

November 7, 2011 by Sarah 0 Comments

I was lucky enough today to take part in a really exciting project called The3six5 : 365 days, 365 Points of  View (http://the3six5.posterous.com/). The goal of this project is to have a different person write an entry that describes their experiences that day. The writers are selected by the project’s editors and are from all over [...]

Six weeks after baby Leo’s arrival

October 2, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

Introducing Leo Tomas Well, after quite a long absence, I am finally back to writing my blog, and boy does it feel good! As most of you probably have already assumed, I finally had the baby! Leo Tomas Senecal was born on August 17th, at 8:32 a.m. by way of emergency c-section. He is now [...]

Thanks to all for your kind messages & well wishes!

August 15, 2011 by Sarah 1 Comment

Things are getting more and more hectic over here the closer the BIG day gets, but I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank all of you who have sent us messages wishing us well with the new baby (who should be here any day now). The fact that you have all have taken [...]

Lettin' off some steam with J-Lo

A little J-Lo while you work…

August 3, 2011 by Sarah 0 Comments

In preparation for the baby, we’ve been trying to get some stuff done around our own apartment, since the last couple of years have been purely dedicated to updating and renovating the posada itself. It has been frustrating at times, having people in and out of our house, but we try to remember it is [...]

Cheesecake Parfaits, a tasty treat ready in 10 minutes!

Thai pork & noodles and sweet cheesecake parfaits

June 22, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

If there is something I miss being in Tulum it has got to be desserts and Thai food! Even though I’m not one to order deserts very often, when you’re deprived you tend to want them even more! Thai has always been on one of my favorite cuisines and a few summers ago I made [...]

The baby, he’s a comin’ soon…

June 17, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

So, yesterday I had my second to last appointment with my doctor before I start making weekly visits to check up with a nurse. Everything looks good and baby is growing and thriving. Am really looking forward to meeting this little guy and find myself trying to picture what the moment will be like when [...]

Almost 31 weeks

Just under 31 weeks and moving into sweatsville for the next 2 months…

June 14, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

After many requests from family, friends and guests I have posted a new pic of myself at 30 weeks and 6 days. Things are going very smoothly and I feel very lucky in that respect. I know I have been saying this a lot, but most of the time I do not even feel pregnant, [...]

Visiting Valladolid: A Photo Essay

June 3, 2011 by Sarah 1 Comment

About a month ago I was lucky enough to spend one of my (very few) days off in Valladolid with some friends. Although I had been there before I was always on a tight schedule, so this time the visit was thankfully a little more laid back and relaxed. Valladolid is a small colonial town [...]

The comfort of mom food

May 16, 2011 by Jess 2 Comments

I have to admit, when Sarah asked me to contribute to her blog, I was enthusiastic but also somewhat concerned. I’m not living abroad, not expecting a baby or planning any major projects in the near term… My life is pretty stable right now. And thank God because I’ve had my fair share of life-altering events [...]

Merida and all its glory

May 15, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

THE CITY & ITS PEOPLE  It has been a while since my last post, but I blame this mostly on finally being given the rare opportunity to travel outside of the Quintana Roo borders. Running a hotel, even a small posada like ours, takes up most of my time, which unfortunately  has hindered our exploration [...]

Frittata plated and ready to enjoy!

Hakuna Frittata

April 28, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

If there is one thing I love to do in my spare time other than eat and travel is cook. I also have a severe addiction to the cooking channel and food network, which are often my sources of inspiration and mostly to blame for  my midnight snacking (thanks to the 11 p.m. showing of Drive-ins, Diners [...]

Ready to enjoy!

A cool treat to beat the heat!

April 27, 2011 by Sarah 2 Comments

This is by far an uncomplicated recipe, but the cool reward is worth it! Being 6 months pregnant and living in a hot climate, I have to say that popsicles have become part of my daily diet. Every night over the past few weeks, as part of my routine “exercise” I have been dragging Marty [...]
