About a week before Christmas, my mom decided to hop on a plane to come spend Christmas with us in Toulouse. What a treat! Definitely what I really wanted for Christmas. We got to have lots of girl time in the pink city, wandering in and out of pretty brick shops,
fooding in the Carmes district, but mostly (and bestly) talking, talking, talking.
In search of sun, we all took a road trip to Spain, stopping first to take in the
Richard Serra installation at the magnificent
Guggenheim in Bilbao, before we landed in Madrid for a few days.

inspiring..I really loved the landscape around Bilbao - amazing - I've never seen such hills and mountains.

Hope all is great on your end... I'm struggling to establish myself up here with some work at home, but having a bit of a hard time. Sounds like you've really gotten the hang of it! I could use some advice and words of wisdom... XOXO
