About Me

Ashleigh: Madrid, Spain; I am a military wife, with a supportive husband, two beautiful boys and one sweet little dachshund named, Sammy. Every few years, we pick up and plop down somewhere new...this time it's Spain...we keep pinching ourselves, and by the looks of the bruises, it must be real! I have a passion for all forms of writing. I've written a travel column for a local newspaper, written country music, and performed for children at festivals, parties, and schools as the Firecracker Fairy, singing my original children's tunes. While in Spain, I have three hopes for myself and my family...learn to speak Spanish, travel as much as possible, and have fun! Documenting our journey as well as sharing my observations about Spanish/American life will be my focus for this blog. I hope you'll come along with us...
