Hi! My name is Kaley, and I’m a mom raising two bilingual children. My husband is from Spain, and I’m from Indiana. We met in Spain in 2009, right after I graduated from Indiana University.
We live in the U.S., but we speak Spanish at home with our two daughters.
We were married on July 7, 2012
Follow my blog for our adventures raising two children in two languages: the ups, the downs, and all the in-betweens!
Kaley...& Más 
I love this! So many questions…how did you find the teaching experience there?? I have considered teaching abroad but have heard mixed stuff. Mainly, it can be in not so great areas where you really apart from society and reality…and you still work a lot of hours. Also, that the money isn’t that good? I have enormous student loan debt and pay a lot of bills each month – so I’d need something realistic.
Do you and your ‘boy’ plan to stay/live in Spain?!
Just stumbled across your blog. I love it long time! We’re American Military living in Spain and love it. I’ll have to flip through your past posts and read up more on your fun life here in Spain!
Hi! I stumbled upon your blog a while ago and have been following ever since. Being from Spain and having experienced life in Indiana – I was an exchange student there during my junior year in high school, what are the odds?! – it’s really cool to read the other side of the story, and specially seeing how you’ve come to appreciate a lot of the good things that Spain has to offer. Good luck with Mario’s attempts to move to the US with you, and keep it up!
Hey! Thanks for the blog comments. :) hehe I love them! Where did you study when you were in Toledo? I feel like Toledo is a such a small world!
Kaley, I love your blog and the way your express yourself. You clearly put so much thought into what you say. It’s a real pleasure to read. Welcome to the interesting world
of the bicultural marriage!
Thanks, Fiona. You are so sweet!

Hi Kaley,
We were both featured on Ella Coquine’s must reads – I have yet another thing to thank her for now, by sharing your blog! I live in Paris, but my husband (from BA) and I (from NY) would love to one day live in Madrid. We were there in September with our toddler and it just seemed like such a welcome change to our grey weather and sullen faces in Paris. Will have fun on visits here and if you’re ever in Paris and would like to go on a treasure hunt at the Louvre, just drop me a line.
Kind regards,
Daisy
Hi Daisy, thanks for the comment! I’ve been on a long holiday weekend here, so sorry for the delay in approving your comment! I will definitely keep you in mind for a Paris visit. Interestingly, I have been, but my Spanish husband hasn’t. We need to visit together!
Hi Kaley,
I just stumbled on your blog and love it! I am also an American (Texan) living in Madrid. I feel kind of like we are living parallel lives- I got married in 2012, too, and blog about the experience of living here, though with a slightly different bent- my blog is more food-centric (www.gambasandgrits.com). I’m surprised we haven’t run into each other in real life!
I thought it would be fun if we cross-pollinate- would you be interested in doing a guest recipe or restaurant review for my site? I will promote it on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest as well as my site.
Here’s hoping 2013 is as exciting as 2012!
Annie
Just found your blog! So obsessed!! I’m a future auxiliar getting ready to move to Spain in the fall!
Hey thanks :)
Hey there! I’m moving to Madrid in February 2014 after I graduate from Univ of FL this December. I came across your blog and I can’t wait to read your other posts and lurk hardcore haha. I want to learn Spanish more than anything! Thanks for writing :)
Thanks Carly! What are you going to be doing in Madrid?
I’m taking a TEFL course for a month and then teaching English :)
Awesome! I’m sure you’ll have a good time.

Hi Kaley, love your blog! It´s very interesting to read and I recognize a lot about what you say about living in Spain (with a handsome Spaniard!) as a foreigner.
Lots of love,
