Today reminded me of a few things. No. 1: There’s

Today reminded me of a few things.

No. 1: There’s a reason I never got college credit for that AP U.S. History class. 🫠

No. 2: Today felt less like a celebration and more like a really good excuse to share all kinds of things with my family… U.S. history (thanks Google), childhood faves, memories from the summer I interned here.

It’s a both-and. I can be grateful for what this passport gives me AND hold space for the complicated parts of our past and present.

Shoutout to everyone, stateside or overseas, making memories and keeping traditions that make sense for your family. 🇺🇸♥️🇨🇴

Movie night just got an upgrade 🍿🎬

Platino seats, brick oven pizza to your seat, and a card that pays you back. Viva Envigado is the move for date night or family night.

📍 CC Viva Envigado, Cine Colombia  🗓️ Showtimes vary! Check the app.  💰 ~$7 USD tickets, Discounts with Tarjeta Cineclub 💡 Recharge your card in person to use a US credit card, the website doesn’t take international cards.
🔉 Want the movie in its original language? Look for “Subtitulado.” Want it in Spanish? Look for “Doblado.” 📲 @cinecolombia en @vivaenvigadocc

The thing nobody tells you about flying as a dual

The thing nobody tells you about flying as a dual citizen family? You’re doing the passport shuffle at least three times: check-in, security, and the gate.

Not complaining. But when you’ve got kids crying, emotions running high, and you’re just trying to keep your sanity... here’s how we keep 9 passports organized and actually make it through when we leave Colombia. PLUS the documents you’ll want on hand just in case. I’ve been asked for most of these. If you don’t have them on hand, you’ll need to figure out a way to show them if you get asked.

Part 1 of the documents we never leave without ↓
📋 Colombian passport (mine and each kid’s)
📋 Registro civil de nacimiento (mine and each kid’s)
📋 Registro civil de matrimonio
📋 Cédula + visa copy for non-citizen spouse

Comment PASAPORTE and I’ll send you the link to the passport holder that keeps me sane.

Throwback to the moment La Vaca Lola walked in and

Throwback to the moment La Vaca Lola walked in and my 3 year old sang all the words 🐄🎶

This was back in April, and it’s the second year in a row since we moved here that Toy Cantando brought this show to Medellín. If your kids are obsessed with La Vaca Lola too, mark your calendar for March so you don’t miss it next time!

📍 Teatro Metropolitano 🗓️ Saturdays & Sundays Multiple showtimes 💰 $ 💡 Budget for balloons or toys! Lots of vendors on the way to the entrance 📲 @toycantando

Setting a reminder for April 2027 as we speak 📌
