How to Find a Mom Group in Albuquerque
I eventually found my mom group here in Albuquerque, and they've meant everything. But it took months, and I only managed it because I had the energy to keep looking. In Denmark, a nurse simply puts you in a group of six to eight mothers nearby who gave birth around the same time. Here, nobody mentioned anything of the kind. So I built it — a free tool for New Mexico moms that matches you with 6–8 local moms whose babies are close in age to yours. No app, no account, nothing

We Got Married! | Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Playa Del Carmen, Quintana Roo June 2019 I've written about a lot of things on my blog that felt important, but those things feel small in comparison to the big life promise Rasmus and I made to each other a few weeks back. We got married on June 1st at Mahekal Beach Resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. The destination wedding was a big hit, and almost more fun than we could handle! The whole thing was an absolute fairy tale. My whole life I wanted a smaller destination weddin

Reflection of Year One Abroad | Randers, Denmark
Hey all, check out our year end wrap-up video below where Rasmus and I reflect on Denmark. Personal Reflection I cannot believe the long winter has finally ended! This has undoubtedly been one of the most formative experiences of my whole life. Moving to Denmark met every expectation and also missed every expectation. I can say that I am better for it. There is nothing like distance to make you really appreciate your loved ones and roots. I did it. I moved. I dabbled in a n

My Top Five Takeaways from My Online Master’s Experience
It's official, I'm... Lindley Loraine Gallegos, M.Ed. I've been MIA the last month because I've been finishing my final semester in grad school. I am so thankful to have been a part of the M.Ed. (Masters in Higher Education) program at Penn State World Campus. I loved pursing my education while being able to travel the globe and work simultaneously.

Intermittent Fasting Results | Here's What Happened
Intermittent fasting has become hugely popular in the last decade and boasts benefits including improved mental clarity, weight, and body fat loss, increased growth hormone, improved fat burning, reduced inflammation, and increased life expectancy. I have always been interested in manipulating my diet for increased health benefits; for the last six years, I've mainly eaten a dairy-free, gluten-free diet. But the idea that by fasting you give your body space to recover and reb

Whose Dreams Do You Follow? | The Toughest Relationship Question
It is one of the toughest questions you may have to answer in this world, and all for love. People ask me, or assume I have given up on my dreams to follow Rasmus abroad. But really, that is for me to decide. In relationships, often times both partners are equally driven and competent with separate minds and goals in this life. How then, at a young age, can you ensure that both people are fulfilling their true purpose in this world? I'd like to offer some thoughtful insight t

I'm Pursuing Spanish Citizenship
This time next year, I hope to be a citizen of Spain.

Defining Moment: My Why | Master's Degree
Next stop... Lindley Gallegos, M.Ed. I am spending the next four months finishing up my master's degree! I couldn't be more excited. I started my master's in higher education in May 2017 through Penn State's World Campus. You can read about my program here. While in undergrad I had always wondered about online education and the truth: I love it. Sometimes I miss the in-class lectures from Fort Lewis College, and I wouldn't change my undergraduate classroom time for anything.
