After three years in South East Asia, we finally gave in. We went to a hotel Brunch. We’ve never been big fans of buffet brunch. We always end up eating something that makes us sick, or even worse eating too much. Back in the States we loved doing brunch, as long as it was a … Continue reading
Six suitcases, check. Carry-on bag with laptop, Ipad, camera and jewelry, check, check, check. Pregnant belly still kicking and jabbing, check. Eighteen-month old, whew, check. As we arrived to our new apartment all I could think about was how empty it seemed to me. Sure, it was full of furniture I didn’t particularly like, and … Continue reading

I know I’ve been a little bit absent this past week, but you are soon to see why. We had a very busy and productive week. I had so many fun events going on during the week that I can’t believe it’s over and my schedule for next week seems empty compared to this past … Continue reading
