As I’ve mentioned before, we try to keep our home traditions and holidays as much as possible. Easter was no exception and we were very lucky to be able to attend the Easter party at the American Club. I only took Evan to the party because daddy was out of town on a business trip … Continue reading
At the last AWA Social and Shopping a friend introduced me to these delicious cinnamon rolls hand made by a lovely lady named Janice. She has several presentations and sizes and you can even order then without the guilt sugar glaze. We had them at our playgroup and kids and moms enjoyed them. Since we … Continue reading
We did it, we rode the local train and we survived! It’s not like it’s a huge challenge but when you see people riding on top of the train and lots of crowds it does seem a bit scary. We decided to do it on a Saturday morning as to avoid the … Continue reading
This week was a very long week. Daddy left on Monday for Surabaya and we had a long Easter weekend. Chasing two little boys around is not easy, we miss daddy! Both the kids caught colds and the heat and humidity didn’t help at all. However, this is all menial considering the great Sacrifice Jesus … Continue reading

In turn, we receive boxes from the same kids we sent packages to and learn … Continue reading
Evan thinks he’s Asian. He will eat sushi rolls, he’s obsessed with rice and noodles and he has to dip everything in soy sauce or kecip manis. Every time we go back to the US or Mexico he suffers from Asian food withdrawal and we have to at least find some rice from him. Here’s … Continue reading
You might wonder what on earth I’m doing talking about a meatshop in Indonesia but this place is worth writing about. As many expats in Jakarta have probably noticed by now, good steak is very hard to find. If you happen to find it, it will probably be at Ranch Market, Kem Chicks or the … Continue reading
To bring some order to the chaos that is my blog, I will start a weekly feature to be published every Sunday. Don’t worry, there won’t be that many ramblings about how awesome/awful our life is in Jakarta but rather a small photographic summary about the highlights and happenings of our week. Debuting the week … Continue reading
