Soon after we moved to Jakarta, when my sister was in town (the belle) and I was still very pregnant (the belly) , we decided to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the Big Durian, and embark on a trip to the well-renowned beach resort of Bali. After doing some research, we … Continue reading
On a day like any other where Evan is desperately looking for something new to play with or destroy he found some old containers of play dough. Alas, the play dough was completely dry so I had to resort to my good old friend Google and look for recipes to make homemade play dough. The … Continue reading
We love the nature of our nomadic lifestyle. We love living overseas and moving around every few years. Raising kids in such a transient and dynamic environment can be challenging sometimes. That’s why we make sure we provide consistency and stability for the kids at home. One of our priorities as soon was we move … Continue reading
