LIFE takes you unexpected places Love brings you HOME

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 →

It feels like we have finally settled back into a routine although we did have a holiday last Thursday.

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 →

Things to do in Surabaya with Kids

April 29, 2012 in Family, Kids, Travel 17 Comments

Don’t believe it when they tell you there’s nothing to do in Surabaya. There’s at least four, yes, FOUR things to do in Surabaya with the kids other than the malls. I know, it doesn’t sound like much but at least despite our 2 week-long trip we managed to entertain the boys and I didn’t … Continue reading →
