Today as I was reading about Third Culture Kids I found this great article about a girl who spent part of her developing years in Indonesia: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/26/news/26iht-rkid_ed3_.html?pagewanted=all Although it’s an old article (2002), some of the references to Indonesia made me chuckle and I couldn’t help but wonder how many of these experiences will be … Continue reading

Traveling with a Toddler and an Infant Part I: the Good the Bad and the Ugly
We’re halfway thru our trip in Surabaya. So far I can say we’ve had a great time despite the temporary setbacks that having a toddler and an infant in the same room entail. Most of the time I’ve been by myself with the kids as my husband has been working 7-6 every day. Thank God … Continue reading
A Week in Snapshots: ❊9/04/12-15/04/12❊
Busy is an understatement for this week! When we were not getting ready to join daddy in Surabaya we were at Kindyroo, an AWA meeting, school or on a plane. We got to Surabaya on Wednesday night and we’ve had a very busy but fun schedule. We will be here for one more week and … Continue reading
Easter at the American Club
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
Riding the Local Train
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
Find: Miniapolis Plaza Indonesia
I love the outdoors. I enjoy going camping, hiking a nature trail, going to a park. Alas, Jakarta doesn’t have that many outdoor activities to offer. The few city parks I’ve seen are very dirty and not well-taken care of and the tropical heat doesn’t help considering these parks barely have any trees to provide … Continue reading
Little Red Farm Worldwide Cultural Exchange
We are now taking part of a Worldwide Cultural Exchange where the kids, with the help of mom and dad, prepare a box of things representative of their country and culture and send it to kids elsewhere in the world. In turn, we receive boxes from the same kids we sent packages to and learn … Continue reading
Toddler (and pregnant woman) Friendly DC
Washington, DC is one of my favorite capitals of the world. I always think of DC with fond memories of living there as a single girl and having a blast in DC and its surrounding areas. The DC area offers great activities for everyone and for every budget. Whether you are an adrenaline-junkie and love … Continue reading
A Week in Snapshots
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
