When we returned to Singapore from Pankil, we had one day to unwind and regroup before leaving for London. We unpacked, did laundry, and repacked, but were content to just sit and relax, soaking up our last bit of family time. Then there was an errand to be run that promised to be truly an [...]

Since I feel like I’m celebrating 36 for the second time, it’s only appropriate that there be 2 celebrations, right?! This weekend was Chris’s gift to me for my birthday . . . a get-away for the two of us to a hotel/spa just 30 minutes away from our home. Our room was in an [...]

What do you say to a weekend away, with just the girls, to go to some European Christmas Markets?! That was definitely a no-brainer! Three countries in three days? We were up for it! We started on a Friday and flew to Luxembourg, a country I probably would never have gotten to if it weren’t [...]

A spur of the moment trip to the theatre is never a bad thing. A friend was given tickets for Matilda the Musical and invited the girls of our family along. There is a reason the musical has already won so many awards. It was amazing!! If you get a chance to see it, don’t [...]

As we begin April, my thoughts turn to a post from about 3 years ago. For some reason, I’ve been in the same mind-frame . . . just thinking about all that I am thankful for in my life. I felt it was worthwhile for me to repost it, for my own benefit. Reposted from [...]

Last week Chris and I took our first cold-weather holiday . . . to Iceland. Not being skiers, we realized this was very different for us, as we packed plenty of clothes to layer against the cold and snow. We also made sure to pack our camera equipment in hopes of catching the Northern Lights. [...]
