Here is a little something to brighten your day.  I could listen to Adam laugh forever.  

I’m not a huge mashed potato fan.  This might incite the masses, but I’m just not. It just doesn’t excite me.  But I saw this recipe http://poundofglue.blogspot.com/ and it looked good so I decided to make it yesterday. I would never in a million years have thought that cream cheese had a place in mashed potatoes, butContinue reading “Cream Cheese makes everything better”

Last Friday Adam went on his first field trip ever.  The Amerikids Daycare, which is run by the American Embassy, organized a trip to the Mind Museum and Adam went too.  We got ready and walked over.  It’s right near our house and I’ve been wanting to take Adam so this was the perfect opportunity. Continue reading “Field Trip”

Our air shipment arrived this week! While I know that stuff is only stuff it was still really nice.  It is definitely helping us feel more at home.  Just enough things arrived to get us by until the rest arrives (hopefully soon, come on boat). I’m not sure who was happier, Adam or me. Adam finallyContinue reading “Who is this Pet”

You use it when you want something, you use it when you absolutely MUST have something, you use it for everything. It sure is cute. Knowing where your head, ears, nose and yourContinue reading “457 days is:”

This week in my mission to relearn to cook with different ingredients and on an induction stove (thanks Kate for pointing out that it’s not electric) I’ve finally managed to have some success! And not a minute too soon. I am definitely sick of eating out so much.  Eating out, especially during the week, makes me feel like we’reContinue reading “When in Rome…”

*Warning- this post is not vegetarian friendly 🙂 This weekend we took our visitor Kate and headed to Salcedo Market.  This market is open every Saturday in a park in Makati and it was at the top of Randy’s list of things he wants to check out in Manila.  I actually don’t know how long this listContinue reading “Salcedo Market”

Some of the many reasons why I love Kate: 1) I’m sitting in my bed using wifi because Kate knows enough about these things to take me to Market Market (our nearby mall) and help me buy my own wifi router (please don’t laugh at me people) and now we have wifi in the house!! Continue reading “Kate's Nook”

Poor Adam, he’s had a rough week. He was feeling awful yesterday and had a fever all day. Poor baby was so out of it and sick that all he wanted to do was sleep on me.  This hasn’t happened in months.  In some ways I loved the cuddles but I wish they didn’t haveContinue reading “Strep & visitors”
