In honor of our two year anniversary in Manila (we arrived Valentines Day 2013!) here is a list of things I love about Manila.  Being far away from our family and friends and having to deal with issues that are normal for a developing country every day (like unbearable traffic) it is hard sometimes toContinue reading “Happy two years Manila!”

For Uncle Nooj’s last full day in Manila (also his second) we decided to live it up.  We left the kids at home and went to the Champagne Brunch at the Sofitel.  We’ve been hearing about this brunch since we moved to Manila but we had no idea what we were in for.  The foodContinue reading “Uncle Nooj's Whirlwind Manila Adventure – Part 2”

After a whole week, weContinue reading “Blueberry muffins & pinkies & poo (oh my)”

Adam’s school had a fun day last week.  I wasn’t sure what to expect but Adam was so excited about it and I knew it would be fun.  All morning he kept talking about how it was a holiday.   It was really cute and I couldn’t wait.  I took off some time from workContinue reading “Family Fun Day”

She said that Adam was doing great and hadContinue reading “Adam's Portfolio”
