A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to have  a special guest in the house. He visited us last year and we were so happy to have him back. It was Rover!  We wanted to make sure Rover got to do everything we love to do!  So first up, our favorite spot- the pool!Continue reading “Showing guests around”

As you all know, because I keep repeating it, Easter is my favorite holiday.  Its fun, means a big dinner with family, no pressure to do anything and you can let your kids eat all the candy in the world guiltfree.  Who can’t get on board with that! The boys were very excited about theContinue reading “Hoppy Easter Everybunny”

We’re so lucky to have made some great friends here in Manila.  They are pretty amazing hosts too.

Randy travels a bit for work.  And while he works a lot I love seeing his pictures when he returns because he always squeezes in some time to see the beauty of the places he’s visiting.  I snuck a few of the best off his phone to share.  The best part about Randy is thatContinue reading “Business Trips”

Fro the past four years that I have been friends with Jackie and Allison we have been talking about going away together.   Well, we finally got our act together and our husband and kids and headed off to the beach!  We headed off to Balesin, a private island close to Manila.  You even getContinue reading “Balesin”

Wow, am I behind. I haven’t even finished our Disney trip way back in January. I know my children will one day want to know that they went to Disney so for posterity here we go.   We decided that since this may be our only trip to Disney for a while, or until ourContinue reading “Dinner with Celebrities”
