I have always been scared of Disney Parks. This might sound crazy but maybe it stems from the fact that I’ve never been to one. My boyfriend took me to Universal when I was 23, does that count? But the thought of waiting on line for an hour with my two small children just didn’tContinue reading “Is it really a mouse or a man in a costume?”

Every time we go to Hong Kong I’m reminded how much I love it. It’s greenness, modernness, good food get me every time.  But I’m sure the real reason I love it so much is because I get to see Kate, her two adorable kids and stay at Kate’s comfy house, where she feeds usContinue reading “I ❤ You HK”

Adam and Malcolm’s school celebrates birthdays with a birthday walk around the sun. I’m sure I’ve talked about it before. This is one of those school traditions that I really enjoy more every year we’re at this school.  The parents bring in photos of the birthday boy (or girl) from every year of their littleContinue reading “3 Times Around the Sun”

I love the tree, the lights, giving presents, the warm tingly feeling I get when I hear Ave Maria.  Now it’s even better because on top of all those tingly feelings, I get to see Adam and MalcolmContinue reading “The Most Magical Time”

There are countless amazing things about living a Foreign Service life and working at the Embassy, but one of my favorite is that when we take the kids to see Santa it’s at the Ambassador’s house!  One of the things I do at the Embassy is social media and since the Ambassador had a tweetContinue reading “Santa and the Ambassador”

Adam and Malcolm go to the best school.  Every semester their teachers put together a super cute show. For the past several school performances Malcolm has been not interested in performing, until this years Christmas Dance Party. Then this year happened. His teachers sent all the  parents an email telling them the class was performingContinue reading “Christmas Dance Party”

Adam got some wonderful presents from family and friends.  But this, this right here was the gold star winner.  Adam’s friend Christine gave him a block of dirt…sounds exciting right? But inside were dinosaur bones! Adam spend hours digging out the bones and then we put them together.
