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?

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.

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.
