I don’t like packing. At all. Just ask my mother about when I started packing the first time we went to Thailand for 7 months, or about the time I went to live in Liberia for 2 months… Ha! I don’t start packing until a few hours before, and I pack until the moment I [...]

Who knew I would be spending my Monday packing up what lies within the cabinets in my kitchen.  Who knew I would be sorting through the things I have come to hold dear, deciding what will be kept and what will be sold in the yard a couple of weeks from now. Who knew this [...]

So, we’re currently going through a redesign of our site and blogs, and have also been travelling like crazy.  Please do check back as we hope to have the redesign and updating finished before we leave for Thailand – hopefully about 5 weeks from now.  Sorry we’re so boring at the moment… but, trust me, [...]

Here it is, our little Charlie Brown tree, inherited from my older brother, in all of its beautiful glory. Have you put up your tree up yet?

It is my last chance to decorate… I mean, really decorate for Christmas. Why?

Will it even really seem like Christmas, as I’ve always [...]

Because that may as well be me… well, minus the awesome hat and neckbow. And while I do wear an apron, I could only dream of sporting such stripes… I am a proud worker of Viking Foods deli and meat department this summer, and I love every minute of it. I can point out, recommend, [...]
