We were invited to a Holiday Bazaar at the international school here in our city. We were told it would be a fun day with lots of “familiar” things and people who speak English! So we decided to take the 45 minute bus ride with the kiddos. They did well – despite 1 local person […]
My my my. . . I’m having a very hard time posting here in EA! I’m thankful for our internet after 1 month without it, but I haven’t been able to upload any videos. Actually it took about 2 days for these 3 pictures to finally upload. Hoping it will get better!! I want this […]

Traffic from my taxi window Caden doesn’t mind that there are no carseats here. . . Mommy tries to avoid taxis for this reason. Happy baby While Caden […]

I think Chick-Fil-A is just top notch when it comes to being a fun and family friendly place to eat! Tuesday they had bounce houses, games, popcorn, cotton candy, and a clown with balloon figures and face painting – whaaat? The kids LOVED it.
