What another amazing “Staycation” in Beijing as we continue to balance the desire to hop on an airplane and travel during the kids school breaks with staying put and exploring the city we live in. There is sooooo much to see and do around Beijing and it’s been such a blast uncovering more and more […]
Whirlwind weekend in Bangkok!
When our kids school announced a swim meet in Bangkok, Thailand I was like wait, what?! This is insane. But then I realized what an opportunity! So we signed Ava up and added bonus our dear friends from our time in KL now live in Bangkok so we would be able to spend time with […]
The 2nd half of our CNY took us to Singapore, a quick 45 minute flight from Kuala Lumpur where we started our celebrations. We just love Singapore, you can view some posts I made about previous trips by clicking here. I think we’ve been there maybe a few more times than what I wrote, […]

The Great Wall of China at Mutianyu
We surprised the kids with a 2 night stay at the The Brickyard Retreat at Mutianyu for the 2 nights leading up to Christmas and wow it did not disappoint. This portion of the Great Wall that is closest to Beijing is only an hour and 15 min or so away. Talk about convenience! There was […]
Chengdu- Pandas, Peppers, and Buddhas oh my!
Well here I am again, massively delayed in writing this post. I won’t say I am sorry because man it’s just been hectic, as we moved into our new apartment for the next 2-3 years and all the things that go along with that, which led straight into the Christmas Season. Phew.
All that to […]

A reflection: Our 1yr Anniversary of Repatriating to the USA
It’s astounding to think that just over 1 year ago we were arriving into the Indianapolis airport from our big move across the world in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia the Thursday before Memorial Weekend, with 2 very tired kids in tow, and us as aching parents from a long 30+ hour journey. How […]
