Has another year passed? No, seriously….has it? What did we do in 2021? Last year I wrote a recap of our Year in 2020 (which you can read here if you missed it) and finished by saying 2021 would get better. I’m not sure it did. We kicked off 2021 by celebrating our dear Felicity’s … More 2021: Year in Review
If you have followed along on our Hong Kong housing, you’ll remember our first little place (see it here) in Wan Chai and then the larger unit in that same building (see it here), which we moved in to when I was pregnant with Campbell. You might remember that I mentioned in my 2019 Review … More Tseung Kwan O Apartment Tour
We’ve got another year living in Hong Kong behind us, and when I say living…we really lived here this year. While 2020 started as an exciting new adventure as a family of four, it soon became vastly different than we (or anyone) could have ever imagined. My parents arrived Christmas morning (2019), and it was … More 2020: A Year in Review
If you need a catch up on our life, settle in for a lengthy post here before delving into baby details. If you’re more excited about the BIGGEST NEWS, an obvious giveaway in the title of this post, carry on! As I mentioned in my last post (here), Braden and I were very excited to … More Felicity’s Birth Story
Well here were are, over 30% of the way through 2020 and I’m still trying to summarize 2019. I was an absolute blur of a year full of changes and confusions; maybe I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that happened.
Braden and I have a formula that we love, now that we’re travelling with a toddler. We avoid staying in hotels because there’s just not enough space. Campbell is used to sleeping in his own dark room and, typically, the only equivalent in a hotel room is the bathroom. That leave either me, Braden, or … More Everything We Learned When Our Airbnb Caught On Fire
No surprises here…our little toddler’s lifestyle (can you believe Campbell is TWO now?!) is demanding a few changes around our place. When we decided to upgrade from our previous one bedroom apartment I wondered how well and for how long our two bedroom, two bathroom space would work for us. I’m happy to report that we … More Hong Kong Apartment: Recent Changes
Hosting friends at our place ticks a lot of boxes for us. We enjoy preparing food for others to enjoy, it’s a nice break from eating out (the Hong Kong norm), and selfishly…when we host at our place we can still hang out with friends with a contented sleeping baby in the next room. It … More How We Host a Dinner Party in 590 Sq Ft
Now on his second passport (the first one issued was only good for two years) Campbell is collecting stamps like a pro. We continue to prioritize travelling with our busy toddler and the sentiments I wrote about here, explaining why we travel with a little one, continue to hold true. Building on last year’s travels, Campbell … More Where Our Toddler Has Traveled
Back in January we planned a weekend getaway to Vietnam. Having stayed in Hong Kong for Christmas (which you can read about here), we were really ready to do some travelling in January! Braden had been to Hội An previously for a golf trip, back when I was pregnant, and said that I would love it … More Ten things to do in Hội An, Vietnam with a Toddler
