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
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
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
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
When we lived in Vancouver I didn’t have a Costco card, but once in a while we wanted something from there. Back in spring 2014 I popped in to the Port Coquitlam location with my sister to take advantage of her membership and purchase some ribs. Of course the lineups were huge, and we waited … More A Story About the Time I Paid for a Stranger’s Costco Purchase & The Ensuing IOU
Why We Travel With Our Baby A retired couple from Montreal sitting next to me in the van from Sanur to Denpasar (read about Campbell’s jet-setting here) seemed astonished by the way we were travelling with Campbell, and even travelling at all. They remarked that they didn’t travel with their kids until the youngest was … More Travel Adventures with Campbell: Part II
Where Our Baby Has Traveled One of the first things we did after Campbell was born was apply for his passport. As I gear up for my next solo Hong Kong to Vancouver flight (eeek!) with Campbell, I can’t help but reflect back on all of the use that passport has gotten during during his … More Travel Adventures with Campbell: Part I
Braden and I do our best to take advantage of all of the long weekends we get here in Hong Kong, and one of the “best” in terms of days off in a row is Chinese New Year. With Monday through Wednesday as government holidays, we took two extra days and jetted off for a … More Ko Lanta, Thailand: A Tale of Bliss & Bedbugs
