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
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…if we hadn’t moved to Hong Kong, there is no chance we would be living in a small apartment, especially now as a family of three. Our former Vancouver digs – 800 sq ft one bedroom place (see photos of that here) was never going to cut … More Hong Kong House Sizes
As many of you have read, we’ve enjoyed living in a tiny, cozy apartment here in Hong Kong. A while back I shared our little slice of Canada that we created in 440 square feet (if you missed it, read up: here). Knowing we were expecting a baby we needed somewhere with a bit more space and began … More Our New *Larger Hong Kong Apartment
The finishing touches are FINALLY in place and we’re feeling completely settled in our Hong Kong home! A few things took a bit longer than we anticipated – the last little things always seem to drag on forever – but we’re finally organized and not coming home to a list of to-do’s. Hooray! My strategy … More Hong Kong Apartment: Our Canadiana Haven
When I was packing I was didn’t have a succinct mission statement. I just looked at every single item we owned and asked myself whether we will really really really need this in Hong Kong? If yes, does it have multiple uses? Did we use it a lot in Vancouver? Do we like it? Will … More Hong Kong Apartment: Useful & Beautiful
Movers arrived on Thursday last week after weeks and months of anticipation (read about it here)! One hour later the movers were gone, and our place looked like this: I was still at work later that day when I got a text, “OMG. So much stuff!!!!” Braden had just walked in the door and, as expected, was a bit … More Hong Kong Apartment: The Great Unpack
It was a big day in Vancouver back on March 9th. After all the planning and packing, it was finally moving day. The relocation contract covered packing, moving and shipping a container full of our belongings (which I’m sure we didn’t fill), so on the last day of possession of our New Westminster apartment a team … More Hong Kong Apartment: The Container Arrives
Back in February I flew to Hong Kong for three days – what a whirlwind trip! My primary goals were to attend interviews and hopefully narrow down my employment options, and also hunt for an apartment with Braden. Both objectives were necessary for me to be there in person, but I didn’t have much time. … More Hong Kong Apartment: Hunting + Planning
