The whining has escalated to such an extent in the Krembs’ family that we’ve had to go to extreme measures. If anyone of us whines, we have to pay a Rupee to the Whine Bowl. The other options were a little slap to the mouth (Gigi cried on that one), the item or setting isContinue reading Pay Up for Whining
The New Dear Librarian
I have been a busy blogger over here! The new look of Kremb de la Kremb simply happened because I was also changing up the educational blog I write called Dear Librarian. In China, Edublogs is blocked and so is Tumblr. I was using both of these services to publish this blog and theContinue reading The New Dear Librarian
Parasol Play
One never can guess which toys or objects of desire will capture a child’s fancy. Little did Kevin and I know what mileage these parasols would get. We bought them with the intention of maybe using as a light shade for Gigi’s room next year. We picked out two–just in case one worked better thanContinue reading Parasol Play
Jaipur’s Beauty
Jaipur–and all of Rajasthan–have a magical way of taking one back in time. It wasn’t difficult for me to imagine being a princess amongst all the grandeur. I chose some of the best pictures from our trip to highlight Jaipur’s beauty. (Please excuse the poor quality of pictures. It’s time to get a new camera–andContinue reading Jaipur’s Beauty
Animal Count
Whenever we go to Rajasthan, we play a little game: we count the animals we’ll see. We can always count on camels and hopefully elephants, monkeys too, maybe a peacock, some pigs, of course we don’t count cows. Here’s the tally: Camels–62 Elephants–20 Peacock–1 Donkeys–8 Monkeys–we stopped counting when we saw over 17 inContinue reading Animal Count
MaharAnnie’s B-day Gifts
So, we were packing up to go to Jaipur tomorrow morning–early, like 4:30 am. Our flight leaves at 5:50. As we were packing, Gigi, came up to me first: Here, Mommy, you’ll need this. Then Vincent followed, And you’ll need this one too. And then Kevin, Here have this one also. They each had pickedContinue reading MaharAnnie’s B-day Gifts
The Raj Travel Bag is Going to Jaipur
I’ve had my eye on this bag–like forever! I finally bought if for myself this month–it’s February, and I felt spending a bit of frivolous money on myself would be ok. Plus, with four months–wait less than four months (that makes me frown–I love this place!) left in India, I thought this would be theContinue reading The Raj Travel Bag is Going to Jaipur
Buenas Dias MK!
Hi Mary Kelly! Does this work in China? I hope so. Hope you had a great weekend!
Christmas in Thailand with Mom and Dad, Kate and Adrian, Brian and Jen
We were so lucky this Christmas to be able to meet up with so many family members in such an idyllic spot: Thailand! First, we met up with Adrian and Kate in Bangkok for just a couple of nights before we headed out to Krabi with them. Then with the lovebirds, we met my momContinue reading Christmas in Thailand with Mom and Dad, Kate and Adrian, Brian and Jen
Scarves
Vincent is beside himself with excitement to move to Beijing! The most interesting prospect for him is the weather. He cannot wait to be cold! (Little does he know that this excitement will last approximately 2.2 seconds!) At any rate, last night when we sat down to the table, he was wearing the scarf SantaContinue reading Scarves

Gigi’s Christmas Concert
Here’s our little Gigi before her performance. She’s been so excited. I’m glad despite the fact that this concert was supposed to be held at the Hyatt, we were still able to have the holiday concert at school. It was fabulous and just as touching on campus. Gigi rocked! Can you spot the LuiGigi!? WithContinue reading Gigi’s Christmas Concert
