In Washington State there’s an onion that grows in Walla Walla that can actually be eaten as an apple. It’s a sweet onion that is bursting with flavors. While I personally have never eaten a Walla Walla Sweet like an apple, I know people who do, and they love them. My family also loves thisContinue reading Recipe: Grandma Soogie’s Cucumber and Walla Walla Sweets
Last week I started telling a bit about the history of our cabin on Spirit Lake, Idaho. While we’re out here enjoying the beauty of this magical spot for our family, I would like to try to capture some of the special spots within the cabin that carry so many of our memories. As mentionedContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: The Family Room
When you pull up to our cabin, you can recognize ours as the second cabin–the one with the red roof. Our cabin is part of a housing development from the 1920s. The elite of Spokane used to use this area for their outings, hence the name, Tessemini Outing Club. I refer so much online andContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: A History
The school year 2014-2015 ended for us in June with the summer starting! Immediately after finishing up, the kids and I headed home with Kevin following a week later. We spent a week with my folks and then a week with Kevin’s. For the last weekend in June, I hosted a baby shower with myContinue reading June Instagram @KrembdelaKremb: Vol 6
This is one of my favorite pics from last summer. It’s from a dinner date at our local pizza joint out at Spirit Lake. Here’s the original post. School just ended! The kids are at a friend’s house swimming. The teachers here at work will celebrate the end of year with a party this afternoon.Continue reading Summer Plans, 2015
Summer reading is the best! There are hours in the day that can just be spent reading. I love my summer reading and look forward to it with a yearning. I’ll be reading all summer long: I can read in the car on the road trip between Spokane and Seattle, there’s my lovely cabin porchContinue reading {Potential} Summer Reading List, 2015
It’s true: I was a Rebel in Arabia. Recently I was interviewed by a student since she was interested in the time that I had spend in Saudi Arabia. I love telling stories, and in talking with Rachel a ton of memories were sparked. Following is her lovely article about me–it actually brought tears toContinue reading Rebel in Arabia
A while ago, when we had the most fantastic trip to Bali in October, I realized I should start sharing some of Kevin’s expertise in the form of his travel tips. He’s an expert at figuring out our travels, and we do travel quite a bit. Lately, he’s been busy at it lately figuring outContinue reading Kevstar Travel Tips: Vol #2, Airline Ticketing
We made it to Yunnan! Usually, our family trips consist of idyllic beaches found around Asia: for example this year we went to Bali in October and December and then Boracay in February. Beach trips are just easy; everyone’s happy. But, sometimes it’s important for the four of us to venture out of our comfortContinue reading Adventure Travel in Yunnan: Lijiang and Shangrila, China
Rooftop dancing to the kids drumming was a late afternoon activity for us pretty much each day during our recent adventure travel to Lijiang, China. We had an awesome little room at such a sweet quaint hotel. It had an open loft with two large twin beds for the kids up above. In the mainContinue reading Rooftop Dancing to the Drums
Well….this past trip to Lijiang, China was absolutely fantastic! Don’t get me wrong. But in terms of being stylish, this is one of my least successful Style Stories. I thought I had packed well, but in the end I was just freezing most of the time, scraping together all my layers just to stay warm.Continue reading Style Story: I Lose All Style When Cold
On my most recent trip to Lijiang, China, I made a self discovery: I love bags! I really can’t get enough of them. I already own so many bags: clutches and totes, embroidered and beaded, straw and leather. Yet, when I’m traveling and in the markets of a destination, I am just drawn to allContinue reading I Can’t Get Enough Bags!
