River rafting in Bali was sensational! On one of the days during our four day stint in Ubud over our Christmas holiday trip to Bali, we went river rafting. It was the first time for the kids, and the river couldn’t have been more spectacular. I am not kidding when I say we took overContinue reading River Rafting in Bali
I always joke that when I get reincarnated and come back to this world I wanna come back Italian. There’s just something about Italians that has always intrigued me. This seed was most likely implanted in the fourth grade Annie (around 1982) when Silvana from Florence, Italy babysat us while my mom and dad wereContinue reading When I Come Back, I Wanna Be Italian

It’s true! I can finally call myself a skater! Gigi gave me Rollerblades for Christmas, and I’m just so excited to be a skater again. My dream of skateboarding has been distracted with these blades and it’s just as well for my physical well-being. I was doomed to crash and burn! I get home fromContinue reading I’m Finally a Skater Girl

Beautiful Bali The last time Kevin and I were in Ubud was 15 years ago. One thing that has not changed with this idyllic local in the mountains of Bali is its beauty. It’s just remarkable. On the other hand, the commerce has definitely increased as has the yoga zeal to the town. Also theContinue reading Beautiful Bali: Part 4, Ubud Rice Fields
One of the very best perks of being a librarian is getting to meet the fantastic authors, poets, and storytellers that stock a library. For the past few days, I’ve been lucky enough to make a new friend in Naomi Shihab Nye. I had always wanted to meet her ever since Shannon introduced me toContinue reading Poet and I Didn’t Know It!
Indian women know jewellery. Oh, doesn’t that country know jewellery! It was amazing to live in India and collect bauble–from roadside trinkets to fine gold, I cherish every treasure I own from India (even the bangles with gems missing). Recently during December, I had such fun making gift guides for the Christmas season I don’tContinue reading Gift Guide: Jewellery for My Maharani Girlfriends
There are a couple of trends I’ve been slow to the take: one of them being graphic tees. I figured out why….when you wear a graphic tee, you’ve got to feel the message. The t-shirt actually says something, so when you wear it you have to remember that you are actually communicating to anyone whoContinue reading Graphic Tees Please

So fashion and style and clothing and shopping and lipstick and necklaces, ok, I better stop! Well, let’s just say all these (frivilous) items are of interest to me. It would only makes sense that when I go to make my goals for 2015 they would center around the above mentioned. Sure, I want toContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Closet Goals for 2015
