Then on Sunday after the Portland Saturday Market we left for Seaside on the coast where we had found a house to rent through Airbnb Here we are inContinue reading Seaside, Oregon
Oh, jet leg is such a bugger. My poor kiddos are now at an age where it really bothers them. For the first time, especially with Vincent, not being able to sleep is playing mind games with the poor guy. I just keep telling them you have to try to turn off your mind andContinue reading Sleepless in Seattle
We’re almost outta here for our summer! This Friday morning the kids and I fly out, and then Kevin will follow next Thursday.

The end of the school year is always packed with all sorts of busy-ness! Goodbyes, celebrations, and festivities centered around finishing the school year are booked solid. I have such a great library team: Maureen, Amy, Laura and I work so well together. To celebrate the ends of our year, we had a ladies’ dateContinue reading Ladies’ Date Night: Iyara, Ted’s Lookout, and Beef & Liberty
This week I’ve rounded up a bunch of different ab challenges. Yep! It’s bikini season–yikes!! In anticipation of sitting on my dock in the (hopeful) sun out at Spirit Lake, I need to do some serious ab exercises. I’ve been looking online and have found Pinterest to have the best search. Here are the abContinue reading Ab Challenge Roundup
One of the really cool things about writing this blog and “Getting the Best Out of Hong Kong” is sometimes I get invites to different events happening. This last weekend Found the Sound there was a sidewalk concert held outside of Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay. After a hot day that included both kayaking andContinue reading Found the Sound at Fashion Walk
I feel really hopeful about this summer. I could be jinxing myself….but I feel like it could be a really nice summer out at the lake. Usually when we go home to our lake cabin in Northern Idaho, I’m in a pair of cozy Uggs through all of June and parts of July, but thisContinue reading Summer Shorts
With outfitting Gigi in a white dress for her First Holy Communion, it meant I had my eyes peeled for the perfect white dress each time I went out. It’s only predictable that I found one a sundress version for myself; I liked the bohemian flow to this one. Paired with my little brown bootiesContinue reading White Sundress
J.Crew is now in Hong Kong! We have all been able to purchase J.Crew online since they will ship to Hong Kong, and we’ve all been able to visit the small little section at Lane Crawford, but now we can go to two very distinct J.Crew stores. The woman’s store is in the IFC MallContinue reading Thank You J.Crew!
This past Saturday was a very special day. Both Gigi and Vincent received their First Holy Communion. One neat aspect of living in Hong Kong has been able to join a parish again. Both Kevin and I were raised Catholic, went to parochial schools and Jesuit high schools. Since leaving our hometowns and setting outContinue reading Saturday’s Best
The end of the school year is always so busy, and unfortunately our Date Nights have been a bit neglected. Granted, Prom from last Friday night could almost count as a date night–almost. A few weeks ago though we did manage to treat ourselves to a night out: we went to a secret, somewhat undergroundContinue reading Date Night: 001 and Souvla
It’s been awhile since I’ve been completely fixated on a fashion items, but I want more slip-ons! I already own and frequently wear three pairs of slip-ons: I’ve got my black and white checkered Vans, my leopard skin, and my perforated white ones. Yet, I’m already on the hunt for more. They are the mostContinue reading Fashion Fixation: Slip-ons
