It has been literally hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement here in Phuket the two months. There was a Facebook post from the local English newspaper, Phuket Gazette (shared in April) that someone actually cracked an egg on her balcony and it cooked, albeit it took 5 hours, but still…! It’s hotter than Hades I tell you! Well, maybe… Read more →
Okay, so my title is a bit of an exaggeration. No, not the Songkran part, the picture. Just this past week, on April 13th, the Thai New Years Songkran Festival went on in all its awesome glory. What I exaggerated about was the no pictures. The past two years (read about them here and here) I strived to get some… Read more →
2016! Happy New Year! It’s here! A new year! A new start… and supposedly it should be way more futuristic, right?!

You may not know this, but one of the things that… Read more →
A few weeks ago Z was invited to a birthday party at Splash Jungle Water Park here in Phuket. As it is for every mom in the world, part of the annoyance fun of being a parent is getting to go to other children’s birthday parties! No, but seriously, this birthday party I was actually pretty excited about. I am… Read more →
I have mentioned Kata beach a few times in my blog, most recently, I stayed near this beach for my Moms Night Out. Kata Beach is considered one of the more touristy beaches here on the island of Phuket. And it is with good cause. It is one of my favorite and I believe it to be one of the… Read more →
I have to say, I think this post is perfect in it’s timing. Halloween has just come and gone. Though this holiday is often equated with kids trick or treating, fun parties, and the inevitable parent tax on every bag of candy, it is also a day to celebrate horror and scare ourselves.
