Holy crap, this post will have to be short as I am totally unprepared gift-wise and need to get my rear-end to the mall asap! So without wasting more time, here the pictures that show some of the ways that we have… Read more →
Here in Phuket, Thailand most of the things to do are centered around the ocean and beaches. Diving, snorkeling, boating, and many more things along those lines. There is much more to do in Phuket and I have written about some, you could check out the Phuket Tin Mine Museum, or the Phuket Town Walking Street, or the Aquarium. These… Read more →
This week in Thailand was the Loy Krathong Festival. This is our third year (posts from the archive: year 1, year 2) that we have been in Thailand for this colorful and happy holiday. Loy Krathong is a holiday that the Thai Buddhists adopted from the Brahmans in the late 1800’s. It is always celebrated on the night of the full moon… 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 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. I think the creepiest type of horror… Read more →
The Vegetarian Festival here in Phuket is a 9 day long strange celebration of opera singers being healed from sickness in 1825. The story goes that this opera group was brought in from China to entertain the tin miners living and working in Phuket. The opera troupe became ill and in order to heal from it, they changed their diet… Read more →
Hooray, you’re back! I apologize that my wordiness last week left you all on a cliffhanger, which I truly hate doing. I am going to dive right into the rest of my Moms Night Out in Phuket, make sure to read last week’s post, otherwise some of this may seem completely confusing. I had just finished taking a shower in my amazing… Read more →
I am back and pretty much all healed! I went and saw the doctor earlier this week and he said I could do everything normally, except lift or do any high-intensity exercise. Those things I have to wait a month or two to enjoy, Treadmill here I come for a long low-intensity time of calorie burning! I have decided to take… Read more →
