WOW – the past few months have been a whirlwind and the love for Josephine across the world is growing as fast as she is. All things considering, Bill and I are doing ok. Some days are harder than others but all in all, once the shock subsided and since we had our first meeting…
An angel in the making – we need your prayers
Please note – the first part of this blog post was drafted last week and the second part was drafted today. Please read the whole post. My blog presence has been pretty sleepy over the past few months – which is pretty much a reflection of how I have been. I have been sleeping lots…
#WhatIWoreSunday Volume 6 & 7 #blogjune
I’ve really dropped the ball with #blogjune – I have been so busy. I hope to catch up a bit now. 🙂 In this double post for What I Wore Sunday, it was funny to see pretty much the same outfit but a week apart! Volume 6 – I love love love this blouse! It…
Leaps and Bounds… #blogjune

Custard Scrolls… enough said! #blogjune

Nearing the end… #blogjune
This year, I am hitting a major milestone in my journey as a kind-of-American. I am nearing my five year anniversary of entering the country. Can you believe it has gone by SO quickly? It only feels like yesterday that the got the envelope with “You have won a Green Card!” in the mail. Because…
