Australia: Aquarium and Mr. Wong’s

It rained over night and was expected to rain throughout much of Thursday so we planned to visit the aquarium this day.   Our morning routine was the same.  I took a quickie run after nursing P, going up the steps towards Elizabeth Bay (that we went up the previous morning) and then back home.  It was like doing the stairs in Santa Monica.  Then I made the three of us food – eggs all around.  P napped for his usual 2 hours while I journaled and once he woke up we figured out the… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions.   1. blue monkey coconut chips I got these as a freebie for some educational event I went to, but I know they are sold at Whole Foods as well as mainstream grocers (check the “ethnic foods” aisle).  I really loved them and although they were sweetened, I’d buy them again.  I used them as… Read more >

Australia: Sushi night

Wednesday morning was pretty much the same – family walk to the store to get eggs and bananas, then we cooked and played with P until his morning nap.

Australia: Din Tai Fung Dumplings

Tuesday morning was our most normal sleep schedule yet!  P didn’t stir until 7 am so we slept in and seemed to get on Australian time all the way.  I also didn’t cough all night long.  We went on a family walk after Chris and Laura left for work, just around the neighborhood.  It was so nice outside we couldn’t help but soak it up.  Once we got home we showered and made breakfast for the three of us. P played with the Tupperware some more because he’s obsessed, which tired him out and created… Read more >

Australia: Gardens and Dish

In an effort to stay out of Laura and Chris’ way as they got ready for work, Kyle and I decided to take Patrick out to the beach to occupy him in the early morning hours.  Only Kyle grabbed a hair clip from my purse thinking it was the house key so we ended up locked out and had to wait until Laura got up to let us back in.  So basically we were standing outside the apartment in our PJs looking like homeless idiots for a while.  Really embarrassing.   Kyle and I alternated… Read more >
