The States had their three day weekend and now it’s our turn for an extended break in honor of a king’s birthday (right there with you, UK! Well, kinda). We’re leaving the concrete ...
I think my sister was onto something when she gave me this little jade color elephant last year. While it’s not the real deal, I still like to believe that it holds the jade stone’s spiri...
May we always do our best to wake up on the right side of the bed :) Do you have any quotes that help you get going the morning? Remember, you’re invited to submit them here – I’d l...
I love toast. I make toast over open fires. I make toast in frying pans but Ironically, I haven’t had a toaster in over two years and now I do, courtesy of our sweet new flat in Kuala Lumpur. &...
Hello, how was your weekend? If you’re reading from the States then I hope you’re still enjoying the extended break today! We did a lot of lounging and good eating but the best part was o...
Ahh…the weekend. I’m feeling so much better now that we’re officially back online and able to take care of business (like booking our first getaway to Penang next month!). Thank you...
I was in such a funk yesterday with domestic matters. I was tired with the lack of internet in our apartment and annoyed that our bed linens had to be ironed because the two-in-one washer/dryer does ...
I’ve been feeling really inspired by the native plants and trees of the city as well as the incredibly awesome thunderstorms that keep it all lush. Definitely a nice reminder of nature’s ...
On Saturday we ventured out to one of the city’s oldest areas, Chow Kit, and visited the local market. A guide book that we have described it as “the real Malaysia” and if you take ...
Hi, how was your weekend? Ours was good but I’m happy that it’s Monday and that all of the above arrived safe as promised. It was so nice to have the movers bring the boxes in and unpack ...
I’ve been working with a wardrobe of ten or so pieces for the last three weeks and you know what, it hasn’t been half bad. Now I’m wondering what I’m going to do when my entir...
While we wait for our stuff to arrive (ten days airfreight was such a lie) I made this simple graphic print with dry transfer sheets that I found at a local art supplies shop. It’s amazing how ...
I had a moment of homesickness yesterday after being disappointed by a disgusting packet of string cheese. Silly how the smallest things can set you off but it happens. I then started to think about ...
…for a while at least. Here are some shots from our recent trips to Paris and Brussels. They feel like worlds away now! Hover over each image for a dot to appear, then hover over the dot for ph...
Hello, I hope you had a good weekend. We did move into our new apartment after all and though that was very exciting, the highlight was definitely this taxi ride home. Nik, the driver and MC extraord...
Happy Friday, everyone! Today I’m introducing a new post, Friday Pic & Pin, where I get a little creative with the post-editing of an original snap and pair it with a favorite pin from my P...
We’ve been all over the place this past month so for May’s soundtrack I’m going international and indulging in a bit (or a lot) of wanderlust. I don’t understand most of the w...
This one goes out to my beautiful family who has always shown me that it’s never too early or too late to try something new. We’re each going through our own unique “re-births”...
Just a few things that are making our temp apartment feel like home. We wouldn’t dream of leaving our friend Erl tucked away in a box and Joe couldn’t be without his favorite whisky. Reco...
Hello hello! How have you been? It’s good to be back…writing, sharing, catching up. We arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday morning and despite having the airline lose one of six checked b...
This photo was taken during one of my first ventures out in London just a year ago. Everything was so new and unfamiliar then but now the city feels like an old friend - it’s home. I used to th...
This is Palmy, our beloved palm plant that we bought at three feet tall. It is well on it’s way to reaching Joe’s wish of ten feet but unfortunately we won’t be here to see it fully...
I don’t normally post more than once per day but in case you missed my tweets last week, here is my latest DIY for Poppytalk. I’m very happy to report that the little guy is holding up gr...

KL seemed to be all about contrast – modern skyscrapers towering over old rain trees and state of the art shopping centers next door to traditional street hawker stands. With cold and gloomy sk...
Hi everyone! I missed you and the blog but I’m back for my last week in London. KL was great and we accomplished what we set out to do which was find a new apartment…I can’t wait to...
Wow – thank you so much for the awesome dose of love, enthusiasm and support for yesterday’s news! I seriously can’t wait to continue sharing, learning, and growing with you all. As...
Yep, this is the big announcement I’ve been mentioning – just as we mark our one year anniversary in London we’re packing up again and moving to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! We might as ...
Our trip to Florence and Chianti was somewhat of a love and hate one. We hated the rain and cold that prevented us from leisurely strolling along but loved the excuse that it gave us to picnic in the...
Salute! I hope you had a good Easter weekend. We got back into London last night and with a ton of work and planning to get started on (big announcement coming up), a trip roundup will have to wait u...
