A Bag of Diapers Under My Conference Room Chair…

November 11th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Now that’s  a real sign of a working mother… Today during a break at our conference I had to grab some diapers.  They sat under my chair just about the entire rest of the conference….
It’s been 5 long days of non-stop information overload and learning at the Dan Kennedy Information Summit.  A room full of [...]

“Ta-ra England” and a Very Special Announcement

November 3rd, 2008 · 9 Comments

Tomorrow we leave England for St. Louis.  It’s been a nice visit here in October and we are a bit sad to leave.  Stella and I went to the park for the last time today and said goodbye to the duckies, swans, geese and birds.
We went to visit Cambridge on Saturday as I lived there [...]

Our Favorite Things in Marlow…

October 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Marlow has been a great home away from home the past month.  We’ve actually settled into a bit of a routine here and have some favorite things to do with Stella.
It’s funny as one of the reasons I was looking forward to this trip was an escape from the routine.  But now I’ve found myself [...]

Back to Your Roots.

October 24th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Part of our trip was planned to visit family and friends that we haven’t seen in awhile and especially since we have moved to Vancouver.   While it means we are moving around a lot, it’s been nice to see a lot of friends and family.
This week has been spent visiting Justin’s family and hitting Manchester [...]

Good Food and Good Company…

October 14th, 2008 · No Comments

It’s been a nice week and half in Marlow. We’ve gotten caught up on work and life and have settled back into “the simple life” a bit. Stella even started a mini-childcare for 2 hours today at the local community center. I dropped her off and I could barely get her coat off before she [...]

Beautiful Dubrovnik and Back to Normality…

October 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Of everywhere we visited so far I’d say Durbrovnik was my favorite.  I highly recommend it to anyone who dreams of a Mediterranean get-a-way right out of Conde Nast.  Thanks to Craig we had a gorgeous villa with amazing views.  (Minus the 300+ steps from top to bottom—but we all have strong calves now).
There were [...]

Farewell to Rhodes … and … She WALKS!

September 22nd, 2008 · 3 Comments

Well after all the fun, it had to end.  Greece has been a very nice trip, despite the first few weeks of never ending chaos.  The people are very kind and the island lovely.
We’ve hit all our favorites the last few days and here’s a round up of the best of our family trip:
1.  Villages:
Lardos:  [...]

Not much time left in Greece…

September 20th, 2008 · No Comments

We can hardly believe we’ve been here nearly 5 weeks.  We leave next Wed.  It’s been a really nice trip over all and we’ve experienced a lot of great things and spent some quality time as a family and with our family.
My Dad arrived on Sunday night after a very long flight (and 8 hour [...]

“Are You Rich?”

September 13th, 2008 · No Comments

Yesterday we went to Turkey.  We visited the port town of Marmaris, which is only about 12 KM from the coast of Rhodes.  Marketing for Marmaris is for shopping but I think they need to change their message.  It was a beautiful port town and really nice people.  The shopping wasn’t much and really the [...]

Time Out for Mommy and Daddy…

August 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Finally settling in and doing some sightseeing, having some meals out (we are already tired of Greek food actually and going to likely brave it and try the one Chinese restaurant…) and enjoying our villa pool.
We drove by to see the villa we were supposed to have had yesterday.  Fantastic view, nice garden.  Didn’t get [...]
