And the little one said “Move over”…
Parenting teens (and preteens) can be incredibly frustrating. My two have gotten to this phase where they don’t want to be in the same house at the same time. If one’s at mom’s house, the other wants to stay at dad’s. While it’s summer, we’ll put up with this crap, but once school starts again, [...]
Being a Stepmom in Peru
Image by fnnkybutt via Flickr I’ve always liked kids. I spent a large part of my adulthood working with kids. My friends’ kids all loved me, and the feeling was mutual. However, I never had my own kids. I married late, and it just wasn’t something I ever got around to, although it was always [...]
My Life in Peru Visits Chosica
Yesterday was a really fun day for us. My kid’s school had their annual Spring field trip, which is a pretty standard thing with most of the schools here. We went to a “centro campestre” in Chosica, which I’ll explain a bit better down below. There were three other school groups there that I saw [...]
To Forgive and Forget
August, it seems, is a month for forgiving. Various organizations have deemed that the first Sunday in August be called ‘International Forgiveness Day,’ while the 27th of this month is ‘Global Forgiveness Day.’ That’s a whole lot of forgiving to do in one month, but if you’re like me, you probably have a lot of [...]
Happy Fiestas Patrias!
Image via Wikipedia Today is Independence Day in Peru. The 28th of July celebrates the anniversary of the proclamation of independence made by General Jose de San Martin in 1821. It’s celebrated in a lot of different ways around the country, and here in Lima. Flags are flown (by law!) on each and every house, [...]
A Day in the Life
You might think living in Peru is exotic and exciting, with adventure around every corner – but the reality is that most of the time, my life here isn’t much different from what it might be if we were living back in Florida. Normally, my life goes along pretty well. Hubs goes to work, I [...]
World Cup Fever in Lima
My sister, Suzi, is a huge soccer fan. And since she’s been here, it’s pretty much been World Cup Crazy in my house. I’m not a person who likes to get out of bed early, but I’ve been up in time to watch these 9am games all week! My husband, of course, is a futbol [...]
Gourmet Hamburgers? Yum.
I love a good hamburger, and I just ran across some AMAZING gourmet hamburger ideas. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, which is a restaurant chain I’ve never heard of, has a annual gourmet burger recipe competition. The recipes are said to be created by kids, but with recipes like the Pina Colada Fish Burger and The [...]
Get Some Free Diaper Samples
Image via Wikipedia I know this doesn’t have much to do with Peru, but, hey, I’m a mommy blogger too – and sometimes I come across some free stuff on the ‘net that I think is good to share with other moms who might read my blog. I’m not making money for this – just [...]
Parque de la Amistad
This past Saturday, my mom and I took my nephew and my son Chino to a lovely park in Surco called Parque de la Amistad (Friendship Park). I’ve been wanting to take the boys for ages and having my mom here gave us a perfect opportunity. The centerpiece of the park is the Arco de [...]

About
I got tired of life happening while I made other plans, so I quit my job and came to Peru. I live here with my Peruvian husband, two sons, three dogs and various other family members, depending on the weather.
