Fun at Home
One of the things my mom and sister turned us on to when they visited is Mexican Train Dominoes. We all love to play, because we’re all so competitive – it can get pretty cut throat! So, we have a set of the dominoes here, and last night we drug them out to play. We [...]
Can’t Trust That Day
I woke up about three minutes before the alarm went off this morning. Don’t you HATE it when that happens? I went ahead and got out of bed, and let the guys sleep in a few minutes more while I started getting things ready and fed the dogs. I woke up Chato so he could [...]
The First Day of School
Finally! Or.. not finally, it more or less snuck up on us. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been telling my husband he needs to stop by the school and get the information on when classes start. (I’ve stepped out of dealing with the school on important matters – that’s a whole different story) [...]
Sending Kids to School in Lima
In the Southern hemisphere, summer break is just about over and the kids will be starting up school soon. If you haven’t already got yours enrolled, you need to hurry! By this time, a lot of the best schools will already be full – or so they’ll say. I haven’t run across a school yet [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
So, another romantic holiday has come, and once again the Hubs and I aren’t doing anything about it. Well, not exactly. We might not have any big plans for dinner or dancing, it’s true. But this morning, I was awakened with a kiss and a “Happy Valentine’s Day”. And he brought me a chocolate bar [...]
We Meet Alianza Lima!
It was an exciting weekend here around our place. Everyone’s favorite soccer team, Alianza Lima, played a game in Argentina and arrived back here in Lima on Saturday night. Now, I am not a soccer fan. I don’t know why they played in Argentina, or what the score was – I don’t even know if [...]
Five Cool Down Summer Activities in Lima
Summer is my favorite time in Lima. It’s been cold and foggy for so long and didn’t really start getting sunny until about two weeks ago, yet I’m already hearing people complaining about the heat – even though the daily high is only about 77F! Whether you feel like it’s hot out there or not, [...]
Adjusting as an Expat – Putting it all Together
Moving to a different country – whether for work, school, love or just adventure – is not something to be taken lightly. A recent thread on the Expat Peru forum makes that abundantly clear. Another thing that post makes clear is the fact that everyone adapts to a new life at their own speed – [...]
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, [...]
Backscratchers and Toothbrushes
My husband is way more romantic than I am. He’s one of those super sweet kind of guys that’s always looking for little ways to show me he loves me – like bringing me a little chocolate when he comes home late at night from work. We have sort of an informal understanding that we [...]

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.
