The last time, and first time, and until today only time I took a pilates class at my local gym my left leg refused to cooperate. About 30 minutes into the hour long class, I could not lift my leg any more. Even if someone would have said “I will give you $1 million if [...]

Seems today is the day for celebration around the world. In China, we have the Chinese New Year… the year of the OX!! For anyone venturing over to China in 2009, there will definitely be many ox-themed items for you to purchase! I was in china the year of the pig, and saw many cute [...]

Want to know your design style? Take a test here.
They say I’m Swiss Family Robinson. Stuff from everywhere, family friendly and definitely me.

I love trying new recipes, especially international recipes. [...]

Starting tomorrow (or today if you are reading this tomorrow), my Travel From Home blog will look into Brazil. Lots of fun. I changed the format a little bit. Instead of two weeks of concentration, I’m only doing one per destination. But, it’s one week of pure fun!
Fun, you ask? YES! For example, every TUESDAY [...]
