#953 Ski Champions - 2024 ⛷️❄️🎿

So proud of this big guy!!! Feels like it was just yesterday when I was holding him in my arms and now he’s skiing down black diamonds and winning medals as part of his Junior Youth League for skiing!!! Time really flies.

#952 Cooking adventure in Thailand 🌶️🇹🇭👩🏻‍🍳

Greetings 2024 and hello as we enter into a new year and embrace new adventures! Here are some photos from my recent excursion to Thailand — fabulous girls’ trip replete with fond memories and many many new experiences.  Here are some snippets from our cooking adventures at the Pimalai Hotel on the Island (or Kho, as they would say in Thai, of Lhan — aka “Kho Lhan” in nearby Krabi).  More to come on this! We made some fantastically tasty (and seemingly simple) recipes such as Tom Yum Shrimp, Papaya Salad, and Green Curry with Seabass.  Yum! 

#951 Date night in Milano Navigli 🇮🇹💕

This tip to visit Navigli (canal district) came from my ex boss (whose wedding we’ll be attending later this week!).  We strolled by the canals, had really yummy food at a local spot, followed by rose pedal gelato by Amorino (who can resist) — all in all a fab evening before we went and saw the New Zealand Raggae band “Fat Freddy” in action!! It was only our first day here in Italy, but thus far Milan has been good to us 🇮🇹💕

#949 NYFW 2023 — Jason Wu

February has come and go (and is nearly at an end)… one of the things that hubby has noted to me is that I ought to try and reach back into my old self and rekindle all the things that I derive joy from.  Life can get in the way you see, and our priorities shift and scatter in multiple directions.  

If you follow my blog you would know that, once an upon a time, this mamma would gallivant all across town and attend fashion shows and press events and the like. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t miss it entirely… but I do miss the idea of it.

Plus, let’s face it, it’s all just delicious and delightful and good old fashioned fun (pun intended).  Who can get mad when they’re staring into the face of beauty? Such as the ethereal and classic works of Jason Wu (did you know he majored in men’s wear??).  The clean lines, the muted palates, the fluidity of his fabric -man’s the way he pieces together different textures.  Swoon swoon.  I wish I had the budget to dip into some of these pieces, but then I’d have to alter my lifestyle with respect to my kids’ extracurriculars and we all know how that goes.  So for now, I shall opt to admire all of this from afar…. 

#948 NASTAR Ski Racing 🎿❄️

Proud of my little men who did their very first ski-racing last Sunday!

This is just their first time (and mamma had to climb up half a mountain just to see them race).  That said, may there be many more!!! We’re looking forward to lots of these fun competitions for the boys to hone their skills.  I still can’t believe that just two h years ago these guys were starting to take lessons and getting their first skis fitted, and now they’ve become such confident little skiers! 🎿❄️✨

#946 Needle Felting Owl Workshop 🪡 🧶🦉

Crafting in the mountains!! Just the other day we made a family of needle-felted owls today 🧶🪡🦉 — planning on sending it to Grandma in New Zealand since she loves owls!!! P.S. Needle felting is super therapeutic! We’re all fans ❤️

Little man even proudly showed off his new skills in school in February and told his friends all about the joys of needle felting! Life is full of these new experiences and learning opportunities that we ought to always embrace.
