Our Very Ordinary Valentine’s Day in Chiang Mai, Thailand
It’s been a long while since I’ve written here on our blog. Last post I wrote was in December 2011 on Disconnect to Connect in 2012. A lot has happened since then. A more updated summarized version of those months to be written later, but today is Valentine’s Day (well at least it is still … Continue reading
Disconnect to Connect in 2012
In October, we wrote a post about how online overdose is harmful to our family. We tried our best to explain why we disconnected.

Ah, our M. She’s into girly things of couse, like tiaras, wearing a tutu (just asked M how to spell ‘tutu,’ and she looked at my funny and replied, “How would I know?” Love that), etc. Anyway, I like that she’s well rounded (not literally): enjoys running around, playing sports, singing, dancing, and role playing … Continue reading
