Heidelberg Playground Tour

6 / 14 / 157 / 16 / 15

Since it’s Sunday today and most everything is closed on Sundays in Heidelberg, we decided to make today a bit of a playground tour day – a day filled with walking, exploring, playing, and visiting a few of our favourite playgrounds in the neighbourhood we stayed in during our first Christmas here.

Our Easter {2015}

4 / 6 / 154 / 8 / 15

With it being spring break currently, this year’s Easter fun was sort of spread out over several days to accommodate meet-ups with friends and some planned family outings.  Not that Miss G minded one bit…  I’m pretty sure she would have continued the celebration all week long if she could! ☺

An Easter Egg Hunt With Friends

4 / 5 / 154 / 8 / 15

photo 2 - Version 2

Ahh… Such a great morning!  Some very good friends of ours here in Kuwait hosted an Easter egg hunt / party for the munchkins in our play school co-op and it was fantastic.  After meeting up at their house and getting a group photo of all of the munchkins {so cute!} and then one of each mom with her littles, we headed to a nearby nursery for an egg hunt.  There was grass(!), greenery(!), and a beautiful kept playground(!), and the kids had an absolute blast working as a team to find all 100 eggs left by the Easter Bunny.  After we were all sufficiently sunned and sweaty, we headed back to the house where the kids traded in their eggs for prizes and the host treated us all to a delicious brunch.  It was a wonderful morning and I’m so thankful to have our family of friends here to celebrate with while we’re away from our families back home in Canada.  {It goes without saying that it’ll be very sad to say goodbye to them come June, but I’m currently in denial about all impending goodbyes. ☹}

Our Last Day with Grandma Charlotte

4 / 2 / 154 / 8 / 15

When you live in Kuwait, you don’t get all that many visitors.  For our families, it’s pretty much on the opposite side of the world, and it is Kuwait after all…  I know that sounds bad, but I don’t mean that in a negative way.  I’m truly happy that we’ve spent 6 years here and living in the Middle East has afforded us plenty of luxuries and opportunities to see the world {hello, Italy, Ireland, Thailand, France, and Germany}, but if we’re being honest, Kuwait is simply not a place that is high on many people’s ‘to see’ list.

This Girl

I just turned nineteen and this girl needed a fake id to go out with my older friends to the bars near my college and not sit alone at the dorm. Around campus everyone who is under 21 has a fake identification and told me they bought it online from idgod. I figured with this many great endorsements I would buy from id god too. When my order arrived I was thrilled looking over the card quality. My ID card is impeccable and an identical replica of a real identification card. I can tell my readers idgod fake id is the best you can buy.

Friday Fun

2 / 27 / 153 / 5 / 15

Today, after a morning at home that started out really well and ended quite poorly, we got a last minute invitation to join some friends at the Hilton before heading to their place for dinner.  I {being me} was beginning to go absolutely stir crazy and needed to get out of the apartment, so I jumped at the opportunity, prepared a salad and a veggie tray with homemade dip, and had us all packed up and ready to go in 35 minutes.  I’m so glad I said yes.  It turned out to be an absolutely lovely afternoon filled with sunshine, play, good friends, and delicious food, and it doesn’t get much better than that.

NYE Plans

12 / 30 / 141 / 17 / 15

IMG 7539

Early this morning, Miss G and I sat down together and planned out how we’d spend our last day of 2014 as a family…  Here’s what we came up with.  Skating beneath the castle {we’ve been waiting to do this!}, some celebration science, the opening of our highly anticipated NYE surprise ball, then a pizza dinner followed by a dark chocolate fondue.  By far my favourite part though?  At the very last moment, Grae decided that she’d better plan our breakfast too.  I was expecting something elaborate for the final day of the year, but her pick?  TOAST.  Hah – consider it done, my love. ☺

Another Day, More Snow…

12 / 29 / 141 / 16 / 15

And Miss G could not be more thrilled about it.  Why?  According to her, the very best thing about snow is ‘always having a snack nearby’.  Hah!  Seriously.  And not only does she eat it as we walk along the streets, but she regularly brings cups of it inside to eat with a spoon too.

A Cold Sunday in Heidelberg

12 / 28 / 141 / 12 / 15

On Sundays in Heidelberg, most everything is closed.  And while that can be slightly annoying when you’re in need of milk or in the mood to browse, I sort of love it at the same time.  Growing up, I lived in a teeny tiny town in northern Alberta where everything was closed on Sundays…  It meant that on that day each week, our day was spent together as a family.  Those days were slower than the others and I loved it.

Today was one of those days.  A cold Sunday where we didn’t do much of anything other than force ourselves out of the flat for an hour to play at a nearby school.  And it was lovely.

REAL Snow

12 / 27 / 141 / 12 / 15

Today, well into our morning routine of sitting at the table together sipping on hot drinks before the sun rises, we realized something…

IMG 7366

Our balcony was covered in a blanket of snow!  It was so dark outside we hadn’t noticed even though we’d been sitting right in front of it for nearly 30 minutes, but the moment we did, we threw on our coats and boots {in between shrieks of ‘It’s snowing, Papa!  It’s snowing!’, of course} and headed outside to play.  It was heavy and sticky – the perfect snow for building things with, which made it that much better.

SNOW! {Boxing Day 2014}

12 / 26 / 141 / 12 / 15

Today, after what was a fairly usual {holiday} day of exploring, visiting with friends, and playground fun, Miss G got the very best Christmas present of all…  SNOW.  Something she’s been patiently waiting for for nearly two years now {my poor little Canadian girl} and definitely a wish come true!

Christmas Day {2014}

Ahhh… Such a great day.  There’s nothing quite like seeing Christmas through the eyes of your child.  Everything is just so exciting and wonderful.  And though I’ve come to the conclusion that Christmas away from Canada and our families will always be a touch strange, I think we’ve settled into a nice little holiday routine with just our family of 3.

Christmas Eve {2014}

12 / 24 / 141 / 12 / 15

Our Christmas Eve was a lovely one this year…

Our flat was filled with friends {who are also visiting Heidelberg} for brunch, Grae and I did some midday ice play, the sun came out just in time for a long walk and visit to one of our favourite playgrounds, and we came across huge piles of leaves on our way home {a treat for a desert-dwelling kiddo!}  Upon our return, we found chocolate and a handmade card on our doorstep and finished off our day with a movie night {the original Rudolph} and Miss G’s Christmas Eve presents {Christmas jammies and books, as always}.  Here is our day in photos…
