Did you miss the first part of this post? You can read it here. Now that you know what we've been buying are you curious what I've made with those foods, in sub-par kitchens at that? I tracked our actual meals and snacks for four days, to give you a genuine example of how we're eating as we travel. A real look at what we ate for 4 days Monday Breakfast- Eggs, baguette, fruit (apples, pears, plums), and whole milk Small lunch- Fresh fruit and [...]
A far-off view of the Ushuaia, Argentina airport, where we arrived 3 days ago. We walked past this charming field the first time that we went into the city center. We're at the very southern tip of Argentina, and it hovers between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius right now, even though it's the end of their summer. Links I loved this week: Crockpot Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli @ Stacy Makes Cents. I am SO missing my crockpot while we're traveling! For those of you that [...]
The drive near Cafayate, in Northwest Argentina. Stunning. Links I loved this week: Perfect is a Poison @ Jon Acuff On Fear and Speaking to 3600 Women @ Shaun Groves Responding to the homeschooling critics @ Simple Homeschool The Problem With Being Supermom and How to Fix It @ Inspired to Action (probably my favorite post of the bunch, this one really hit me where I'm at this week) More Grace: On Not Being Mean, Hateful or Horrible @ Jen Hatmaker (yes, yes, yes. I [...]
They say necessity is the mother of all invention. After our first 6 weeks of traveling, I'd have to say that living and traveling internationally has proven that true time and time again. For example, take our first rental apartment in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It contained one lone frying pan. With its oddly warped and convex bottom, there was no way to keep it flat on the burner, and thus, no way to heat it evenly (or hardly at all). Enter the urgency of four [...]
This week... What I'm reading: Wrecked by Jeff Goins and 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess by Jen Hatmaker What I'm doing: Sitting on my bed with the balcony door open, intermittently focusing on my computer, and then look out at the majestic view of lush green mountains, and terra-cotta tiled rooftops, with intensely white clouds on the horizon. What I've been making: I'm learning my way around the food here. We've been enjoying a lot of variations on eggs for breakfast, and I've found enough [...]
Written by Stephanie Langford, Creator of Keeper of the Home I've been thinking about writing this post for so long, and yet now that I'm writing it, it feels surreal and I don't even know what to say. For the last several weeks, I've been hinting that our family is packing up and that an announcement is coming, so here it is: This Tuesday morning, our family is getting on an airplane and starting the trip of a lifetime. We'll be traveling around the world. [...]

Words. I'm usually full of them. As I write this post, however, I am entirely lacking in the right ones that will tell you what I want to say. In fact, my usually steady heart now beats frantically with panic at the sheer weight of responsibility hangs heavy over me as I contemplate what is to come... In 3 months time, I will be headed on a plane to the Philippines with a team of bloggers with Compassion International. So many words cloud my thinking and yet [...]
In two short days, I board a plane to go and do something I would have never imagined that I would do a year or two ago... I'm going to a blog conference! I'm headed to Nasvhille, TN where I will be attending Blissdom '10 and I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am! Myself and 500 other female bloggers will be gathering to meet, share, talk, learn, network, discuss, strategize, glean, laugh, eat... I have a feeling there won't be a [...]
