Bule Masuk Kampung…
Sometimes it’s easy for me to forget where I am and take all I have for granted when I’m working from home and trying to find a balance between working and spending enough quality time with Samudra. I take him to as many play dates as I possibly can and make sure he gets out […] Read more »
Hey there! remember me? I seem to have disappeared for far too long, so much has been happening, play dates, dinner dates, work, work, work, Ramadan and Idul Fitri came and went and my little boy turned TWO (more on this later)… and in all this time I haven’t managed to pick up my camera!

It’s been so crazy busy with work for weeks now that poor little Samudra has been indoors without any fun day outings or playgroups and I have been feeling incredibly guilty about this. It can be tricky trying to work full time and plus find quality time to spend with the little love of my […] Read more »
I have been very fortunate since having Samudra that I have met so many beautiful mums and kids in Jakarta from all over the world. Once I returned with him from Australia at around 8 weeks old, he was only really exposed to local kids in the complex and there were definitely hundreds of them! […] Read more »
Friday night was a disaster trying to get to see the Ogoh Ogoh parade in Monas for Nyepi, missing it due to traffic and ending up in the car for 6 hours driving at slower than a snails pace from the city to home again in the rain. The traffic wasn’t moving, the car fuel […] Read more »
Although it’s not yet Easter, we decided to have an Easter themed Yummy Mummies Playgroup last Monday for the kids.

Strangely it only took us one hour […] Read more »
Since we went away to Puncak at Christmas and the hotel we were staying at had pony rides, Samudra has become completely horse obsessed! Although he was too frightened at the time to actually get on a pony, we bought him a hand made unicorn from a local seller outside the hotel, and Samudra wouldn’t […] Read more »
My New Years resolution this year was that I was going to start regularly blogging again and taking daily photos out on the streets as I have been neglecting both the camera and this page and I miss the joy both bring to me, and the documenting of life here. After our Christmas holiday adventures […] Read more »
I have to admit I had a mini melt down at the beginning of the week. After two weeks of looking after Samudra on my own while Putra was away, in and out of taxis for hours every single day to go on play dates and have adventures together, I was wondering if we had […] Read more »
Every Friday a lovely group of Mum’s and babies meet around South Jakarta for playgroup, taking turns to host at different houses every week. Unfortunately due to my schedule we have missed out on so many of these gatherings in the past couple of months. It was so beautiful to finally be able to make […] Read more »
