The whole family is here! We celebrated yesterday morning by going out to a famous hummus/falafel place for breakfast. It's one of my favorite places to eat in Amman. In the afternoon we decorated Christmas cookies, and then went to the Hobbit later ...

Just a little update on my upload status. I'm currently cleaning out my folders and uploading lots of old stuff that never made it's way onto the site. I've been making lots of paper template kits, and once I get those up, I'm going to ...

While we were sleeping my brother-in-law Brendan arrived from the States and tonight we are excepting our final arrival. The holidays are a great time to work on a puzzle, and my sister-in-law, Karith, and I finished our first one! Today's freebie is ...

Yesterday many cookies were baked and this morning my father-in-law, whom I shall now refer to as Doug (because that's his name) made lefse. His family has strong Swedish roots, which always come out most strongly during the holidays. I have just had ...

Today is shaping up to be a rainy, rainy day. It's been about half a year since we last had rain, so it's a nice change, but it makes the house very cold. I'm bundled up with my tea and space heater, but worried because I was really cold in ...

Some more Christmas traditions have come out of the closet. Yesterday we had our first advent breakfast; we "missed" the first Sunday since we were alone, but my mother-in-law makes delicious cardamon rolls, which we enjoyed yesterday for breakf ...

A very exciting thing happened. A few weeks ago I was interviewed for a local magazine as "Blogger of the Month," which was perhaps a bit misleading since I wasn't even blogging at the time, but it still made me feel like a superstar! You c ...

Thanks everyone who left Jordan some birthday wishes yesterday. We enjoyed reading them all, and we had a great day celebrating. His sister actually arrived in the morning just in time to celebrate, bringing lots of goodies from England. We also (finally) ...

Today we are celebrating Jordan's birthday. I, for one, am very happy he was born 28 years ago. Yes, he did end up going to that University. It's good to know that even if your baby spends his time eating a hammer, he can still turn out well. Kn ...

I should perhaps make it a little more clear that Jordan and I, confusingly, live in the country of Jordan. Jordan's father is an anthropologist and his family has been living in North Africa and the Middle East for 30 years. Jordan and I needed some ...

My in-laws arrived last night, around 1 am, after a long flight from the States. They've been gone for almost 6 months, so they are very happy to be home and we are excited to be sharing the house with more than just animals. Things will start gettin ...

I've posted my Merry & Bright Christmas kits from last year, and also I'll be adding a few things to the assets over the next couple of days that I didn't upload last year. There's a few more alphas to come as well. Today's fr ...

Yesterday Jordan and I were working furiously when we got a phone call from a friend reminding us that we had bought tickets to a comedy show! So off we went. It was the first comedy show I had ever been to and it was mostly in Arabic, which I don't ...
