Traveling Around Jordan: Petra

By Marisa Lerin Wed, 01/30/2013 - 01:56

For being such a small country, that is generally unknown to people who don't live here, Jordan has lots of really wonderful places to visit. So many, that I wasn't quite sure where to start. But I guess when you do have one of the 7 Wonders of the World, that's as good a place as any...

Life in Jordan: Amman

By Marisa Lerin Mon, 01/21/2013 - 03:11

Somewhat surprisingly, Jordan has become one of the more significant countries in my home story. And since it's a pretty cool place that doesn't get a lot of attention, I thought it would be fun to write some about all the great places in this little country.

Disclaimer: Life is confusing because I both live in Jordan and am married to Jordan. I shall try my best to indicate which one I'm talking about. Also, I'm in no way an expert on life here, just sharing my own experiences.

10 Great Games You Probably Haven't Heard Of

10 Great Games
We are something of a board game family. At some point Jordan discovered German board games and ever since then we've spent a lot of time playing games. I'm not quite sure what it is about Germany and why they make such interesting games, but I guess that's how things go. I know some of the more popular games in America are Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne, but there are lots more where those came from.

Pin to Win: Put Your Wishlist on Pinterest

By Marisa Lerin Tue, 01/15/2013 - 02:21

There has been lots of interest here of people wanting a wishlist system to keep track of the things they'd like to download. While we think this is an excellent idea that we are planning to implement directly on our site, it won't be happening for a little while yet. In the meantime, I thought it might be fun to have a little contest and help you keep track of all your dream downloads at the same time!

Still Snowing

By Marisa Lerin Thu, 01/10/2013 - 04:35

It started snowing yesterday and continued through the night, and we are still enjoying flakes falling outside the office window. Our cats are particularly put out by the weather because it's been raining/snowing for about a week now without any change and they are quite desperate to go do their hooligan business outside. But it's cold and wet and miserable out there, so instead the cats just meow piteously at the window.
