It was a looong almost 24 hours of travel, but we made it to London at 530am today. Singapore airlines has got to be the most incredible airline I’ve ever flown. Our 50 minute transit time in Singapore was easily accomplished, they let us bypass the line as a family with young kids to board,…

We are currently at the Bali airport, waiting for our flight, which leaves in 1.5 hours. I love that my boys still look out the window like this at ages 7 and 10. The kids spent some time with our nanny this morning, giving me time to exercise and pack. Then we did foot massages…

We leave tomorrow night at 8pm, so I don’t know if I should call this the last full day in Bali. But I will, haha! We are at the end of 8 weeks of traveling, as a single parent, with 2 high energy and wild boys, and I was definitely feeling the mental burnout of…

By the time we come back, we’ll have been away for 9 weeks. I thought it might be fun to talk about packing, especially for the things I brought that didn’t get used and what I wish I had brought more of. First, to start, we had a large suitcase, medium suitcase, carryon on size…

Today is going to be a short post. It was a good day. I’ve been tired from poor sleep for a few days so I swam and did yoga today and let the nanny leave early as I hung out with my kids at a restaurant while they played pool. I am liking Sanur way…

Today was truly a day when I checked out (as much as possible) from parenting and took some much needed me-time. We had our nanny from 7am to 2pm. We showed her around the hotel when she arrived and she had breakfast with the kids while I headed excitedly to the beach to run. I…

I managed to get up at 6am today and brave the roads/sidewalk for my first run outside the 0.05 mile walkway outside our villa. I needed to really move my body without slowing down or turning around every few seconds. I went about 0.2 miles before I turned around, but hey, that felt amazing! We…

This morning, we had a cooking class we schedule through Airbnb experiences with Made. We had taken 2 cooking classes in Thailand which were amazing, so definitely had expectations. We were picked up after 8am and taken to the market by a driver who wasn’t super engaged or involved. There was another driver with another…

Today, we took a painting class sponsored by Toya Salts. (Cost $99 for all 3 of us). We arrived at the store, and waited a few minutes for the owner (Toya) to drive us to the studio. This woman is amazing—she is Indonesian and told me she was a single mom in NYC from the…

We had another Wayan day today. I’m super fond of him—he is so gentle and patient with my kids, and just a great calm presence. We did a tour of 3 temples near Ubud to start. I’m definitely “templed out” by now. I never got templed out in Thailand though I thought I would because…
