It’s been over 6 months since I found out I was pregnant with our “surprise” baby #3 and about 5 months since I lost our sweet angel. I’m not the first woman to ever suffer a miscarriage, nor will I be the last. I also know I’m not alone in the feelings I have, this […]
Repatriation & Toddlers….how our girl is managing her new life stateside
It’s officially been a year since we have left Malaysia and I can finally say that I think my daughter may be coming out of whatever trance the repatriation roller coaster had on her….well, the repatriation roller coaster coupled with being TWO that is.
Having never been an expat prior to this experience, thus never […]
A couple months ago our baby boy Mac turned ONE. Amazing….seriously, does anyone else feel like time these days is flying by at warp speed?! Does this happen when you turn 30? Or when you become a parent? Or when you have little ones in the house- all.day.long.?? Or is it just a […]
A perfect farewell to Bali
This travel post about Bali, Indonesia- an island I’ve dubbed the gem of SE Asia, will undoubtedly be my last blog about our SE Asia travels for quite some time as this was our farewell to SE Asia trip before repatriating to the USA. We are hopeful that we will once again become expats, but […]
The Birth Story of Big Mac, Pantai Hospital, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Such a huge delay in writing about my little man’s birth story….the past 4.5 months have been a whirlwind between newborn stage, moving across the world, and transiting into a family of 4! So really, its not like I’ve had anything on my plate or anything- LOL! But alas, here is Mac’s story….
I […]

Well I think the cat is out of the bag, as they say. It’s official, your beloved International Nabers are on the move once again! This time we depart Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and set our sights on home…..back in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
I simply cannot believe that a short 3 years ago this Easter weekend […]
Expat Life: Expecting baby #2 abroad
As I sit here {im}patiently waiting on the arrival of our darling babe #2, my mind goes into overdrive thinking about the fact that we are now about to give birth to our 2nd baby while living overseas as expats in Malaysia.
I’m officially 2 days late on my expected due date today and although […]
Expat Life: Being Thankful Throughout the Holidays (even though you are far away from home)
I know, I know…..it’s way past the time of being “fashionably late” in writing about the recent holiday season of 2014, but lets be honest, when was the last time a 3rd trimester mom of a 17 month old was on time for anything?! Let alone remembering her own name! So there ya go, my […]
{American} Thanksgiving in Bangkok with friends!
The American Thanksgiving Holiday is clearly not celebrated throughout the world, unlike the other holidays (Halloween and Christmas) that bookend this autumn holiday. No matter to us, we find friends here in SE Asia to celebrate with always. It’s amazing how many fellow Americans are also away from families during the holiday season- sure does […]
One year ago today…..we are blessed beyond words!
It’s been one year already, my how time flies. December 6, 2013….I’ll never forget it. Of course every time I look at my daughter’s precious & mischievous face I’m reminded of how God’s looking after us all, no matter how little or […]
