Bridgette LOVES to cook so we are always looking for cooking classes on our travels to learn different cuisines. This time in Chiang Mai, it's been fun learning all the different flavors that go into Thai dishes, and we learned to make coconut milk soup, pad thai noodles, tomato chili curry, and mango sticky rice! I've never spent much time in the kitchen prior to being a mom so I'm grateful that my girl is teaching me the joys of cooking these days. Her passion for cooking has been contagious at times! #thaifood Traveling can teach your kids a lot about money if you involve them in the planning process and help them to understand all the costs along the way. For every international trip that we take, Bridgette learns about currency exchange and how the value of our dollar can change so drastically. This has especially been the case in the last month as we traveled from Denmark to Hong Kong to Thailand. She's in awe that what we spent to rent a tiny bedroom in a stranger's apartment in Denmark could get us a private poolside room in a beautiful resort in Thailand. While there were initial concerns about Bridgette being too "spoiled" with all the traveling that she gets to do, we have now found the opposite to be true. Our travels have brought her so much awareness of costs in a real world setting, and enabled her to be much more appreciative of what we choose to spend our money on as a family. #worldschooling We've been focused on learning about global warming recently, so it was very timely for us to learn about sustainability today at the Elephant POOPOOPAPER park in Chiang Mai. Pictured here are the papers that Bridge and I helped to make from elephant poo! It's a fascinating multi-step process and the end results are fantastic. POOPOOPAPER papers are tree-free, wood-free, and chemical free--excellent for our earth! #homeschooling Sawadika! We'll be in Chiang Mai the next 10 days immersing in the fascinating culture of the Thais and meeting other worldschoolers here. Super excited to explore northern Thailand and would love to hear any recommendations on food or activities! Quick trip to Hong Kong to spend some time with our family there. This little guy has grown so much since we last saw him a couple months ago! He currently loves to blow kisses, ride buses, and run after bubbles. 😊#cousinlove Nope, we're not in Paris. We're in Vegas these couple of days as Alan is here for a conference. The mood is noticeably different, and I don't think most people can ever step foot here again without carrying a heavy heart, thinking about the lives that were lost so senselessly in an instant. Today, we add to our prayers all those that are affected by the horrific wildfire that's so close to home, in Napa Valley. It truly has been one catastrophe after another this year, with so much pain and suffering. The only good that has come out of all these traumatic disasters is witnessing how so many people and communities have come together to love and help one another. It brings faith back to humanity, showing that in times of crisis, love will prevail. I'm keeping Psalms 46:1-3 close to my heart these days. Please click on the link in my profile to see how you can help Napa Valley. #sonomastrong #vegasstrong #puertoricostrong
