This song pretty much sums up how Hong Kong felt like. There are so many things to love about Hong Kong. There’s a grittiness to it that makes it attractive. You’ve got the streets lined with super high end designer brands, and a few blocks away you’ve got stalls selling…

Some days just don’t belong to you. You wake up, and nothing feels right. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the neighborhood kids are squealing happily outside. And yet, you feel like crap. So what do you do? It’s simple. First off, offer a plea to God…

I’ve never really been big on Valentine’s Day. I have nothing against those who want to celebrate it, mind you. Go ahead! Give love! Spread it! Be cheesy! PDA is allowed! But on a personal level, i just never really got into it. When Niki and I were starting out,…

There is so much i really do need to write about! Merde! A four-day trip to Singapore with my best friends cannot go un-blogged! But for now i am preoccupied with moving to our cotton candy house, to start anew. Hopefully. There are things that are broken that need to…
Hello,
I’m Kris
Wife to an amazing man and mother to two crazy kids I would burn the whole world down for. I love to write, and so I write. I also love to draw, but I’m not very good at it. I do real estate and own a business. It’s a lot. And it’s a mess, sorry I didn’t have time to fix up. Come in, but watch your step! There’s probably some spilled snacks on the floor. And some Legos. But that’s okay, the couch is cozy and the coffee is hot. Let’s make chika!
