Growing Up Expat: Traveling with an Introvert

August 27, 2018 / leavingmainstreet / 1 Comment

I wanted to talk a little bit about traveling with your family for longer than a typical vacation.  Being out of your own space for longer than a week can present its own side effects.  As my children get older, there are different needs that need to be met in order for everyone to have … Continue reading Growing Up Expat: Traveling with an Introvert

2 Years In…

This was by far the smoothest transition back into life in Cartagena that we have had yet.  I know it is different for everyone, but the longer we are here the easier it is to come back from a break. My kids started school in the most normal way possible and we jumped back into … Continue reading 2 Years In…

August 15, 2018August 15, 2018 / leavingmainstreet / Leave a comment

We spent another good chunk of our time in Southern California.  Our other home.   We played on the beach, we ate In 'n Out, had homemade pizza parties, hit the park,  and made some really good summer memories with our family. Having older kids this time around, we are able to bring them both … Continue reading Summer Recap: So Cal

Summer Recap: Oregon

August 12, 2018August 12, 2018 / leavingmainstreet / 3 Comments

I have lots of blog posts floating around in my head.  I needed a break, I needed inspiration, I needed to think a little bit about what I wanted to say.  So I took a break from posting this summer, but it wasn't exactly quiet time. Here is what we were up to:  We had … Continue reading Summer Recap: Oregon
