When this girl was 9 months old, a tiny taste of hummus sent us racing to the ER. She was going into anaphylactic shock. At the start of the year, soon after deciding to move to Colombia, we started her on OIT for sesame. After a hop to another continent and many series of ups and downs, she has finally graduated today! 💕 . . . . #aspireallergy #oitworks #oralimmunotherapy #oralimmunotherapyworks #foodallergykids #foodallergymom #foodallergyfamily #toddlergirl #expatliving #expatkids #expatmom #expatlife #expatfamily #oitsetsyoufree #movingabroad #妹妹好棒 #可愛妹妹 #小寶貝

Mon petit ballerina. She has had an American instructor, a Chinese instructor, a Turkish instructor, and now a Colombian instructor. She has been taught ballet in English, Chinese, and Spanish~thankfully not in Turkish since we don’t understand 😆. For a couple of years now, influenced by the French ballet terms, she has been wanting to learn French. I’m going to let her pick that one up on her own. 😅 . . . . #expatkids #expatmom #balletkids #danza #balletbythebeach #colombianballetdancer #expatliving #trilingual #trilingualkids #trilingualeducation #languageimmersion #learninglanguages #learninglanguagesisfun #languageacquisition #ballerina #littleballerina #movingabroad

Fell asleep last night looking at photos from our trip to Alaska. Belated #tbt . . . . #alaska #travellingwithkids #fjord #totempoles #trainride #kidswhoexplore #familyvacation

At the very tip of a secluded island in the Caribbean... . You’ll see endless turquoise blue waters making cascades against the smooth ivory sands. . You’ll breathe in the clean, briny sea air. . You’ll hear the symphony of the multidirectional waves crashing against the shore. . You’ll feel the warmth of the sun on your back, the island breeze, and the ocean water mingling with the fine sand dancing through your fingertips. . You’ll taste the distinct saltiness of the sea on your lips. . You’re utterly enchanted by this simple, natural phenomenon. There is not a care in the world. . Toddler sensory play. . . . . #takeyourkidseverywhere #explorecolombia #colombia #islasdelrosario #expatlife #expatmom #explore #kidsexplore #expatfamily #expatkids #beach #beachday #beachlife #kidsofinstagram #childledlearning #childhoodmemories #toddler #toddlermom #toddlerplay #toddlers #toddlergirl #sensoryplaytime #kidstraveller #island #islandgirl #colombiatravel #colombiatravellers #islandvibes

“CASE!!!!! FRUTA!!!!!!!!”, shout the vendors as they push their colorful carts heavy with fresh fruits. Mimicking the traditional call of the palenqueras, this invitation can be heard every morning as the fruit vendors steadily pace the streets. 🍍 . My 2 year old loves to shout back down at them from the balcony. (We are pretty high up though, so her little cries cannot be heard from down below.) 😂 . My fruit basket has definitely gotten a gorgeous MAKEOVER. #fruitbasketgoals ⬅️ I am so tickled that this # actually exists. 🙄😆 . But wait, don’t let social media fool you with a couple of squares...I don’t actually typically buy my fruit from these fruit vendors. I don’t have time to negotiate and explain to them that I actually live here so “please stop making me pay the ‘tourist tax’”. More about that in another post. And you had better believe more fruit posts are a comin’ too. 😘 . Can you name all the fruits in my fruit basket?? No peaking down below!! 🙈 . . . . #colombianadas #palenqueras #expatblogger #colombia #viviendoelpresente #expatlife #myexpatcommunity #familiaexpatriada #expatfamily #tropicalfruits #fruitbasket #expatlivingsg #frutas #frutastropicales #maracuyá #granadilla #bananito #tomatedearbol #lulo #corozo #curuba

Colombian food is delicious! Nevertheless, in our transition and adjustment we do crave the familiar flavors of home. Annuar is Mexican and I am Taiwanese and we grew up in diverse environments...so we both miss...Thai food. 😂😂😂 . Here’s the random mix of international food that we ate this week... . I enjoyed a tasty Asian stir fried noodle dish today at a beautiful, hip little restaurant that was just a couple of blocks from our apartment. 🥢 That glass of blubblies is Italian soda with maracuyá and lime. So. Yum. 🍹 . Each week I try to prepare an Asian themed meal. I was craving Buchimgae (Korean pancakes) so I tried my best with the ingredients I could find. Really missing the kimchi though...can someone bring us some gochujang? 🙋🏻‍♀️ . We are attempting a once a week date night, so we checked out a Peruvian place in town. A good limey ceviche and well seasoned pulpo asado make me happy. 😋 . Many of our home cooked meals end up being a Col-Mexican fusion. 😆 I’m really enjoying the fresh arepas con queso...with guac and a side of frijoles negros. Totally not the way it’s customarily served here, but it’s good, y’all. 🇨🇴🇲🇽 . . . . #parentswhowander #expatlife #foodporn #expatfamily #foodie #asianbloggers #asianfood #colombianfood #mexicanfood #buchimgae #trilingual #bicultural #biculturalfamily #expatmom #frommykitchen
