Another challenge done! The just-concluded #oneweek100people2019 initiated by Marc Taro Holmes, Liz Steel, and Suhita Shirodkar was a fantastic way to brush up on drawing people again.

Life has been so full these days. There has been hardly any time to update this blog these days… in between doing Project Life, being on top of the kids’ school assignments, doing a lot of pinning and full-time work. Lately you can find more updates of our lives in Shanghai via Instagram.
Routines and the Everyday
It has been a while since the last blog post. Life has been full! Kids are in their last term of kindergarten before grade school. Finding the ‘right’ local school is on our to-do list. International schools in Shanghai are not affordable.
