Gabriel’s favorite breakfast is biscuits and gravy, and honestly, it took me all of 16 years of our marriage to get it right for him. It was either too salty, or the wrong kind of sausage, or the biscuit wasn’t puffy enough, or I cooked the egg incorrectly. Not typically so hard to please, Gabriel turns into an absolute...
That’s right. We said not! Not good to eat. I mean, I don’t get it. Paula Deen, the Butter Queen herself, is from none other than the sweet state of Georgia and yet we had the hardest time finding a decent bakery in all of Atlanta. And we tried! We struck out four out of five times! If there...
Getting ready to leave for a trip is no small joke, but getting ready for leave for nearly 3 months? That’s intense. Gabriel is teaching this summer at the Incheon Global Campus in South Korea, and our family will be traveling to Korea and living in Songdo from May until August.

Everything you need to know about attending the Songdo Branch as a Mormon in Korea. Learn where the church is located, how to get there, what to expect from Sunday services, and how you can take free Korean language classes from the missionaries.
I know we said Bingsu was Korea's best kept secret, but it might actually be the airline, Jin Air. Okay no, on second thought, nothing beats Bingsu, but Jin Air is definitely one of the best perks the peninsula of South Korea has to offer.
With flights as low as $15 you can take a domestic flight from Seoul to...
Traditions at Sinpo International Market date all the way back to 1885! As a result of political division, wars and unrest immigrants from Japan, China, Russia and even America settled in Korea. Locals took advantage of the growing population, and began selling vegetables in an open market.
Over the next 100 years, this small and simple market grew to become...
Everland Korea is the largest theme park in Korea, but we actually had no intention of coming here during our 3 month summer school field trip!
Everland Korea with Kids or Tokyo Disneyland?
In fact, ever since we knew we were coming to Korea for the summer our family planned on spending a few days at the Tokyo Disneyland resort...
A double bed and a twin bed is just not enough for a family of six. The twins took the floor mat, I took the double with the squirmy baby discovering her fine motor skills and Daddy shared with Eclair. I was up all night. Every time I heard a grunt, or a deep breath, or heard the bed...
We were already sore from so much walking yesterday, but we managed to kick it up a notch today and ended with spending a perfect family day on Jeju Island. Thankfully, we all got a little more sleep. I swapped beds with Gabriel and took the twin bed with the baby. Sounds like a tight fit, but I pushed...
Today was our last day in Korea’s Hawaii; a little paradise known as Jeju Island. We didn’t know before today, but Jeju Island played an integral part of the division between North and South Korea. In advance of our Korea DMZ Tour, and living here as temporary expats we wanted to spend some time worldschooling on Jeju to learn...
