There But Not There This is the first time I have organized a party for my kids without me being physically there! Imagine the stress with so many uncertainties.

Jazz Hotel Penang, Malaysia – A Review & Giveaway!
Penang is one of our favorite regional destinations. Aside from being my hubby David’s hometown, Penang has many unique experiences to offer families apart from its famous hawker fare.
