Sometimes a jingle gets in your head, and it just won’t leave. Well, that’s the case for all of us in the Krembs’ house these days. We can’t stop singing and dancing around in our tight pants, “We got our tight pants on!!” First check out Will Farrell then be gob-stopped by J. Lo dancingContinue reading Everybody’s Talkin’ ’bout my Tight Pants
One of my most prized positions is my Grandma Soogie’s Cinnamon Roll recipe. I remember being a young adult, probably in my 20s, and realizing I needed to know how to make her famous rolls for future holidays when I would be doing the cooking. I asked her during one of my regular card playingContinue reading Recipe: Grandma Soogie’s Cinnamon Rolls
Cookie Plate Image from Glorious Treats It’s about time for the Krembs family to start pumpin’ out the Christmas cookies. We usually have a set of staples that we always make–like Pfefer Nuts, Russian Tea Cookies, and Spritzers. The Pfefer Nuts are already made–probably because they are so easy. The Russian Tea Cookies are upContinue reading Christmas Cookies Roundup
I’ve been wanting a trench for a while (right Maureen!?). I always see one, try it on, and think, meh. Not for me. But then, I realized what was wrong: the color! I am not a khaki colored trench coat kind of person. They just don’t suit me. Now red, that’s a trench I canContinue reading Red Trench and a Skyline Tote
As seen from so many updates here on the blog, my Instagram feed, or my Facebook page, we recently visited my sister Mary in Shanghai for Thanksgiving. It was such fun, and I’ll try not to post too much from the trip. One post I will dedicate my awesome travels to is Louella Odié. LouellaContinue reading Hong Kong in Shanghai with Louella Odié
I’ve had my other plaid Christmas skirt for YEARS! It’s pilled on the sides and to be honest, it’s just time to get rid of it. (We’ll see if I actually do!) That’s why when I saw this Christmas plaid skirt in the middle of the spring last year, I jumped on purchasing. I setContinue reading Christmas Plaid

I have many sisters: 2 biological, five through marriage, and several more just from strong friendships made through my life. While unfortunately this is a window shoppingContinue reading Nordstrom Gift Guide: For the Sisters
It’s November 28, the day after Thanksgiving. Oh, but it is so much more! Today is Black Friday–the day after Thanksgiving in which the holiday shopping season may officially begin. I’ve actually never witnessed a Black Friday since I live abroad, but I can only imagine the frenzy. Then, on December 1st, it will beContinue reading Christmas Shopping with Kremb de la Kremb
There’s a Thanksgiving tradition that got broken this year: we put the tree up early! Usually Kevin is highly against this, but a special arrangement was made since a) we won’t be in Hong Kong for the actually turkey day and b) we had a chance to have our Hong Kong cousins over to decorateContinue reading Breaking Thanksgiving Traditions
One of the best sources for understanding a city is turning to its bloggers. We’ll be leaving for Shanghai tonight to visit my sister Mary who lives and works up there. (Yay to being with family for Thanksgiving!) Last time I visited I made a Shanghai musts post; this time round I’ve created a ShanghaiContinue reading Shanghai Blogger Roundup
The last time I wrote about my five hair dos was after I had stopped using shampoo for six months. While that “do” for my hair is still the same, I’ve got a new set of must hair dos now that my hair is short.
When I saw this skirt ages ago, I knew it would be a perfect addition for my November wardrobe. The flowers are so autumnal with their oranges and greens and stand out set in a mirrored arrangement on navy blue. The skirt is like a cornucopia. The elastic waste band is also helpful for aContinue reading Cornucopia
