The Countdown is Almost Over

Hi,

The day is finally here! After months of dreaming and planning, we are officially jetting off to a winter wonderland in the northeast corner of the globe. This is my very first time visiting, and honestly? My only expectation is pure, uninhibited happiness.

I’m on a mission to soak up every second and make core memories with my little humans. They’re growing up so fast, and I want to cherish these adventures while they still want their mom right by their side before they officially turn into big kids.

So anyway, packing for a frozen world was a challenge, but somehow I won the Luggage Tetris championship! We have five bags in total. One giant, two medium, and two carry-ons. I’m actually shocked I managed to fit all those puffy jackets and three pairs of chunky snow boots without the zippers popping! The bags aren't even completely full yet, but I have a feeling they’ll be bursting on the way back once I stock up on more snow gear for the kids.

Winter gear organization. Compartments for everything means zero stress and easy access to all the layer.

The line-up! Those bags in the back are actually expandable.

I have a feeling that extra space is going to come in very handy for all the shopping later.

So, here is my final update for 2025. I’ll be spending New Year’s Eve literally in the clouds, flying over the Peninsula and the South China Sea. The next time you hear from me, it’ll be 2026, and I’ll be greeting you from a whole new country! 🇨🇳

Happy New Year, everyone! May your best moments of 2025 become the memories you cherish forever. I know I’m certainly tucking mine away in my heart.

See you next year! ❄️✈️
