Posted on June 20, 2014 by Brenda Kimaro

Yesterday I only snapped a few photos with my point-and-shoot camera as we were getting ready to run errands in the morning; my DSLR never left the desk. So this isn’t all that thrilling for my #clickaday photo but it … Continue reading →

I’ve made it halfway through the #clickaday challenge this month! This weekend we spent both days at the Arusha Summer Fair, which is a bit oddly named since technically it’s our “winter” now and quite chilly, especially at night. In … Continue reading →

#clickaday Day 13: Mzungu Food

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Brenda Kimaro

With a few exceptions, we eat mostly the same menu every week. And our menu is primarily Tanzanian foods. While there are certain Tanzanian foods I really love–nyama choma, for instance–there are a few I absolutely cannot stand. So when those … Continue reading →

#clickaday Day 12: Max Loves Chips (and Ketchup)!

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Brenda Kimaro

This afternoon we went to our usual hangout after I got home from Bible study. My intention was for us to have some fresh mango juice and play for a while, but Max had a different idea. After the juice came, he … Continue reading →

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Brenda Kimaro

Today I got the rare treat of some one-on-one time with Elly. She helped me bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies while Max played outside with Anita and Godson. She loves to help stir in the chocolate chips but, … Continue reading →

Today’s #clickaday photo was taken at the Farmers’ Market this morning. We bought potatoes, tomatoes and carrots, but also enjoyed sampling several locally made cheeses (which Elly loved) and getting a big cookie from the bakery stand (which Max loved). … Continue reading →

#clickaday Day 6: Sidewalk Chalk Art

Posted on June 6, 2014 by Brenda Kimaro

I caught today’s #clickaday photo just shortly before bedtime–or at least what is supposed to be bedtime; Max and Elly don’t always cooperate. Our compound is short on grass but long on concrete pavers so Max and Elly take advantage … Continue reading →
