I even find the term Maid offensive. Nobody is a Maid.the lady that helps in my home is my Cleaning lady, and we treat her with respect. She is a mother....somebody's daughter, and she is here to work, so she can send money home to her family. Read More

We are on the Sierra Arabian homes compound. It is a awesome place for expats. Compound is next to the American school, so the kids all walk to school. You will love it here. It does not feel like we are loving in Saudi once onside the compound. Read More
