Baby

Sweet moments

February 13, 2014November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

It’s going to be a good morning! Not safe or recommended but practical! You’d never know that we are headed out the door. Papa on duty! Here is how I […]

Baby

Twice Blessed

December 4, 2013November 24, 2014 Third Culture Mama

Woah, as of today, I am considered full-term! 37 weeks is certainly not when we hope to have a baby, but today is the earliest our birth center can welcome […]

Baby

Searching for raw milk

April 23, 2013November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

We took advantage of Grammie being in town this past weekend to go on a little road trip to an organic dairy farm. We’ve been looking into our raw milk […]

Sun + snow =

Fun in the sun

Slovenian-French 1st birthday!

March 10, 2013April 6, 2013 Third Culture Mama

Joyeux Anniversaire a little in advance and a slightly belated Vse najboljše to these darling little ones, born within nine days of one another. xxx

Babies and language

March 7, 2013November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

For all of you interested in infant language assimilation, here are some fascinating TED talks I just have to share! Patricia Kuhl: The linguistic genius of babies (On critical periods […]

Operation: Got Milk?

January 29, 2013February 13, 2013 Third Culture Mama

I thought we’d be breastfeeding exclusively for a year, but Ayo seems to be thinking otherwise. In all honesty, I’m not too sad about it. As someone recently said, we’ll […]

Christmas Eve check-up

December 24, 2012December 24, 2012 Third Culture Mama

In all honesty, I usually blow off my annual women’s check up. These days, I feel I’m fairly healthy and also pretty busy. But, since our birth center offers annual […]

International travel with baby

December 14, 2012December 17, 2012 Third Culture Mama

It’s hard to believe that Ayo has been on 16 flights in the last six months. I’d say that flying with him is definitely getting easier as we learn how […]

Seizing the weekday

December 7, 2012December 8, 2012 Third Culture Mama

While I’d much rather have spent today visiting friends, we really needed to use our final weekday to meet with real-estate agents instead. Tall Mountain back from Austria (after India […]

8 month favs

December 3, 2012December 14, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Rocking out to music and noticing that my buddy is humming along to it too, but in soprano. The enthusiastic shake of a small plastic bottle filled with dry beans, […]

Confessions

November 17, 2012November 19, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Tall Mountain left for Toronto yesterday afternoon. They got into the Amnesty film festival there, which is pretty cool. I heard someone recently describe Toronto as a “clean New York”. […]

Un peu de tout

November 14, 2012December 13, 2012 Third Culture Mama

A bit of everything. My kid smells like a skunk. I need to strip his dipes again. It’s the second time in five months, so I’m not complaining. Especially, because […]

Baby

Our quick trip to Brussels

November 9, 2012November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

We are back in France after a short trip to Brussels for the European Parliament film screening. We flew on low cost EasyJet, which is Tall Mountain’s new least favorite […]

Autumn 7.5 month packing list

October 24, 2012November 25, 2012 Third Culture Mama

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow, we get to fly to Geneva. (Sorry robbers, we do have guests staying in our home.) We’re in that last minute packing frenzy for […]

Digging deeper…

October 15, 2012October 16, 2012 Third Culture Mama

After several hours of looking into the Super Baby Food (SBF) diet, I broke down and bought my own copy on Amazon for $0.22. It turns out, 7 months is […]

Super Baby Food

October 12, 2012January 29, 2013 Third Culture Mama

Recently, I have felt a little out of my depth when it comes to feeding Ayo. He’s now tasted a good number of single foods like egg yolk, sweet potatoes, […]

Los Angeles at 6.5 months

October 3, 2012November 25, 2012 Third Culture Mama

We made our way to Los Angeles on Saturday. Tall Mountain had to be in the area for tonight’s screening of his newly released documentary film. We have also been […]

Six month changes

September 13, 2012September 17, 2012 Third Culture Mama

I thought we needed to drop a feeding, but in fact it looks like we needed to drop a nap… and the feedings would take care of themselves. Ayo was […]

Solids

August 20, 2012August 21, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Would you believe it? I tried to trick Ayo by skipping his late night feeding last night. Thankfully, he woke me up and reminded me at 4:00am that he was […]

Élise meets Liza meets Liese

August 15, 2012August 15, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Unfortunately, Tall Mountain introduced me to the hick (TM’s qualifier), depressing Liza and Henry’s bucket hole the other day. Liza officially shattered my image of sweet Élise gallivanting in fields […]

Stripping stinks!

August 9, 2012August 9, 2012 Third Culture Mama

We’re on week 10 of using cloth diapers and they haven’t added much hassle to our diapering routine at all. Just recently though, we started to get more leakage, the […]
