Adventures in China with small kids

June 25, 2015June 27, 2015 Third Culture Mama

Not so many Western families travel to China with young kids for a vacation. That was the first thing that struck us as we flew to Shanghai a few weeks […]

Flying me crazy!

June 18, 2013November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

It is hard to believe that this is Ayo’s fourth trip to France in less than a year. He is such a fortunate toddler and he doesn’t even know it! […]

Mexico at 14 months

May 13, 2013November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

Three loads of laundry are piled up next to me and bright colored toys are strewn all over the first floor. I had to step over a sippy cup and […]

Searching for raw milk

Meal ideas

Food lately

April 3, 2013November 24, 2014 Third Culture Mama

A little while ago, I said that I would share some food ideas as we came across them. Well, here are five eats you would have seen around our home […]

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 […]

Two naps & two fun recipes!

December 20, 2012January 30, 2013 Third Culture Mama

Ayo finally dropped a nap when we got back from our travels. Just after turning nine months. I wasn’t sure if it would ever happen, because he begged for his […]

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 […]

Cultural Reflections

Living in the tension

November 30, 2012November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

Well, on Monday, we flew over to Europe again. I had to remind myself what was in our suitcases as I pictured them still having the contents of our last […]

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 […]

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 […]
