Birth

Pregnant! Now what?!

November 26, 2015January 2, 2016 Third Culture Mama

Isn’t it such a great thing that we were given a full 9+ months to prepare for the babies that end up in our arms? Even third time round, it […]

Birth

You ate your what?!

February 2, 2014November 23, 2014 Third Culture Mama

I ate my placenta. And based on the squeamish reactions I have received since sharing that nifty piece of information, I thought I should write a little more about the […]

Birth

Nine days postpartum…

January 3, 2014November 24, 2014 Third Culture Mama

Postpartum running

September 10, 2012September 10, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Schedule and language update

September 5, 2012September 5, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Re-reading a few of my latest posts sure make me think that much of parenting child number one is very much experimental. Not at all accidental, but so very experimental. […]

Blocked duct

July 25, 2012August 13, 2012 Third Culture Mama

Yesterday I felt really tired. I put it down to recovering from the weekend, baking this citrus pound-cake, cleaning the bathrooms, hanging two loads of laundry,  shopping, translating a text […]

Breastfeeding

Breast is Best!

July 10, 2012November 24, 2014 Third Culture Mama

If there is anywhere that you’d imagine would be breast-feeding friendly, it would be Europe, right? Well, after meeting the husband of the chick who brought La Leche League to […]
