  • Potty Training Update – 7 Months In…

    7 months later from my initial post when we were in the ABSOLUTE THICK of it, I would say we have a fairly solid routine. We never left home without two solid outfit changes and there were still a decent number of accidents where he was just a little too slow on recognizing the need…


  • Living in the World with COVID-19

    Moment to moment there is a change in the air. For a brief minute upon waking I have forgotten that we aren’t supposed to go anywhere nonessential.

  • An expat no longer…

    This blog post took me a while to write, not because I was strapped for time but rather because I was just purely exhausted. I didn’t feel the extreme fatigue of jet lag this time around; it only took me about a day to be OK again. I had rescheduled my flight to ensure that…
