Boy Blue with his bobbycar

Mother’s Day
My five year old daughter gave me these beautiful flowers for Mother’s Day.
The petals are made of wire and the centers are pompoms.
At school she crafted these flowers all by herself with her own little hands.

Living in a Swiss village with kids
My kids love their life in our Swiss village.
I don’t worry about them being outside by themselves. An hour will pass without my seeing them from the apartment windows but I know they are safe.
