Growing out of myself

April 29, 2010

I live in my head too much. I need to be around people. I need to grow out of myself. My kids on the train home from looking at an apartment in Bienne last week. We decided that Bienne was too expensive unless we wanted to live in a not so nice area. We are [...]

No pooing allowed!

April 28, 2010

Image taken in Germany. I snicker every time I see these no pooing allowed signs around Europe. The signs are perhaps a little too graphic??? Today is warm and sunny. I have been ironing and cleaning. The kids have been outside playing. My seven year old came inside with dirt sticking all over the warm [...]

Mother’s Day

April 27, 2010

For me it is hard to keep up with Mother’s Day. It isn’t on the same day in Switzerland as in the States.  (Edit:  Mother’s Day is pretty much on the same day for the US and Switzerland but it is France that is late in the month of May…Sorry, I still think as if [...]

My cat has a thing for the kitchen sink

April 24, 2010

Ha! I love cats. Emmie is meowing from my bedroom for me to chase her. We play every night chasing each other from the kitchen to our bedroom to the living room. She loves our game of chase after the kids are in bed.

Parked cars in France are…very French

April 20, 2010

Picture taken from my Inlaws upstairs window of their house. It made me think of one of my first posts on this blog.  :) I still miss France very much even if I love living in Switzerland.   After all, I am French in my heart.

The lines to dry clothes outside have been put back up. Yippee! There is sun. Yippee! The kids are back in school after a two week Easter break. Yippee! We have found several nice and affordable apartments in Bienne, La Chaux-de-fonds and even Neuchâtel. Yippee! We are keeping our options open on where we relocate. [...]

Spring air

April 18, 2010

We got a walk in yesterday. It was so nice. The kids rode their bikes and they loved it. We were headed home full of happiness only to be told by someone that they didn’t get their bike out today because it was too cold. She actually told me that with my kids riding along [...]

Life cycle

April 15, 2010

A moment brought back by a smell or an image…there is a memory of a touch…a feeling…of being. Of who I am and who I was…the same.

Children are happiness

April 15, 2010

My children are my greatest source of happiness. They make me smile all the time. Been very busy searching for a new apartment in Bienne and a job any where in that area. I am so happy to be moving forward instead of standing still. I hope you are all having a great week so [...]

Biel-Bienne apartment search

April 11, 2010

We looked at an apartment in Bienne on Saturday. It was a beautiful apartment with lots of space for our family. The only thing I didn’t like is that there isn’t a yard for the kids to play outside. No matter, we will be out of the apartment most of the time walking in the [...]

The end of the snow

April 9, 2010

I took the photos below last week before we left to visit Strasbourg. We took a walk around our village with my Inlaws. The girls were so happy that they could ride their bikes. The snow is all gone now except for some patches here and there at the very top of the mountain.  The [...]

Easter vacation

April 7, 2010

Vilay found out last Thursday that he was laid off for all of this week. We decided to call his parents and ask to visit them in Strasbourg for a few days. We ended up leaving Friday and returning today. I feel so much better about so many things after this mini-vacation. It has cleared [...]
