The little things in life
Crazy week
I have been cleaning and washing in preparation for our trip to Prague to stay with family there and then to Strasbourg to spend more time with my Inlaws.

My girls are ready for gym class at their Swiss school
I searched Etsy.com for gym bags for my girls. They need bags to put their gym shoes and clothes in. They are required to change for gym to teach them to dress themselves. However, my girls have been dressing themselves since three! Matching is a whole other matter…

Walk before dinner
We decided to take our walk before dinner tonight because we wanted to be able to get out before the rain started. It did start to drizzle at the end of the walk but we didn’t mind much. We like the rain.

Summer Break
Summer Break is finally here!
This past week has been a busy one. My five year old finished her last day of school today. She was sick last night so I was worried if she would be able to go today and then there was a storm this morning that threatened to keep us [...]
Bonnie Blue bonnet
Living out of the States, I take every opportunity I can to teach my children about their American heritage. So, this past May when I came across Grandma’s Girl on Etsy I couldn’t pass up buying my two youngest girls bonnets.
The bonnets arrived and as the girls were trying them on ironically an advertisement [...]
