Cleaning up the blog and a stinky kid or two


I will be cleaning up the blog over the next weeks. I have no clue what to name it. I can’t really leave the name as “From my French Window” when I don’t live in France any longer. I guess I could argue that our family is Franco-American and that is where [...]

High Chair


Tonight is the first night we have gotten the two middle girls to sleep this early. It is 9:30 at night and I am enjoying the quiet. Petite Clown just stopped crying at the top of her lungs in protest at being put in bed against her will. I don’t know how [...]

Walking is good for the soul


We took a long walk yesterday. It made me happy. I had missed American nature which is free and unkept by man. We walked along Miami river where a bike trail is being built. There are bike trails all over this part of Ohio not unlike Strasbourg. We are just [...]

Homesick, again


I am homesick for France.  I knew it would happen.  I just miss France.  Just because I talk about things I don’t like in France doesn’t mean that I stopped loving her just as much as I always did.  I talked often on this blog about things that I didn’t agree with in the States…however, [...]

Getting back into the swing of blogging


I have been searching for a reason to keep blogging since I am no longer an expat.  I have been busy organizing and baby proofing in my mother’s house while at the same time catching up with my family that I haven’t been able to blog much.  I
have decided that blogging is helpful to me [...]

Cultural adjustment


We have arrived in America a little before we expected due to some issues with my inlaws.  We are in a state of jet lag which makes it a bit hard to think for the moment.  I will update more in the next few days. 
I am happier to be in the States than I could [...]

Life keeps on going


We have decided to move back to America.  I don’t know if I will be able to post during the next few months until we have completed the move due to not having assess to a computer.
I am not happy to be leaving France.  France has become my second home.  The problem is that I [...]

Everyone knows that communication is important in any relationship…


Can someone, please, explain this fact to the idiot currently in the Oval Office?

While in Strasbourg recently, I took this photo. The words around George Bush, Jr’s head read, “USA disconnecting people.”

From a kid’s perspective


Sweet Bear got a hold of my camera, again! She took this shot of flowers located in my inlaws backyard. Their backyard is very nice with a huge shade tree and a small garden. All my children enjoy it very much.

They, also, love Gabby. Gabby is 15 years old. However, [...]

Spiders beware…of Sweet Bear!


The other day we were sitting down to lunch and began talking. Sweet Bear was eating her corn. I told her not to just eat her corn. She needed to eat her meatloaf and noodles as well. My kids love to eat corn. I have to watch or they will [...]
