Sex differences in cultures


The other day, I wrote a post showing a more “private” side of my personality. A side that my husband sees and really no one else. We love to tease, flirt and play with words all the time. It’s great fun. Plus, it keeps the sparks alive.
Don’t worry I’m not going [...]

Bonne Fête des Mères


Today is Fête des Mères (Mothers Day) in France. The picture above is of one of my favorite flowers. It’s the coquelicot (corn poppy). I know it’s associated with the World Wars (I and II), but I think it’s just beautiful. I don’t think of death or blood when I look at [...]

Fast lane


We were out and about running errands in Strasbourg by car. My husband and I were chatting away and didn’t see the light turn green. It had only just turned green but the guy behind us gave a sharp toot anyway.  My husband hates when people honk at him whether he deserves it [...]

Challenges of raising bilingual/bicultural children


I have written an article for an online magazine called Multilingual Living Magazine which is part of the Bilingual/Bicultural Family Network website. You can read my article called Confidence is the key by clicking here. My name is on the article because of professional reasons. Pumpkin just doesn’t work on a real [...]

Energized


I’ve been doing nothing and it feels great.
We’ve been spoiling the children and really just hanging out. We did take a daytrip to Switzerland for Mother’s Day and our 5 year anniversary. It’s a little over a two hour drive to Lucerne. We wanted to see the Kapellbrücke (chapel bridge) which is Europe’s [...]
