Last night I sat through my first parents meeting in Switzerland with my five year old daughter’s two wonderful teachers. I am totally impressed with her school.
All the parents sat together in a circle as the teachers explained what the children were doing in school. Each parent was given a book with their child’s [...]

Parent Meeting at school
Berne (Bern), Switzerland photos
We took the train to Bern on Thursday. We felt the need to get out of the village. Since it was a holiday in the Jura, Vilay didn’t work. The weather was warmer than it had been all week which didn’t help our restless mood.

The Swiss Alps are all [...]
Birthday cake
We celebrated Sweet Bear’s birthday Friday night.
The fruit toppings made her cake colorful. It was as good as it was beautiful.
My kids have been taking turns being sick for a week. I am sick as well. Sleep is not going well and I am exhausted.
Last Saturday, we had to take Sweet [...]

Taken at the La Chaux-de-Fonds train station. I told the girls a witch left her broom at the door. They didn’t fall for it. Vilay said that the door looked like a face and the broom was it’s mouth. I think [...]
A hand full of change
Believe it or not I have thirty two Swiss francs and some odd change in my hands. It doesn’t look like much when it is all in coins. However, it is.
As an American living in Europe, I must constantly remind myself that those coins are not small change to be casually tossed [...]
Berne (Bern), Switzerland
We had to change trains three times with three kids and two strollers to get to Berne, the capital city of Switzerland. It was worth it.
The train from Bienne to Berne had a second floor. We happily pulled the kids and strollers up a flight of stairs just for the view. It [...]
