Sweet Bears says, “Convenience stores are so yesterday…I want my goods delivered to my door!!!”

September 6, 2006

The day after arriving back in America after over 2 years, Sweet Bear started “baby talking” while speaking French. It got worse and worse as the week went on. She even started talking to her father in English. He would just say what she had said again but in French. He has continued to speak [...]

New template

September 5, 2006

I have found a template that I think is cleaner and easier to read. Please, let me know if anyone has any problems with it. I have checked it under Firefox and IE. The beautiful picture of the bridge is not mine. Therefore, I will be searching for a new header over the next few [...]

Getting back into the swing of blogging

August 20, 2006

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 [...]

Basic rights not found in French workplace

August 20, 2006

I have had some time to think about all the crazyness that has become normal to me over the past few months. I think that the move back to the States was the right move. I just could not live in a country that supports discrimination for any reason. I am a woman with four [...]

Just blabbering…

August 17, 2006

I have finally adjusted to not trying to answer everyone in French. It took me four days to start thinking in mostly English without French sneaky in every other thought. Vilay and I will begin speaking in French together so that the girls will hear French. Their father will speak with the children in French [...]

deleted

August 17, 2006

I have deleted my last post because it was a little too “detailed”. I really want to forget all the bad things and move on with the good. My mother has been spoiling her grandchildren. The kids don’t really seem to understand that they are now living in another country. They are just happy with [...]

Cultural adjustment

August 14, 2006

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 [...]

Carola bottled water

July 21, 2006

I took a picture of one of my favorite ads for Carola water (source Alsace). The series of ad photos are extremely clever and original. I tried to find the ads online but could not.

This little piggy went to the market!

July 11, 2006

I love going to markets in France. I have grown bored of the markets full of clothes that are abundant in Strasbourg. While visiting Sélestat, we had the great fortune of going on a Tuesday. Every Tuesday there is a huge market and a smaller one each Saturday. The aroma of cooking food and fresh [...]

The Swan Family

Mother Swan. Mother Swan and her babies. As we were walking by a canal near Oberschaeffolsheim, we saw a family of swans. It was really cute to see. The baby swans were not small but were still babies. ******** This post was made by my daughter.

Just a little too far

June 23, 2006

Angel thinks this commercial (that is on several times a day) is gross. She is not offended by the commercial or hiding her eyes. She simply doesn’t understand why they would make it because it is gross. It is too sexual. She asked me, “Why would they show it on tv? GOSH!” While I am [...]
