It’s never easy to be sick, but it’s even harder to watch your child be sick. Little T started with a fever last Thursday afternoon which carried through the week-end accompanied by a dash of vomiting, diarrhea, and the arrival of a cough on Sunday. So, after 3 days of this, I felt it was … Continue reading In sickness we want health

New Year, New House, New Routines
Happy New Year! There is definitely a lot of “new” going on in this household. Without having Internet at home for the last few weeks, I have been feeling rather disconnected from the outside world. Then again, moving in general can leave you feeling rather disconnected until your home is arranged and new routines established. And … Continue reading New Year, New House, New Routines
So this is Christmas
This year we decided to celebrate the arrival of Santa on the 24th as is the tradition here in Germany. I explained to Little T that Santa actually comes a day earlier to Germany, so that he has enough time to fly to Canada to deliver presents there on Christmas morning. I had also explained … Continue reading So this is Christmas
Relax!
I love the German word for relaxation: Entspannung These clever Germans take relaxation very seriously. They work hard, but also take their time to relax. Take Sundays for example. With no stores open and noise restrictions in place, the Germans have no choice but to relax. Which I think is brilliant. Relaxation, in my … Continue reading Relax!
Coconut
The following was written by my Hubby, during his stay in Thailand. I saw a coconut in the water today. The incoming surf would push it towards the retaining wall only to be pushed back again by the previous waves returning from the unyielding wall. The wind was also exerting its influence, steadily driving the … Continue reading Coconut
Living in the moment
“You look like an old woman, Mommy”! Is what Little T told me one morning this past week. He based his observation on the fact that I was wearing a hat pulled down over my face and was crouched over with bad posture while pulling up my coat. I was suffering from a head cold … Continue reading Living in the moment
Teething at 39
This past Saturday Little T had an appointment for some major dental work involving 3 crowns and a spacer for a tooth that was pulled a few months ago. All this required work is a result of cavities. Never having one myself, it is something that I am having a hard time dealing with. When … Continue reading Teething at 39
The Lion and Little T sleep tonight
There’s nothing worse than hearing a strange noise in the middle of the night that jolts you from sleep. You quickly go through your mind anxiously trying to figure out made the noise, so you can dismiss it and go back to sleep assuring yourself that someone isn’t in the house wanting to rob or … Continue reading The Lion and Little T sleep tonight
Moving On
During the last four weeks of delightful visits from friends and parents, we also managed to find a new house to rent which we get January 1st. The decision to move was not completely ours to make; the company we work for has been asking us for many months to move closer to the head office. … Continue reading Moving On
Life is a Circus
Ever have one of those dreams where you show up for school and no one is in the schoolyard? Well, that dream was reality for Little T this week. Only, it’s not his fault since he is not responsible to get himself to school on time. The blame goes 100% my way. Before you go tsk … Continue reading Life is a Circus
