On Fréjus, St-Raphaël, Ste-Maxime, St-Tropez…

  Look at this map. Do you see St-Raphaël? Do you see Fréjus? It’s not just a map with names. It might mean nothing to you, but to me, it’s my entire childhood, right into adulthood!! This is where we are going in exactly 9 days!!!! **happy face**   And then zoom out…. and you get [...]

Attachment Parenting

How do you feel when you look at this picture? If you are like me, this is your reaction: ***shocked, slightly disgusted face ***. If your child can stand on a stool and breastfeed, haven’t you crossed the line!?! The reason why I react in this way is because this parenting style, called the attachm

Karate is contagious!

Our house has become very safe over the last month or so, thanks to these 3 karate kids! Léa and Matty follow in the steps of Killian. Matty with his I-don’t-really-mind attitude is decidedly the most chilled out karate person I know. Léa listens attentively and tried her hardest to look the part. M

Letter from a mother…

This past Sunday was Mother’s Day. Following my post on  (un)traditions, a friend of mine greeted me and jokingly asked if I was going to celebrate Mother’s Day in my untraditional way. Absolutely, I winked. The way we celebrate Mother’s Day is exactly the same way that we celebrate Valentine’s Day

Un-traditional

I read that family traditions instill into your children your family values, strengthen family identity, connect generations, build great memories and make us stop in the bustle of the busy day to remember the important things in life. We are not a family with traditions. If someone asks me what our

The power of introverts

I listened to an interesting talk about the power of introverts by Susan Cain. Being a semi-introvert myself, I immediately felt attracted to the title, ah! The speaker pointed out that there are as many introverts as there are extraverts (in fact it seems to be 75% extraverts for 25% introverts) bu

The day she cut it…

After months of threatening, bargaining, crying and begging, we both agreed that it was time. Time to let go of the long mass of hair that crowned her beautiful head. Yes. Léa had her hair cut. Here is the before during and after. Filed under: Being a mum, I am Léa, Life in the nest

Speaking japanese

Killian still sometimes gets confused between 8 and 9 in English, but ask him what a chokuzuki or gyakuzuki are, and he’ll show you. Karate found Killian, and he likes it!! I like it! He gets rid of his abounding energy and natural aggression, both at great speed! A few weeks ago, he took part [...]

What? No school this year?

Nope. This year we decided to homeschool.  When we finally took the decision in the middle of last year, I yielded my husband’s good advice and did not advertise it. My heart wanted to share it with everyone I bumped into, but my head told me not to. I am aware that it can be [...]

H is for holidays…

2 november was my last post. I’m so glad wordpress kept it for me… So what happened since 2011? A bit of this, a bit of that. Some teeth falling, some end of year concert, some holidays, some life-changing decisions and some insignificant ones. Instead of boring the readers with my insightful though
