You’d think that someone who has moved countries and continents as often as I have would just have some kind of in-built ‘editing my stuff’ system, wouldn’t you? I know I keep meaning to install such a system, because every time I have to pack up my whole damn life (again) and stack the boxes [...]
So, everyone? Please admire the bunny ears. This is Max and I walking home from the end-of-the-school-year show; he was delighted with the ears and wore them the whole way home.
And! Max loved the things so much that he wore them back to school the morning after the performance. Here he is, at 8:00 on [...]
I must admit that being an English-speaking Mommy blogger out here in Poland is a bit of an isolated experience. Even if I belonged to BlogHer, I couldn’t get to any of the conferences, and I read with envy about y’all meeting online through various sites and groups, and then driving across the city, or [...]
So, it’s 9:45 at night here in Warsaw – greetings, y’all! – and guess what I have just finished doing?

The law was actually passed in the Senate back in September – and the vote was almost unanimous: [...]
So, you guys remember how Max went to get a haircut a few weeks ago? Well, it is already stiflingy, suffocatingly, stickingly (oh, shut up! I get to make up words on my blog if I feel like it!) hot in Warsaw, so Piotr campaigned heavily for him to take our sweet baby Alex to [...]
Alex is a sweet boy – and thank GOD he is, or else I would have been so scarred by Max at the same age that I would not believe that kids could be so easy and think that all those parents who said they had easy kids were just big fat lying liars who [...]
I am at a bit of a loss how exactly to begin this entry. Hence the sigh…
I joined an expat forum a couple of months ago, and as a result I have heard from a few other expats here in Poland – which I really like – and I have also been contacted by people [...]
I think a huge challenge faced by most parents with more than one kid is the jealousy and resentment exhibited by the older kid to the younger one. Max and Alex are certainly no exception to this general rule: Max was OK at first, but when he finally understood that Alex was not just ‘visiting’, [...]
