September's First Autumn Weekend

September 26, 2016 By Jodi

While it may have officially become autumn just last week, here in our part of Sweden it's felt like fall since early August. Still, we wanted to herald the new season with an outdoor weekend--and a trip to an apple orchard.

Now that the days are warm and neverending, we've been taking a ton of walks with the kids. I am delighted each time we walk by this little guy - such a lovely little spirit animating the neighborhood! Photo by me.

Found in the Forest | Lily of the Valley

May 31, 2016 By Jodi

Spring takes its time arriving to our part of Sweden. We still have wide swaths of lily of the valley in the forest near our home, which I love to stoop down to smell. I just learned that it's highly poisonous (which I should have remembered from Breaking Bad!), so don't let your little ones eat it.  Its...

Mac laptop and iPhones on desk

It's so popular today to bash social media for what seems like all the ills of society, especially for creating distance between people by adding an electronic intermediary where there once may have been personal contact. Of course there is some truth in this, though I've always felt that the good or ills of social media (and electronic devices)...

Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!

First day at home with newborn and big brothers

As you might have guessed, my silence this last week has been due to the fact that the baby has arrived! In fact, she came just a few hours after I published my last post.

The Fox and the Bear: Telling Stories

Fox and bear storytelling card

You know how some people, when they hear "tell me a story", can rattle one off instantly? With no preparation, no outline, nothing? I am definitely not one of those people. When August asked me recently to tell him a story, I had no idea where to begin (or end). I stammered and said, "I don't...
