All opinions are mine alone. #TipsFemeninos #CollectiveBias I recently read a study that shared some interesting data about mothers and the time they get for themselves. Basically, it stated the average mom gets a total of 17 minutes of "me" time in a week. Between taking care of kids, working at home or away and getting housework done they get less than 30 minutes of uninterrupted time to enjoy for themselves in a ... continue reading...
How to Help Your Kids With Nightmares
Nothing like waking up abruptly to the screams of your toddler because he thinks an earthquake is going to make the glass window over his bed shatter all over him.

Celebrating 4th of July as Americans Living Abroad
One thing I feel strongly about is celebrating our American holidays abroad. I do this mostly for my children, I want them to have memories and traditions that connect them to their culture.
