Great news (or not so great news depending on how you look at it). Nomad Mom is now on youtube. Whoopie! I’ve added a whole new category to the blog called “Now the World” where you’ll soon find new videos, reviews, commentary on the places I live and visit and the life that I lead. […]
THE SECRET OF BECOMING INVISIBLE
I’ve made lots of friends through blogging, but have met very few of them in real life. Olga from The European Mama is the exception. She is just as nice in real life as she seems in her blog (actually, maybe nicer), so I had no idea why she hung out with me. Then an […]
BAD PARENTING: PLAYGROUND EDITION
For those of you who like Nomad Papa posts, I have another one for you. This one is about what happens when you let Nomad Mom and Nomad Papa go on the playground without adult supervision. And by adult supervision, I mean having adults that know us around to keep us from exploiting our children […]
THE HERPES

After a four year hiatus during which I only sometimes worked, I have returned to the 38.5 hours per week,no facebook or blogging at your desk, deadlines, budgets and personnel management world of work. And, drum roll please, I even get paid a decent wage for doing it. For those of you wondering what the […]
I WANT TO EAT AT MOM’S FOR MOTHER’S DAY
The fallacy of a holiday known as “Mother’s Day” is coming up. I say fallacy because my husband has never done anything to celebrate my role in bringing children into our lives….although I am not sure if that is because he doesn’t do holidays or because the kids are a giant gift that keeps on […]
