1. Growing Up as a Third Culture Kid
The children of Expats, Diplomats and Military parents are known as Third Culture Kids. My mother worked for CIDA (the Canadian International Development Agency) and as a result I grew up in this group of children. My life was full of adventure, I had seen…
2. ‘Vegetarian’ or ‘a vegetarian’?

7. Aquarium Emergency with our new Nano Aquarium Fish Tank
Not too long ago my daughter was turning 5 and she had her heart set on a fish tank as her birthday present. She had the names picked out and everything. Nemo for one and Goldy for the other. You can’t beat the originality of a four year old, LOL. No probl…
