It’s not easy to learn many languages at once. We can all agree on that, right? So it’s no surprise that, very often, we say funny things when we don’t intend to. And it’s not just about the individual words; not even just about the order of words in a sentence (thanks for the verbs […]
Almost every year, Luxembourg school kids get to go away for one or a few nights at a youth hostel, or camp of some kind: les colonies. This is a luxury that not all countries can offer and I’m happy that you can experience such extracurricular activities. But… Being vegan is out of the question […]
At some point during this school year, the fact that our little neighbour, Finley, was taking karate lessons, had a big impact on you. You had already mentioned to me near the end of the last school year that he was doing karate and that you wanted to do the same. I have often thought […]

I’ll be the first to admit that today started off on the wrong foot because of me: I didn’t think to check the gymnastics calendar and when we got to the gym another forgetful parent informed us that there was no class. On a normal Saturday, we would have dropped off Elsa at 10:00 for […]
It has been a long while since I’ve written here. We’ve been busy with the new baby, Elsa, who will soon be 16 months old! So, no more excuses, we have to start writing again. The difference is that now we’re writing not only to you, Nina, but also to you, Elsa. We hope that these […]
