Tree Hut Village: The Parent-to-Parent Lending/Borrowing Community Mummy Confession: I have a hard time letting go of things I’ve bought for babies, especially the “big ticket” items. Disclosure: This post is not sponsored or endorsed by Tree Hut Village. We’ve all done this, I’m sure. After having one child, and unsure about time between children, we put the car seat, the high chair, and maybe even other large items in storage. They gather dust and appear useless until needed again for years. It’s either that or sell on buy/sell pages for a few dollars more than nothing Did you know, Read More

How to Cope as an Ex-Pat Mother: Strategies For Coping with Homesickness
Mummy Confession: I miss my American friends and family all the time. And occasionally a few other things about my “home” country. I was a teenager when I first visited what I now call home. I had no clue that the metric system would be an integral part of my future. I scoffed at science and math problems that had me calculate train collisions using meters per second speeds.
