Here I share my experiences as I give up the fast-track career in the US to be a full-time young mother in Finland - and discover more of my core inner values and bewilderment of Finnish culture than I ever knew possible!

Here you can stop in and ... 

• Discover how ridiculously stiff Finns can be (and not in the happy way)
• Read about seldom-talked-about bodily changes that motherhood brings
• Find out what my baby has managed to poop on this week
• See how long it takes me to learn how to pronounce the street I live on (nah, I still can't do it)
• Revel in the interesting ways I discover to have fun all winter despite a-less-than-paradise climate
• See who I've managed to squirt in the eye with breastmilk lately
• Join in my despair over trying to find a decent cheesecake in this country
• See what's so great about being in bed with two Finnish guys of vastly different sizes
• Read about my opinionated stance on hotly debated parenting subjects...such as disposable vs. cloth and circumcision vs. back-off-with-that-blade
• Join my misery of how to pick a baby name that works well in English and Finnish (the strangest language ever)
• And many more important issues!

I update this site often, especially when something particularly ridiculous strikes me.
