Apparently my youngest really wanted his dad to come to school for the veteran's day assembly tomorrow -- too bad we didn't know that until tonight. Guess we'll plan on it next year! #parenting

We don't do screens in the morning before school (let's be honest, we typically barely have enough time to get ready for school). Every couple of weeks, however, my youngest asks to watch shows -- just in case I've decided to change the rules. #persistence #parenting #no

Why yes, I did watch a video about a brain-eating amoeba with my children this morning. #springbreak is going quite well. #parenting #science #scienceisawesome

I can always tell when my seven year old has stayed up too late. We're on round number three of tears over his broken sticky-hand. #parenting #bedtime

My 11 year old has been following @NASAInSight with me via Twitter. This morning he asked if it had started digging yet, so we were excited to see this update! #spaceisawesome #science #mars #nasa

My eleven year old just asked how he could get his eyebrows hairs to grow long and bushy. #hereallyisanoldmaninachildbody #parenting

My brain is saturated with moving tasks and #backtoschool forms, and all I want to do is drink a #cappuccino and stare at a #castle. #exexpatlife - but I wish it were #expatlife

Asking the boys to put away books always results in at least 45 minutes of unprompted reading time. #parentinghack #parentingtips #momlife #iwantacleanhousesomeday

For the second time I found a large plastic pirate spider under my pillow tonight. First occurrence: my husband. Second occurrence: probably my ten year old. Next occurrence: there won't be one because the spider is going in the trash. #parenting

Home renovation is slicing a hole in your purse and letting your money pour out as you frantically put one more coat of paint on the laundry room trim. #homerenovation #homerepair #homeownership #DIY

It's 530am and my husband and I are awake thanks to #jetlag but the kids are still asleep, so apparently the trick is to run them so ragged that they are basically falling sleep standing up. #webarelymadeit #familytravel #travel #expatlife

#travelTip: If you're traveling with 2 children, 3 adults, 7 checked bags, 9 carry-ons, and 1 checked booster, show up at the airport 3.5 hrs early so you still have time to get breakfast. #exexpatlife #expatlife #moving #familytravel #travel

Sitting on the castle patio, looking across the field at a treehouse (where my family is still sleeping), drinking a cappuccino. This is our 150th #castle since moving to #europe. I'm going to miss the convenient #travel! #expatlife #familytravel #repatlife #chateaudelaposte
