About me: I'm an American expat, specifically a German-bred native Utahn living in São Paulo, Brazil. I met my tall, dark and handsome during the 2002 Salt Lake Olympic Winter Games.

I dedicated my career to politics and business school then put it aside for full-time motherhood. My husband studied medicine and business and now works in hospital administration. We recently moved to Brazil from Boston for a new career opportunity. Let the expat adventure begin!

Translation: "Happy Easter" in Portuguese.Brazil is the largest Catholic country in the world so it's un-technically the VP of Catholicism... the Vatican is obviously the President. As such Easter is taken pretty seriously and Good Friday is a national holiday wi... Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:04:00

Talk that is, a lot.When it came to picking a school for my toddler in BRAZIL my compulsive mom tendencies went into overdrive. Perhaps non-surprisingly this is a huge concern for expats with families b... Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:26:00
Little Po Starts Preschool in Brazil
My little munchkin started preschool! Where does the time go? It feels like yesterday little Po was a newborn (in the United States) and now he's two-and-a-half and going to a Brazilian school like a brave little man. Granted not without his blue blanky and pacifier in tow, lovingly called "boo an... Thu, 12 Apr 2012 13:43:00
