About me: We're an American family of six and we always wanted to give our kids a global perspective. So when the Peace Corps came calling we were ready. We rented out our house in Colorado, said good-bye to our friends, loaded up on sunscreen and headed here which is Morocco for two years.
Having done this whole moving overseas things before I can tell you that it is much easier to move and live in Europe with young children than to move and live in Africa with older kids. See my oldest is now 12 and has that obligatory preteen angst. I have two others following close behind at 11 and 10 and then the baby of the family is 6. Except don't call her a baby or she will sumo wrestle you to the ground until you eat those words.
I was so excited about the idea of living the simple life in Africa. But let me tell you, nothing is simple here. This long list of co

As a parent there are some battles I just won't fight. And hair is about at the top of that list. I've always been extremely lax about the kids' hair.

Customer Service
We've been doing a lot of coordinating lately.

Decisions, Decisions...
I just can't decide what to write about today. Should I write about the new bike lanes in Rabat, which aren't in fact new at all?

Crazy Muthas
Mother's Day weekend started on Friday. My friend Sara's birthday is dangerously close, if not on Mother's Day, every year. On Friday, sans children and husbands we went to lunch, did some shopping and then went to hammam together in the afternoon. Did I mention that it was about 100 degrees o... Mon, 14 May 2012 14:23:00
