2013 - Let the Change Begin

Back in Berlin, but not yet free to blog, as all three kids are still at home (with yours truly only). I unfortunately missed the northern lights in Finnish Lapland (but saw lots of beautiful snow-filled trees and landscapes and stars), and missed new years (I decided to accept reality and catch up on much needed sleep instead). And returning home by train with all our luggage, plus no buggy, into a city that does not clean up after a kazillion rockets, to gray constant drizzle, to being stuck indoors with my lovely but very needy kids (now aged 6.5, 5 and nealy 2) is, well, draining. But there is hope. This year is going to be full of change. Perhaps on the job front. On the childcare front as a result. And definitely in terms of location, as we are now 7 months away from our move to Brussels. It will be a strenuous year for all of us. But hopefully a happy one. And - please - a slightly healthier one for all of us! Happy hopeful 2013 to all of you! Special thoughts go out to my working mom stars  in the US, Cambodia, Sweden and Switzerland. Austria, Germany and Finland as well. You inspire me!
