First, he didn’t want to talk. He was three years old when the doctor asked me rather worried whether he was talking at all. I didn’t notice much his incapability because he was the first child. We had to see a speech therapist every week. My boy didn’t like it too much but he went […]
While taking this picture of my younger son today, I remembered when I was his age; and we had summer vacation. I felt so happy and free of all school stuff. I spent some weeks with my grandmother and was playing all day long with my cousins. Only at mealtime, I had to go home […]
The point of view changes when you have kids. I didn’t want to recognize for a long time because I didn’t want to feel different than people without kids. When I didn’t have kids yet, there were two points of reference: my parents and myself. Since I am a mother, there are three points […]
Normally, he is talking like a waterfall. But then, he was lying there. The little surgical intervention with a general anesthesia went well. I sat at his bed and waited until he woke up. I was looking at his chest, following his breathing. I was looking at his face during hours, studying his little […]

Nobody’s kitchen tasted better than Karma’s. Was it because the preparation and cooking took hours while we were talking, playing games, […]
Fortunately, my two boys are rather bright. Even too bright when I want them to spend less time on their computers or smartphones and when I want to lock them for a certain time. They are hiding their machines telling me totally innocently they haven’t seen them for a while. But it is great […]
I don’t have a lot of memories of my childhood playing together with other children. Maybe, it is because my mother wanted us, my brother and me, to be around her when we came back from school. Maybe, she was feeling so lonely at home when we were at school and she was happy […]
It is a rainy day; school is off. The kids are playing, but not playing together; rehearsing a own play to invite their mothers to come and see. They close the shutters because there has to be special light. They organize popcorn and syrup. They write an invitation card for theirs mums; they even […]
