In this fun episode of Away We Go We Go, I take you through my crazy week as I balance work, parenting, and getting everything ready for a last-minute family trip to California. I open up about the wild ride of raising twins in France, like late-night photo shoots in lavender fields and the toddler tantrums that come with keeping kids up past bedtime for one great family moment.

I also talk about why Jordan and I decided to raise our kids outside the U.S. We love the benefits of bilingualism, living abroad, affordable childcare, universal healthcare, and the slower, family-centered pace of life in France. I share what French parenting and school life are really like, from how kids are taught to be independent, to the funny paperwork systems, and of course, the amazing food. I even share some of our favorite things to do with kids in beautiful Provence.

If you’ve ever thought about moving abroad with your family, want a glimpse into expat life, or just need a little parenting support, this episode is for you!
