About me

Location United States
Introduction We are a family of four. Dad is a kiwi, Mom is swiss, we have two kids and we are all American. Mom and Dad got married 15 years ago in Switzerland, where they met, and then crossed the pond to come live in LA 12 years ago, where they became a teacher and a marriage and family therapist, and made two beautiful children, whom we will call K1 (8) and K2 (4 1/2). We are taking a year aside to jump off the American Dream wagon and consider, in Francis Shaeffer's words, "how then shall we live?". We are doing that in Switzerland, to be with Mom's family, immerse the kids in French and let them grow up with their cousins for a season. And to enjoy the beauty of nature and culture that this country offers, and which we have missed very much. We don't know what is at the end of this year, but we want to be intentional about family, spirituality, connection, rest and simplifying. This blog is a way for us to stay intentional, share our journey and document our thoughts, experiences and memories.
