What is this exactly? I heard it was illegal? Isn’t it difficult to give your baby away to another couple? I thought only celebrities used these services? Well think again because this conversation will explain it all, the main misconceptions that most people have about surrogacy as well as hearing…

Family Values and parenting challenging kids behavior

This was one of the most beautiful trips I have ever had the chance to experience!
The best part is it was spontaneous and with very little planning. The only thing we booked were the basics such as airplane tickets and hotels.
You know what, once upon a time…before I had kids… I used to buy travel books and research online for hours before going on a vacation about everything such as what to see, where to eat, what activities to do during that time, the festivals, the best views and so on.
Clearly if you are going somewhere far away that you might not visit again, then you really want to see the best of the best or the main attractions.
Well, this Summer we did not stop traveling, I had 3 big trips with only a few weeks or even only 1 week in between so needless to say, I kept everything to a minimum except for my meticulous planning on what to pack (such as putting outfits together to reduce the amount of stuff and buying mini travel size of my favourite products).

This had me thinking about an audiobook that I discovered a few months ago about raising happy kids. As a young mom, the challenge of raising children is real, even more when they are under the age of 5. So if this can help me, I hope that it can also inspire you in raising happy and confident children.
If you’ve missed it, here is another great book that I’ve talked about in a previous post about parenting.
Why is this book interesting ?!
Did you know that Denmark was voted the happiest place in the world since 1943 !!! So maybe they are doing some things right with their kids that we can also learn and apply in our lives.
As any parent knows, parenting is one of the most challenging things. So when I heard raved reviews about this parenting book on what the happiest people in the world do to raise confident and happy kids, I was very intrigued.

If you have been following me on Instagram (@christiane.begin) then you know that I visited Tunisia recently with my little family. As my partner is originally from there, we visited his relatives as well as some tourist spots. I am currently prepping those posts and selecting from the many pictures we took so stay tuned!
Being Grateful
Thanksgiving has always been an important weekend in my family. We had our extended family and some close friends on Sundays to celebrate and eat A LOT of homemade food. We celebrated the end of the farming season in my town (I grew up on a farm) while being together enjoying 5 course meals my mom usually prepared which was one of my favorite part of getting together. Mmmmm! Now that I have been living at the other end of the country, I don’t get to share these special moments with my family. On the other hand, I have my little family that is growing and I try to incorporate those traditions into my cooking and my baking. I enjoy the Fall feeling and coziness it brings with warmer clothing and hot beverages. Don’t you just LOVE the Fall flavors such as pumpkin, cinnamon, apple, cranberry sauce….?!
