    This thing that my kids wore I would never part with

    The first outfit that they wore after birth. 

    My biggest challenge as a parent is

    Finding free time with my husband. We were big travellers, and I sometimes miss going out and never caring about anything else than ourselves :-)

    My best tips for exploring Bordeaux with kids

    Have strolls in the city and stop at one of their coffee shops, go to the Jardin Public and the carousel on Place de Tourny, explore the alternative area of Darwin. Enjoy a day by the sea.

    The best advice I received 

    Never compare your parenting or kids to others, you are the perfect parent for your kids.

    "Never compare your parenting or kids to others, you are the perfect parent for your kids."

    Mindful consumption to me means

    Less, but better.

    My favourite way to recharge my batteries is to

    Bake! But I also travel to the English countryside to spend a few days with my family in a quintessential cottage. This fills my cup.

    Not many know this about me

    Although I lost most of it, I can speak conversational Japanese.

    A kid-friendly dinner idea we always return to 

    Making homemade pizza together.
