Between Worlds: A Guest Post by Heidi Nevin
(As part of the series: A Monday Morning Guest Post in Multicultural Mothering) First, thank you, beautiful Natasha, for creating this forum and inviting us to share our perspectives. I was born in Crete, Greece and raised in Maryland, USA, on a beautiful, 86-acre, off-the-grid homestead.

The Montreal Stories Continue…
Our one week trip to Montreal last September continues to inspire my blog posts. The most recent is a story, "Jet-Lagged in Montreal", of our adventures in and around the city's night spots.

“Look at her…”
After thirteen hours on a plane that left Vancouver at 3am, we get to the transfer security when a mum turns to her crying daughter, around two years old, "Look at her," she points at L. "She's not crying. Why do you have to cry?" A couple of days ago at the Chinook mall in … Continue reading “Look at her…”
The Perfect Maclaren: Will We Make It?
When I learned that I share one thing with Julia Roberts and Jennifer Lopez, I was excited: the Maclaren Twin Techno double stroller. So it's not more glamorous than that, but hey, it's something. I "upgraded" from our well-used Twin Triumph only a few months ago. The first time I used it I was ecstatic. … Continue reading The Perfect Maclaren: Will We Make It?
Dragon and Phoenix Twins
