It’s funny, back when I had an au pair, I thought that I couldn’t possibly have enough time to balance everything in my life without one. Now, it seems not only possible, but we are doing it…. Maybe it is simply a product of the kids being older. Maybe we have settled both feet more firmly into the ground as parents. Maybe all that time with au pairs let us sort other things out so that we can get where we are.
I am taking a break from blogging – here and on my other blogs – while I pursue a yoga teacher training certification (20 weeks of preparation and a 20 week course of study, including eight intensive weekends). Yes, in addition to my other job! How will we manage it without an au pair? Sweat, love and help from the grandparents and a few lovely babysitters! 
Thanks for reading!
Best of luck in your new endeavors.
