How about packing your bags and moving your three kids to France, for seven months, in the middle of the school year? What if they didn’t speak French at all, and your French is still rusty? Well… we did just that.

A TEMPORARY career opportunity presented itself to our family, and we took it. And so, the Brazilians who moved to the US and had kids, now moved, with said kids, to France.

Et VOILA.

Kiddos pre-trip waiting for time to leave for France.

So far, we’ve had hilarious, frustrating, inspiring, and nerve-racking moments, sometimes in that order. It is especially interesting to watch the kids maneuver their feelings of being in a foreign country without speaking the language.

So, for the sake of keeping family and friends up to date with our shenanigans, and for the sake of our own memory-keeping, I decided to focus on blogging about our adventures, mishaps, joys, and maddening comparisons in the land of cheese and wine. And oh… SO. MUCH. WINE.

ENJOY!
