Weekends are for slowing down… and sometimes remembering how far you’ve come.

We’ve moved countries & homes more than 10 times.
Raised third culture kids.
Started from scratch in new cities — again and again.
And through it all, I kept coming back to one question:

How do you make a house feel like home — when everything around you is unfamiliar?

That’s what I help other expat women figure out too.
Not just with throw pillows (though yes, those help 😂),
But with support, style, and community.

If you’re moving, adjusting, or just feeling a bit untethered —
Know this: you don’t have to do it alone.

Some months just hit different.
This May… it knocked the wind out of me.

We flew home, squeezed almost 2 years worth of love into too few dags and said goodbye to the most beautiful people. Then we flew to the other side of the world and tried to pick up life again.

I got sick. The house felt quiet.
And even though Sydney showed up in all her beauty, something inside me felt off.

The girls struggled, looking more and more for where they belong, and missing their cousins, aunties and uncles and grandparents

Sixteen years into expat life, and I still forget how much re-entry can rattle you.
But slowly, gently, we found our rhythm again. The little routines. The sea air. The familiarity of our everyday.

Do you recognise that feeling too?
That strange in-between, where you're back… but not quite settled?

You're not alone. This life is full and rich—but it's not without its heartbreaks.

For many trailing spouses, life is a delicate balance of supporting a spouse’s career across new and often unfamiliar places while holding the family together. At first, the role can feel exciting, even fulfilling.

But in dedicating ourselves to our family and spouse’s career, we can easily lose touch with our own goals. And finding purpose that’s truly our own—especially one that feels sustainable, not just a fleeting hobby—is both challenging and transformative.

I wrote about it here:

Know the feeling??

I have bought and sold some furniture to fit the 10+ homes we lived in over the last 15 years.
