The arrival of a new year often brings with it a quiet yet powerful sense of renewal. There is a collective pause, a breath taken after the intensity of the months gone by, and a gentle turning towards what lies ahead. For many of us, the new year feels energising and hopeful a moment to reconnect with purpose, to reflect on what truly matters, and to realign ourselves with the life we wish to create. For families, and especially for those living far from their home country,

Becoming a parent is one of life’s most profound transformations, and doing so while living abroad adds an extra layer of emotions, decisions, and questions. As an expat family in Barcelona, you may feel excited yet a little uncertain about what giving birth here actually looks like. Barcelona is an extraordinary place to welcome a baby into the world.

There’s a moment every parent knows well when the house is quiet, the lights are low, and you’ve just drifted off to sleep when your baby’s little cry pierces the night again. If you’re wondering why your baby wakes up so often at night, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common concerns I hear from families and it’s something that can bring a lot of exhaustion and worry. But before we try to “fix” anything, it’s important to understand what’s truly normal, what’s temp

If you’ve ever wondered why your newborn doesn’t “sleep through the night,” you’re not alone and the truth is, they’re not supposed to! Newborn sleep can be unpredictable, and with so much conflicting advice, it’s easy to feel unsure. The first months are about connection, not perfection. Let’s explore some of the most common newborn sleep myths and the gentle truths behind them. Myth 1: “Newborns Should Sleep Through the Night” Newborns are biologically wired to wake often.

There’s a quiet magic in those first weeks of life; a newborn curled in your arms, tiny fingers clutching your hand, eyes fluttering as they sleep. And yet, for many parents, that magic can feel tangled with exhaustion, worry, and questions: “Am I doing this right?” “Is my baby sleeping enough?” “Why won’t they settle?” If you are pregnant or your little one is only a few weeks old, know this: what you’re experiencing is perfectly normal. Newborn sleep is not a puzzle to be s

This weekend, we’ll be turning the clocks back one hour in Spain as we move from summer to winter time. That familiar “fall back”  that seems harmless but can ripple through our days and nights in surprisingly powerful ways. You might think, “It’s just one hour, how much harm can it do?” But for families with little ones, that one hour can feel monumental. A baby who wakes at 6:00 a.m. will now wake at 5:00 a.m., a toddler’s naps might suddenly shift off rhythm, and the delic

The Toddler Years: Beautiful, Busy, and Boundary-Testing The toddler years are a truly magical time. They are full of discoveries, laughter, curiosity, and incredible growth. But they also bring new challenges, especially when it comes to setting boundaries. As parents, we quickly notice how our once-cooperative baby suddenly begins to test limits. They start saying “no” with a sense of power and purpose, exploring what that word means and what it brings. It can sometimes fee
