Massachusetts, USA: The Circumcision Decision
Here in the USA, circumcision's a big deal. It's a big financial deal for the hospitals performing the procedure, it's a big deliberated deal for the parents of a newborn male and, I can only assume, a big traumatizing deal for the baby going under the knife. When I...
Washington, USA: 5400 Miles, 2 Little Boys and 1 Mom

NORWAY: EYE ON CULTURE: National Day
“Today is the day we celebrate our Constitution, which was signed in 1814. The traditional way of celebrating this day is a children’s parade. The holiday is recognized throughout Norway, and I am sure that wherever there is a school, there is a celebration going on!
When I was a child, this was, next to Christmas and Birthdays, the highlight of the year. Let me explain…”
MINNESOTA, USA: Meet the “thirdeyemom”
“But I realized that I was never ever truly happy. Having my son, going through three months of severe postpartum depression and finally recovering made me realize that I never wanted to leave him with anyone else, no matter how lonely or difficult a stay-at-home mom’s life was. To this day, six and a half years later, I haven’t gone back and I realize it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I wouldn’t trade the time I’ve had with my kids for anything.”
