about birth
(realizing i’m writing a lot about kids & co and this is not my intention. anyway, this is and isn’t about them) TL;DR: I’m against home births. so there is this trend (at least in Luxembourg) about home births. they’re not recommended by the doctors, but there are midwives that are on board with this.…

Current status: proud of my latest two achievements. one, i made a mean meatball soup (this makes sense only in romanian). two, i gave a lecture to bachelor students today. that should encompass my whole being right now. Things I’m doing these days: well, I got back from Romania and realized the tiny one is…

Every weekend four croissants are somehow on our table: two with nutella and two with kinder bueno. How can you resist that? That’s not the point of this article. As I previously said, I started…

Life lately #1
This should be a regular blog post from now on, let’s see how it goes. Current status: stuck at home because the roads are too slippery, there’s code red everywhere and we can’t really get out of the house without breaking into ice skating.

2024
I’m starting the new year in recovery mode, after I’ve been sick for more than two weeks. A nasty cold took me by surprise, together with conjunctivitis from the little one that doesn’t want to leave my anymore. My rib cage hurts from all the coughing and I have now some afternoon headaches. Understandably, I’m…
