Wow. Over a month since I last posted? I’m really sorry. But life happens, you know? . Back in post 24 I wrote about my initial impressions of how the work culture here in the US differs from back home in Australia. Fast forward three whole months and apart from learning a lot about the elements of my role and culture of the company, I’m learning *a lot* about communication culture in the US. . New, well overdue, post. Link in bio.

Inspired by your suggestions, dear Reader, I have decided to revisit our kids’ Big Little Perspectives and dedicate this post to the children and their experience(s) of settling in. . New post. Link in bio.

This is blog 26. . And, gosh... you know what that means? It’s been over six months since we moved from our comfortable life in Melbourne to our somewhat uncomfortable equivalent here in Silicon Valley. What a journey it has been. . New post. Link in bio.

I really feel like being a working mum is the right balance for *me*. So far, returning to work has helped me feel more like the independent me that I love and remember so well. All this, ladies and gentleman, is absolutely making me a better mother. The best mum that *I* can be. . You want to know what it’s like? Let’s do it. Come, slip into my (probably food stained, rained on, definitely-not-childproof) shoes. . New post. Link in bio.

I know I’m only four weeks into work life in the US, but wow... the change has been immense. More than immense. Sure, it’s been a really positive (albeit very tiring) cognitive challenge but the strain it’s placed on my ability to juggle a bazillion things at once deserves a big, ol’ honourable mention too. . Taking this all into account, I feel primed and ready to share with you my initial impressions on how the work culture here in Silicon Valley differs from that back at home. . A Tale of Two Workplace Cultures . New post. Link in bio.
