Amira is 8 years old! And this podcast is part of Amira’s present because Amira loves the podcasts (and Inessa and Rafa do, too). It’s a quick look back, a quick examination of the present, and a quick look forward. Happy Birthday, Amira!

Going places, enjoying things, and getting some sleep.

Discussing with kids what comes to mind at random. Winter travel to Latvia, hachapuri, activities, and more.

A very quick recap of the last couple of weeks.

Nonsense, boredom, cow milking, sour cream, and anything else to try and fall asleep.

Sitting outside, sipping latte, and thinking about singing in the car.

Amira and I talk about cleaning up the mess she made, which does not result in the actual cleaning just yet.

Today it’s Secret Pizza Party and also one story from the Raggedy Ann book.

Rafa, the oldest child, and I have a discussion about the Gingerbread Man cartoon, foxes, being eaten, and a number of other random things along the way.
