About

I started blogging when I first moved to China in 2013. It was a way to keep my family and friends back home up-to-date on my experiences. That blog captured the experiences of my falling in-love with my now husband. My next blog came from a much more painful time in my life. I had just had a miscarriage after trying so hard to conceive. I was devastated after the loss and uncertain I'd ever be able to have children. Fortunately, that blog ultimately captured my and my spouse's journey into parenthood.

​

With the addition of our daughter Alaya, we became the BAM (Bochuan, Alaya, and Maxi) family. Now, we've made another unexpected move. We've decided to raise our daughter in Finland, a country foreign to both my husband and I. We have no idea what we'll encounter raising a biracial, multilingual child in Finland, but we hope you'll join us in the ups and downs (and we don't just mean in temperature).
