One thing I didn’t realise at first about car seats…

When you have a baby, there’s so much to figure out.
What matters most, what to focus on, what’s actually important.

And car seats are one of those things that aren’t as simple as they seem, not just in the beginning, but as your child grows.

This post is just a reminder of those small things that actually make a big difference: a tight harness, the right setup, and keeping them rear-facing longer.

Save this so you can check your setup later,
and share it with someone who might find it helpful.

Raising bilingual kids in Switzerland? Congratulations 🤍

First of all: you are not confusing your child.
For many years, parents were told that two languages would “delay” children. Research today shows the opposite.

Bilingual children often develop:
• strong cognitive flexibility
• good problem-solving skills
• better attention control
• cultural awareness

During this journey, some things your child will do are completely normal:
• Mixing languages
• Answering in a different language than the one you used
• Understanding everything but speaking mostly one language

There is no one perfect method. Some families choose:
• One parent, one language
• One language at home, another outside
• Different languages depending on time or situation

What matters most is consistency and emotional connection.

At home, focus on:
• Speaking your strongest language
• Keeping daily routines in that language
• Reading, singing, and counting regularly
• Encouraging instead of correcting too much

Daily exposure builds fluency.

And if your language feels like a “minority language” within your closest family, that can be tough and it can feel lonely sometimes. But your language is part of your child’s identity.

Small rituals make a big difference.
Read and sing in your language.
FaceTime relatives.
Introduce TV shows or audiobooks in your language.
Make it part of everyday life.

Living in Switzerland is truly a gift when raising multilingual kids. With bilingual Kitas, international schools, and multiple languages all around (especially in bigger cities), your child grows up between cultures, and that is powerful!

Every bilingual journey looks different.
You are doing better than you think 🤍

Save this for later when doubt creeps in.
And share it with another parent raising kids between languages.

📍 Baur’s
This is my favourite bar in Zurich at the moment. The atmosphere is lovely, the music isn’t too loud, the interior design is a mix of luxury and the English countryside, and the staff are wonderful. Well worth a visit!

Today is the last day of Bo’s Nest before I close it down for good. There are still a few items left on the website which are significantly reduced in price so take a look if you need new swimwear or fleece jackets for your kids.

Thank you to all customers for your purchases and to everyone cheering for me ❤️

This is not the last you’ll see from me 🙈I am keeping my instagram account and the podcast .podcast will continue running as normal, it’s just the webshop which I will no longer be working with.

Cheers! 🥂

Regularly pinching myself that we get to live here and that my kid is actually growing up in Zurich. 7 years later and I still love it so much 🇨🇭

Anyone else finding five-star hotels surprisingly good with kids? We had lunch at Grandhotel Belvédère in Davos this weekend, and once again I was so impressed by how well five-star hotels work with little ones 🙈

The hotel had a lovely kids’ menu, and we were sitting in the hotel bar where there was plenty of space, so we didn’t feel like we were bothering anyone else. The staff was amazing, talking and joking with our son and making him feel so welcome with kids’ cutlery and a cute glass with crocodiles, plus a bag of crayons, stickers, and a game to play with.

On top of this, they also had a great playroom. We’ll definitely be back! ✨

As you know by now, I’m closing down my webshop Bo’s Nest and here is me elaborating on it a bit more in Larissa’s and my podcast .podcast. The sale is on until end of February and then it’s goodbye Bo’s Nest forever. I’ll continue posting about my life as a Swedish mom in Switzerland here on instagram and I hope you want to follow along.

The world’s easiest pasta dish 🍝

I made this for my toddler today, and he happily ate the sauce straight from the mixer jug while telling me how good it was.
Then I mixed it with the pasta… and suddenly it was a no 🙈
So next time, I’ll just serve the sauce separately.

The recipe is from my favourite Swedish Instagram account Knatteplock, which shares lots of easy recipes for the whole family.



Ingredients
• 350 g pasta of your choice
• 1 can crushed tomatoes (about 400 g)
• 1 dl sun-dried tomatoes in oil
• 1 dl fresh basil
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• 250 g plain cottage cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Parmesan cheese, for topping
• Halloumi as an extra topping



How to Make It
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
2. Blend all sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Mix the sauce with the freshly cooked pasta and serve
(or keep it separate if your toddler prefers it that way 😅).

I shared how I store my kid’s stroller a while ago, and since so many of you found it helpful, I’m sharing it again. This chest of drawers is so useful and practical, it fits the stroller, diaper bag, rain sets, shoes, and so much more. Now I’m thinking about repainting it, but I can’t decide on a color. Any suggestions?
