September 12, 2026
We've all heard the phrase "It takes a village." For new parents — especially expats becoming parents abroad — the village doesn't come without effort. But where to start? We cover local Dutch postpartum care and end with an exercise on finding and filling gaps in support, so you're not starting from scratch when you need it most.

September 26, 2026
The Singing Families circle is a warm, supportive space where the whole family can gather to breathe, sing, and find a sense of community. Guided by a postpartum doula, it's about grounding ourselves in (newfound) parenthood and the village around us.
