My Favorite Intercultural Posts

This year, I have truly committed myself to blogging every week. I sit down every day to write down my thoughts and share what I have learned in my intercultural family. Sometimes it turns into a list of ways we have tried blending cultures that didn't work and I share them to prevent all of you from making the same mistakes. Other times I share in the progress we have made. Our family will always blending cultures, it will never be done. We will always be diligent in trying to present two cultures to our children. I know it will make them well rounded children who are confident in who they are. My biggest goal this year is to continue to build a community of other families experiencing the same adventure. If you are in a mixed family, be sure to sign up to join the AIW (Almost Indian Wife) community. I will share tips and advice for blending cultures, teaching new languages, how to integrate yourself into a new family, raising kids in a multicultural family, and it's a place to ask for advice. Chances are you have the same question as someone else in our group. Here are a few of my favorite posts to get you started.
