Before my hysterectomy, I did not feel I really had time to prepare myself. I received a call on March 19 for an operation scheduled on April 11. In between, there was not really any room to think it through or to back out easily.

On Sunday, we went to see The Sheep Detectives at the cinema. I did not really know what to expect. An investigation led by sheep may sound completely absurd on paper.

During the holidays, M-Chan and I spent a few evenings watching The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom on Netflix together. I have to admit that, at first, the title did not exactly inspire confidence. It is a bit long, a bit dramatic, and it sounds like many other anime titles I probably would not remember if I came across them by chance.

Since we left France in 2007, our life has been built elsewhere. First came Japan, where Gaby was born. Then the Netherlands, Taiwan where M-Chan was born, New Zealand where Jaja was born in turn, and finally England, where we live today. Looking at this journey, I realize that it has been almost twenty years since we began building our daily life far from our country of origin.

Last week, I received an unexpected call from the school, the 6th form, more precisely, from the school nurse. I was at home on the sofa in forced rest mode, forbidden from doing anything, so I wasn't expecting that kind of news at all.

With a child with special needs, the little things in everyday life are very important. Here, I share our tips for transitions, outings, food, and the role of visual routines like the annual calendar, to make everything smoother, more predictable, and more reassuring for the child.

Shibou Yuugi de Meshi o Kuu is a truly unique series, and that is exactly what makes it so fascinating. From the very first episodes, you can tell that this is not a typical story. The atmosphere is strange, tense, and at times unsettling, but it also has something addictive that makes you want to keep watching. It is the kind of series that does not try to appeal to everyone, but immediately establishes its own world.

I wanted to talk about my surgery, because some experiences deserve to be told without polishing them too much.

The Way of the Househusband is a manga that really stands apart. At first glance, you might think it is a story about an intimidating former yakuza, with a threatening gaze, a scarred body, and an aura that could make anyone tremble. And that is exactly what it is… except that instead of returning to organised crime, he becomes an extremely dedicated househusband, fully committed to everyday tasks. That contrast is exactly what gives the manga its charm. Tatsu, the main chara

Having a child with an invisible disability means living in a reality that many people do not see and that some struggle to understand. When, on top of that, doctors talk about a medical mystery and no clear diagnosis can put words to what we observe every day, the situation becomes even more complex.

Thermae Romae Novae is a Netflix series that is truly out of the ordinary. The story follows Lucius, a Roman architect who is passionate about baths, and who suddenly finds himself thrown into modern-day Japan. Through his travels, he discovers baths, onsen, and habits that are completely different from his own. The concept may seem totally absurd at first, but that is exactly what makes the series so charming.

Hysterectomy, defined as the surgical removal of the uterus, is generally considered within a biomedical discourse focused on pathology, therapeutic indication, and clinical effectiveness. Yet such an approach tends to obscure the social and symbolic dimensions of this organ. In anthropology, the body is never purely biological: it is also the product of cultural constructions, social norms, and power relations.

People sometimes tell us that when you have a child with specific needs, you should put your life on hold. As if everything had to stop, as if our family were supposed to wait for a simpler, lighter, easier time. But I refuse that idea.

The moment has come to tell you goodbye. Not in anger, nor in regret, but with a full, lucid gratitude, and a tenderness that will not fade away. You have been, for a long time, the silent center of my life. The first apartment, invisible but essential, where my three children started their story. Three times, you rendered possible what exceeds words. You carried, protected, sheltered. You were that intimate place where everything begins, where life takes shape even before ha

Travelling with children is already quite an adventure. So naturally, when there are also specific needs, many people wonder how to do it…

Suzume is the kind of film that stays in your head long after the credits roll.

For his birthday, Jaja received a rather special gift... an ant colony!

I just finished The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, and the more I think about it, the more I realise that what touched me doesn’t come only from the romance, but also from the context in which it exists.

Jaja loves chess. But not just to play it. He actually lives it. With him, a game can start anywhere. Even (especially) in a supermarket, between two aisles and a few perplexed looks.

Your Lie in April is not just a simple story between two teenagers in love with music, but also about everything that surrounds it, especially the weight of the past and the pressure linked to music.
