In Our Mom Era

Ep 15: Wait… Swiss Kids Don’t All Go to the Same High School?

The Swiss school system… simple? Not exactly. In this episode, we break down everything from kindergarten to graduation, explain the confusing school tracks and talk about what it’s really like raising kids in Switzerland. We also touch on kids’ dental care, tooth-brushing struggles, and Elin casually reveals she still had two baby teeth until three years ago.

Ep 14: Did You Know This Before Becoming a Mom?

In this episode of In Our Mom Era, we share the real, unfiltered side of becoming a mom, from hearing “mom” all day long to constantly being covered in mess. We also talk about the identity shift after having a baby and the challenge of balancing career and family life.

Ep 13: What’s Your Parenting Obsession?

Car seats, bike helmets, and safety habits we grew up with. Elin shares why she’s so passionate about car safety, from growing up in Sweden (where safety is a big deal) to witnessing a serious car accident that completely changed how she thinks about kids in traffic. We also touch on the surprising differences in how safety is handled, from car seats to biking without helmets.

Ep 12: Is Moving With Kids a Complete Nightmare?

In this episode, we talk about the reality of moving with kids. Larissa recently went through a move and shares what actually helped make the transition easier for her kids, and what was more chaotic than expected… We also get into the topic of kids’ birthday parties and how they’ve become a whole thing. From simple home parties with hotdogs and ice cream when we were growing up to today’s location-based celebrations and detailed party planning. Has it all gotten a bit out of hand?

Ep 11: Fasnacht, Flights & First Aid

In this episode of Mom Era, we’re covering everything from confetti to serious topics. We talk about Fasnacht in Switzerland (yes, apparently you can celebrate it in Zurich!?), Larissa’s very exotic vacation plans, and then shift gears to something every parent should know: first aid for babies and toddlers.
