It’s family dinners, slow weekends, growing herbs in the garden, DIY projects, meal planning, and raising kind, grounded girls who understand the value of what they have. In this conversation, we talk about the reality of moving to Dubai as an expat - the emotional first year, living far from family, and how to build community and a sense of home from scratch. Laura’s story is a reminder that Dubai doesn’t have to look the way people think it does. You don’t have to change who you are to live here.</p><p>If you need a little reassurance that it’s possible to create your own version of home here, this episode is for you.</p><p><br/></p><p>Find Laura on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/homebylaurajones/<br/><br/></p><p>Find us on instagram: @wearemothertongue</p><p>Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mothertonguethepodcast</p><p><br/></p><p><b>THE MOTHER TONGUE PODBOOK</b></p><p>The Mother Tongue podbook is a collection of interviews with experts on everything you need to know about parenthood from pre-conception all the way through to when your kids starts school.
