It all started with an article that Joanna Budelman, a partner inChillibreeze, wrote -http://www.chillibreeze.com/articles/ExpatMom.asp.Joanna had shared her experiences, as an American and as a
mother of a ve-year-old daughter. Ever since, Chillibreeze has beenreceiving a steady stream of enquiries from people abroad, eager for
more information.
