At 34 weeks pregnant, I'm sharing all the latest on our home build, pregnancy with baby #9, and what life is like in this full season. Even though progress on the house feels slow, I'm finding peace in the extra time to make intentional decisions, and we are loving how our unique vision is coming to life. I talk about chimney brick, roofing surprises, and the proportions that make it feel like an old homestead. I also reflect on how textbook this pregnancy has been compared to my others and answer a few listener questions about storm windows and monitoring during labor. In this episode, we cover: Slow building progress continues, but the slower pace has allowed for more thoughtful, intentional decisions Finalized historic design elements like trim profiles, wall materials, and appliance choices— finding excitement in the progress even if it's gradual Chimneys are now bricked and the garage is roofed with wide-seamed metal that perfectly fits the historic vibe— a happy surprise with no overthinking! Main house will feature cedar shake roofing, while the porches and additions have metal to embrace the “old house with add-ons” story Reflections on how proportions, window placement, and overall structure are beautifully bringing to life the original vision of a “new old house” Pregnancy update at 34 weeks: similar symptoms and baby position as past pregnancies, feeling confident and ready Choosing minimal prenatal interventions— tracking iron and glucose at home, keeping midwife visits sparse Sharing our personal approach to open windows with no screens or storm doors for an indoor-outdoor connection Thoughts on Doppler use in labor and delivery— balancing caution with practical monitoring when needed View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

The Tajani emergency citizenship decree has been finalized, and it's reshaping what it means to claim Italian citizenship by descent. With new generational limits now in place, the process of obtaining Italian dual citizenship through jure sanguinis has become significantly more restricted—narrowing eligibility for many who had long considered applying. It's surprising how quickly this change took effect, particularly in a country where red tape usually slows everything down. But here we are. If Italian dual citizenship or reconnecting with your heritage through jure sanguinis has been on your mind and you're still eligible, now is the time to act—because the window of opportunity may not stay open for long. In this dual citizenship focused expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter, we'll go over the finalization of the Tajani decree and explore the surrounding topics and conversations that have emerged in its wake.If you find these episodes of Not Your Average Globetrotter helpful, entertaining and/or if you feel as if I've helped you save time, headaches, or legal fees, please consider making a monthly pledge on Patreon and becoming a monthly patron to help make more videos like this possible:

8 Passengers Fallout: Divorce Finalized as Ruby Franke Serves Prison Time The story of Ruby Franke officially closed a major chapter this week as a Utah judge signed off on her divorce from Kevin Franke—marking the legal end to a marriage that once played out in front of millions on YouTube, before unraveling in one of the most disturbing child abuse cases the state has seen in years. It's now on paper: the marriage that began in 2000, spanned six children, and was broadcast through a curated lens on the “8 Passengers” channel, is over. But the real story isn't the divorce. It's the fact that Kevin Franke is now the sole legal guardian of their four remaining minor children—kids who were, until recently, trapped in an abusive nightmare behind the closed doors of a so-called parenting enterprise. Let's rewind to how we got here. In August 2023, the illusion broke. One of the youngest Franke children—emaciated, injured, and desperate—escaped out of a window from the home of Jodi Hildebrandt in Ivins, Utah. That home wasn't a safehouse. It was a crime scene. The boy went to a neighbor's house asking for food and water, and what they saw led them to call police immediately. Authorities later found his sister in similar condition. The two women at the center—Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt—were arrested and eventually admitted to four counts each of aggravated child abuse, a second-degree felony. According to Washington County Attorney Eric Clarke, the kids had been kept in conditions he described as “concentration camp-like.” We're talking about extreme malnutrition, physical injuries, emotional torment—the works. Ruby Franke is now serving at least four years in Utah State Prison, with four consecutive sentences of one to fifteen years each. She's admitted to a range of abuses, including physically torturing her son, dunking his head underwater, forcing him into strenuous physical tasks, and making both children stand in direct sunlight for long periods without food or water. This wasn't “tough love.” It was cruelty, systemized and delivered under the pretense of discipline. Meanwhile, the divorce paperwork went through the usual formalities. Filed under “irreconcilable differences”—which feels like calling a wildfire a small campfire. Kevin Franke submitted the signed stipulation in early March, and by March 20th, Judge Roger Griffin finalized the divorce decree. Under the agreement, Kevin walks away with full custody, their Springville home, and a 2.8-acre property in Scofield. Ruby gets to keep $85,000 she withdrew before they split, but the rest of the couple's joint financial accounts go to Kevin, with the exception of an investment account in her name. Kevin also agreed not to pursue child support from Ruby, effectively considering anything owed already paid. It's a move that might say more about his priorities—focused on healing the kids rather than fighting over dollars. Neither side asked for alimony. Apparently, they both have what they need to move on—at least financially. What's more, despite everything, Ruby Franke has chosen to keep the last name “Franke.” Whether that's a legal convenience or something deeper is anyone's guess, but it's a curious choice given the devastation tied to that name now. Both Ruby and Jodi Hildebrandt accepted plea deals that cut their total charges from six to four. But make no mistake—the weight of what they admitted to remains enormous. They each face up to 60 years behind bars, though with Utah's system, they'll be eligible for parole after four. At her sentencing, Ruby addressed her children, thanking the police for “saving them”—and, she said, saving her. She claimed that being handcuffed was the beginning of her freedom, describing herself as so twisted by manipulation that she believed “dark was light and right was wrong.” It's a haunting statement, especially when you consider the cost it came with. In the end, the legal lines are drawn. Kevin Franke has custody. Ruby Franke has convictions. And six children are now trying to rebuild a childhood that was shattered under the watchful eye of a camera and the hidden weight of abuse. #8PassengersCase #RubyFranke #ChildAbuseSentencing #FrankeDivorceFinalized Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

It's a move that might say more about his priorities—focused on healing the kids rather than fighting over dollars. Neither side asked for alimony. Apparently, they both have what they need to move on—at least financially. What's more, despite everything, Ruby Franke has chosen to keep the last name “Franke.” Whether that's a legal convenience or something deeper is anyone's guess, but it's a curious choice given the devastation tied to that name now. Both Ruby and Jodi Hildebrandt accepted plea deals that cut their total charges from six to four. But make no mistake—the weight of what they admitted to remains enormous. They each face up to 60 years behind bars, though with Utah's system, they'll be eligible for parole after four. At her sentencing, Ruby addressed her children, thanking the police for “saving them”—and, she said, saving her. She claimed that being handcuffed was the beginning of her freedom, describing herself as so twisted by manipulation that she believed “dark was light and right was wrong.” It's a haunting statement, especially when you consider the cost it came with. In the end, the legal lines are drawn. Kevin Franke has custody. Ruby Franke has convictions. And six children are now trying to rebuild a childhood that was shattered under the watchful eye of a camera and the hidden weight of abuse. #8PassengersCase #RubyFranke #ChildAbuseSentencing #FrankeDivorceFinalized Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
