{via} … if it wasn’t for me! YOU’RE WELCOME! As an expat, living in a different country away from home, you encounter a whole lot of things that are just different from what you’re used to. Some things are significant, others barely noticeable. Still, in many regards you really don’t expect for things to be different and there…
Last week, the lovely Holly from Scattered Words awarded my blog with the “The Honest Scrap Award” . We’ve only “known” each other through our blogs for a short while, but I really appreciate that she passed this on to me. The rules of acceptance? I’m supposed to list 10 things that you may find…
Most people don’t know what it is like to share a birthday with a sibling. Most people probably don’t think it’s very desirable to share a birthday with someone in the family (as it might seem that you’d only get ‘half’ the attention). As for a (fraternal) twin like me, it feels the opposite way….

I have so much to write about, so many stories and feelings I want to share from my short, but oh-so-precious and unexpected visit with my family. The right words just still haven’t come to me yet.

I’m still trying to catch up on my Google Reader and I am working on some more blog posts. In the meantime, enjoy this little video of my niece and me. She completely cracks me up. We were dancing to a cell phone ringtone… and she couldn’t get enough of it. I just love her….

Heyho everybody. Somebody – that’d be me! – is re-appearing in the blogosphere after a much-too-short, but wonderful time with my family in Germany. I arrived safely back home Saturday night and I’ll give you a recap of my trip a little later this week, but today I need to share the wonderful news. Yesterday,…
Just before I’ll get on the plane today, Carolina will fill in for me one more time. Thank you, Caro! —————————– Hello San’s lovely readers! San was gracious enough to let me guest post for her while she is away spending this valuable time with her family in Germany. She asked if I could write…
Today I bring you a guest post from my blogger friend EmmySuh, who will introduce herself (and how we “met”) in her guest post for today :) Emmy was so nice as to volunteer as well to help me keep this blog going while I am away and she’ll also share some memories from her…
