29: November Favorites
1.) It’s the time of the year where I bring out all the Vanilla candles. I just love the smell filling up our apartment! 2.) I’ve been using the Phonto app for a while and just love all the different features and different fonts! And the best part: it’s free! If you haven’t heard of it yet,…
28: Friday Facts
I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday! J and I hung out at home for the most part, watched movies (+ Friends reruns!), went for an early afternoon walk and then started cooking our own little Thanksgiving feast!

22: The Causeway Classic
Today it was time for J and I to attend our obligatory annual football game – the Causeway Classic – again. It’s the annual Football Game between UC Davis (Aggies) and Sacramento State University (Hornets) and it’s named after the Yolo Causeway, which is a 3.2-mile long elevated highway over the Yolo Bypass floodplain that connects Davis and Sacramento. Go Ags!…
21: Things you wouldn’t know: even more German idioms
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know that in the last two years during NaBloPoMo, I started a little series about German idioms. Idioms are awesome in every language and the more idioms you know in a foreign language, the closer you’ll get to perfecting your language skills. J and I…
