The second week of my trip home was spent in Italy. South Tyrol, to be exact. As previously mentioned, my parents took my sister and me skiing in Val Gardena every year ever since we were little and being able to finally go back there (with everybody) was such a special treat. I am giving…
I finally made a trip to Ikea a couple of weekends ago. It’s one of the places people love or hate (or so I heard), but I definitely fall in the former camp. I think Ikea has a lot of beautiful, affordable designs and while everybody can rather easily spot Ikea furniture in other people’s’…
Uhm, I feel like I just did my last “currently”-post. How is it another month later already? looking forward to my trip down to SoCal this weekend. Friends, delicious food, beach, toes-in-ocean-dipping and all. hoping to start working on my craft room in the next couple of weeks. It’s the only room in our house…
I owe you a fun recap of my trip home in March, but I’ve decided to break it up in travel chunks, rather than trying to do one big blog post about all of it. ‘Cause honestly? It’s too overwhelming and I wouldn’t even know where to start. So a little structure seems like the…
A lovely (and free!) knitting pattern for my knitting buddies.You’re welcome! Remember that I’ve kept talking about our grocery budget? Well, I loved this take on the difference between frugality vs. budgeting, because it explains exactly why I (am learning to) accept a higher grocery bill over just trying to spend as little as possible…
I finally get around to posting my Thai red curry recipe (I know some of you have been waiting for this!) I love this dish because it’s so versatile (you can really use any vegetables that you want) and so filling. I always thought Thai curry was very hard to cook at home, but it…
In February, my blog friend Nancy nominated me for the Liebster Award. I’ve been particularly thrilled, because did you notice that this award contains a German word? “Liebster” means “loveliest” or “most favorite” and it makes me happy to know that Nancy would consider my blog for this award, so thank you for the…
To be quite honest, I am still dealing with the (mostly) emotional jetlag that comes with my visits with family. It’s never easy to go from 60mph to literally ZERO in a matter of hours. I always find the transition from being there and “all of a sudden” being here again difficult (yaddah, yaddah, I…
A while back, I shared some of the regular meals that we eat during the summer months. I thought I’d also share some of the dishes that we’ve made repeatedly this winter. Since I eat both breakfast and lunch at work (and it’s mostly simple things and/or leftovers), we cook a full meal every evening….
