Monthly Favorites | April

 At the end of each month,  I share things that have made me happy, new discoveries, or recommendations that I find worthwhile. Enjoy. 1. I got myself a new pair of sneakers*, which I first saw when I was out shopping with Tanja  a few weeks ago. I am trying to not do a lot…

My (updated) travel carry-on essentials

My (updated) travel carry-on essentials

Two years ago, I shared a list of my travel essentials when I travel internationally. Not too much has changed, many of the things are still must-haves during travel, but I thought I’d update my list a little bit. The most important stuff: I might be a little paranoid, but when I travel internationally, I…

My Germany bucket list

My Germany bucket list

Once again, I’ll be traveling home soon and I have a bucket list of things to do when I am there.  Everyone does have such a list, right? Since I haven’t been home in two years (gasp!), my list is long, but again doesn’t include much out of the ordinary, unless you count being able…

Currently | April

STOKED | about receiving my confirmation letter that I’ll be officially starting my permanent position at my job on 4/28. My co-worker was joking that I am doing this absolutely right, by being on vacation when the effective date hits – way to start a “new” job! HOPING TO | get some stuff finished (or…

April Link Love

Around the Interwebs How I ditched my phone and unbroke my brain. Everybody loves Samin.  I do too. She’s so likable. Pictures taken from drones. Amazing. How to read the news like a scientist. I love this. This morning routine will save you 20+ hours per week. Are calories pointless? Food for thought! How to…

Daily Life | 2019 Spending Summary – Q1

Daily Life | 2019 Spending Summary – Q1

Hello, hello. It’s time to talk finances again. The first quarterly update for 2019. Things have changed a bit since we last talked. We’re no longer homeowners and are now renting again, which might – or might not – make a difference in our budget in 2019 (we’ll see). Right now, I feel like we’re…

Tuesday Topics: Favorite cross training activities

Tuesday Topics: Favorite cross training activities

I have to confess that when I started running about 5 years ago, I was really bad at cross training. Sure, I’d do a warm up before and stretching after each run (hey, which should count for something!), but as I was just finding my way into a new fitness routine, I didn’t really do…

Girl time in OC

Girl time in OC

Last week, I visited my #fromURLtoIRL friend Tanja in Southern California and I had such a fantastic time! Tanja, like me, is a German (dual) citizen and we’ve “immigrated” around the same time (2006/2007), however, I got my green card through marriage (as you know), but Tanja (and her husband Herbert) won the green card…

Monthly recap | March

Monthly recap | March

READ Reading is still slow…. still reading the same book (all month. Sigh). I actually had to re-borrow it from (a different) library because I didn’t get through it in 3 weeks.   COOKED I’ve cooked modified versions of this tortellini soup. One time, we used ground beef instead of sausage, another time with had…

What I read in March

What I read in March

It’s  official. I am in a reading rut (and I have no idea how to get out of it). I can’t seem to focus on books right now (much to my dismay). I only finished one book this month (again), and I started a second (which I haven’t finished yet). At least, the book I finished…
