A year in review: 2020

A year in review: 2020

How do you sum up this godforsaken year? Well, let me say first: this has by no means been the hardest year of my life. I’ve personally had more challenging years, but it’s hard to ignore the fact of what we’ve all been through collectively in 2020. I’m writing this from a place of immense…

Making the best of Christmas 2020

Making the best of Christmas 2020

Let me just tell you, the best thing to do to combat this year’s Christmas…

10 best purchases of 2020

10 best purchases of 2020

I saw a couple of posts from other bloggers, highlighting some of their favorite purchases from this crazy year and because sharing is caring, I thought I’d also let you know about things that I bought this year that I don’t regret buying.  1. A desk chair – when it became clear that I’d be…

Have yourself a merry little Christmas tree

Have yourself a merry little Christmas tree

Before Christmas is over (well, it officially is, I guess, but I tend to keep the Christmas magic around for a little longer than most people. And since in Germany, we keep our trees up until January, 6th (Epiphany)), I thought I’ll quickly tell you the story of this year’s Christmas tree.  I’ve lamented over…

A holiday wish & gift list

A holiday wish & gift list

All I want for Christmas this year is – obviously! – for this virus to go away and for everyone to see their families and loved ones. Duh. Screw the gifts. Since we can’t have that, we’ll distract ourselves with some pretty things and shiny objects, shall we? I put together a little holiday wish…

What I read in November

What I read in November

I had high hopes of getting a lot of reading done in November, especially with the long holiday weekend and nowhere to be. Well, let’s just say things didn’t quite work out that way. I ended up finishing one book in November. It was a hard, but necessary read. Maybe that’s why it was also…
