{via} I am that girl who promised to update while on vacation and who failed miserably. I know I do owe you an apology for dropping off the face of the earth so rather unexpectedly. I really wanted to update here while I was on my trip and let you...

Update from Germany

May 17, 2010

Yes, I am still alive… obviously much too busy to spend time online, but I hope that you all understand. Time with family is precious and I only get to see my family for a few weeks every year. Especially this little guy has stolen my heart. I had a...

Avoiding Iceland

May 10, 2010

Just checking in with you real quick to let you know that I made it to Germany in one piece. It’s been three days and it’s been absolutely wonderful. As always, I am pretty much on-the-go all day, so I don’t know how much time I’ll find to write here,...

On being an aunt

April 6, 2010

{Warning: This blog post contains a lot of talk about babies, dirty diapers and swooning. Just be prepared.} My niece is just the cutest 15-month-old you can ever imagine. You probably think I am biased (and maybe you’re right, whatevs!), but Greta could steal anyone’s heart in a heartbeat. I...

Putting a smile on your face for the weekend

March 19, 2010

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...

Precious time

March 17, 2010

{image via weheartit} My Google Reader says: 654 unread items. I have no idea when to catch up. I haven’t spent as little time online as I did in the last 1,5 weeks in forever. I felt somewhat liberated and completely out-of-touch at the same time. But I wanted to...
