Remember when I announced last year that we had sold our house ? I also told you that I’d share more about our new place once I had wrapped my head around the move, but then I never did. So, I hope late is better than never. One year ago today, we moved from our…
I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. #nablopomo2019 My family Contrary to popular belief, Germans do not run around in Dirndls and Lederhosen on a daily basis, not even in Bavaria. So this is not a picture of how we usually dress. However, as it has become…
Just a heads up, this post will be photo-heavy. Just like I did two years ago for my niece’s communion, I planned my visit back home this year, so that I could attend my nephew’s first communion. It’s one of these once-in-a-lifetime events for which I had to try and be there. I miss out…
A week ago, J and I moved. We are no longer homeowners. I know, this announcement just came out of left field for you guys. In all honesty, I didn’t feel like discussing it and I also didn’t want to “blog through the process”. I had mixed feelings about the decision and I just didn’t…
I know, I know, here we are in 2018 already and I am talking about Christmas. Who wants to talk about a Christmas that is over a week old now? Well, I do. Because I have written a Christmas recap every year for years and if nothing else, this will be a post just for…

My niece’s first communion was the main reason I was traveling home last month. I am her godmother and wanted to be part of the ceremony. I arrived home on Saturday afternoon and the communion was on Sunday. We had a small breakfast at my parents’ house before we got ready for the church service…
As I mentioned, at the beginning of my Germany trip, I spent 24 hours near Munich visiting my best friend from back home. She moved to Munich a couple of years ago and I had yet to see where she now lives with her husband M at Lake Starnberg. I first flew into Frankfurt and…
Every time I travel back home, I have a bucket list of things to do when I am there. This is totally normal, right? Everybody makes lists like this. Since this is my hometown I am visiting, my list includes nothing much out of ordinary, nostalgic things (these are by no means tourist-y suggestions, sorry!)……
I know, I know. We’ve lived in our house for 7+ months now *gasp* and I still haven’t given you the big tour. The reason is that there is still so much more I want to do to this space, but purchasing ALL THE NEW THINGS requires time. We’ve made a few investments already, but there are…
