I think I speak for us all when I say that this has been one nasty Easter and I personally don’t know anybody who actually had a nice one. At the present, I am in Vienna, Austria going on stressful day trips from one day to the next. I planned on going to the Easter […]

The Customer Is Not Always King
It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do, that and the fact that I could be getting a new car very soon. That really does work wonders. With 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, I feel like a new person, that and the thought of getting a new car. There are few things that get […]
A Kraut Kristmas
I didn’t have much of any sort of Thanksgiving this year but I hope to make up for it with Christmas and New Year’s. My only regret is not spending it with family and friends like I did last year even though I came back at least 10lbs heavier. Just breathing the American air tends […]
American Heartbeat
As of September 27, 2008, I have been living outside Munich 4 years and my children are fully integrated into German society, attending school and daycare. Both of my children are bilingual while I still haven’t fully grasped the German language. My daughter has even picked up Hungarian from the lady that takes care of […]
The Parisian Way
What is it about the movie Ratatouille that makes people ravenous? Every time I pop it in the kids come a runnin’, wanting me to make them something to eat. My son is sitting here practically drooling, asking me why the name Gusteau sounds so good. I have to admit, the movie makes me hungry […]
The City of Light
Since I live in the middle of Europe, I have had several friends ask me about my travels, specifically France, so today I will indulge you. Let’s talk about France, Paris to be exact. I think I am the only person who had never dreamed of going. I’m sorta strange. I always had my sights […]
London Calling
As someone who has always loved English history, I was naturally thrilled when I got the chance to go to the UK in the summer of 2009. Growing up American, our country is practically entwined with our European sister, but their culture seemed so much more interesting. I’m what you would call an Anglophile, someone […]
In Der Schweiz
I am going to save a lot of time for you and me by not writing this in German or French. I’m not sure I could if I wanted to. That being said, let’s talk about Switzerland. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and the people are friendly but it is VERY expensive. I was warned and I […]
The Weary Traveler
What is it about traveling that makes you so tired? Just traveling in a car for a few hours and checking into a hotel can be tiring. Especially packing and unpacking repeatedly. Not to sound ungrateful for being fortunate enough to travel, but I HATE HATE HATE doing either/or. I would just be content to […]
Fabric of Life
I love traveling and learning about different cultures. I have always been interested in going to far off places since I was a child. The best part of trip is that it stays with you forever, changing you in some form or another. I love incorporating things I have learned into my daily routine. I […]
