17 cents? You can’t do that!

As you’ve possibly noticed, Stefan and I have a flair for all things entrepreneurial. On the days when I am not here on NOH blogging away, I am generally wrapped up in a storm of web consulting craziness, dreaming up some wonderful graphic designs, bossing around our team (I’m a nice boss, I swear), creating a new fantastic product to market or working up a business or marketing plan for... read more

A pantry moth plague – Updated

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably remember me talking about these evil, stupid pantry moths back in January. I started battling them last year, and I still have not managed to get rid of them. But I wanted to let you know that a few more things have been added to this point since then — and there has been some great discussion going on as well. I’ve been quite... read more

Ten Tasks for Spring

April is nearly over (I can hardly believe it!) and I certainly hope that winter will not be coming back for many months. We did have a bit of a cool snap here in Germany and it is definitely still very “fresh” when we wake up in the morning (around 50 degrees) but in the sunshine, it’s been just gorgeous and if I didn’t have mounds of work holding me to my computer, I would outside... read more

Utilizing blocks of time

In the movie About a Boy, Hugh Grant plays a man who has more money than pure interest in life, and he talks about how he breaks down each day into “units” of 30 minutes. This not only helps him to structure his day, but most tasks he participates in take about this amount of time. So he manages to keep himself from getting bored. A hair cut, a TV show, a meal. And if need be, the blocks can be... read more

10 Simple Things in Life I Love

In life, we all too often tend to get caught up with the chaos and mayhem of everyday life, that we often forget to slow down and just enjoy the every day moments of life that are so special but may quickly pass us by. Kisses from Mackenzie, who gives them freely now when asked…even if they are a bit sloppy at times. The sound of her laughter when she’s really laughing about being tickled... read more

Backing up your computer on S3

While I’m on the subject of securing your WordPress site and backups, I want to talk about a software program I recently came across called CloudBerry Desktop Backup. Now if you’re not familiar with Amazon S3 cloud server, all of this might make you go cross-eyed in a few moments. But basically, because Amazon is just so huge, they decided to open up their servers to the public and charge about... read more

Today the plates came out

It’s an exciting day here. The sun is shining, it’s already close to 60 degrees and it’s shaping up to be an absolutely beautiful day. There are about a thousand projects I would love to be outside doing today, namely digging up weeds in the garden. But that’s just going to have to wait a little bit longer. Today, the final step in putting our accident behind us, has been completed.... read more

Des gibts doch nicht!

I cannot believe the words I am about to type… Sometime in the very wee hours of Sunday morning, car capers rode down our street and stopped at Stefan’s car. And then they apparently worked their car theft magic and were probably inside and driving away in about a minute. Chances are, we’ll never see that BWM 750i ever again. Stefan is definitely in mourning because he really loved that... read more

Already 26 months old

Dear Mackenzie, What a real little person you are now, with so much to say and always on the move. I don’t think you can sit still for more than 2 seconds at a time…unless you’re transfixed on Sesame Street which is an entirely different story. Then we can’t even talk to you because you’re totally absorbed into the show. But we all get like that with our favorites from time to... read more
