Like many women in this world today, I wear many hats in this household. I run a business from home and I am also responsible for maintaining our house on a day-to-day basis. I struggle to find a balance between the two and perhaps that is because there always seems...
Beware of the evil cat haters
Last Thursday, I was returning from my morning walk with Ayla and our neighbor from across the street was ringing our doorbell to let me know my car door had been left open. Strangely enough, I don't remember leaving it open (especially as far as it was when he showed...
Got some aches & pains but only 2 months to go
We had another doctor's appointment last Tuesday. I would share the latest photo, but it's not really that great and you can't see much of anything. It's the same angle as the last one but a lot fuzzier. Apparently Mackenzie didn't want to hold still long enough for...
Meal plan: Revisiting some favorites
I finally got back into making meal plans again. I went all out this time and did 3 weeks at once. I haven't stuck to it too well so far but at least our freezer is FULL of food and when I do feel like being a good homemaker, I have a variety of things to choose from....
A little inspiration from our neighbors
Last Saturday after Stefan's parents headed home, we got the chance to go tour our neighbor's beautiful timber frame ("fachwerk") house. We have been trying and meaning to get over there for months, after finally speaking to the owner for the first time many months...
Goodbye dear old friend
It's sperrmüll time again here and that means there are piles of junk on every street corner in our town, along with tons of white panel vans with Polish license plates cruising around. The vans started appearing on Saturday morning already, waiting with anticipation...
Making wine without all the extras
We had the privilege and pleasure of being invited to visit friends in Karlsruhe on Saturday during a family wine making day. We weren't really sure what we were getting ourselves into but when we arrived, we found out it was us along with 3 generations of one family...
Vegetable soup with options
Prepare yourself for a long recipe here...but this is first a basic Hearty Vegetable soup that we canned and then a few variations which you can use when you open up a can of this goodness to eat it. This way you can eat the same soup over and over again without...
Yep, we’re gonna be needing one of those…
We decided to do some canning this weekend. Well, I made the decision and Stefan thankfully helped out along the way. During the process, one thing became extremely clear - we need an outdoor kitchen. We've been trying to decide what to do with the little covered...
That’s not shopping at all
After the visit to the doctor today, we ventured over to IKEA (yes, twice in one week which is scary to us too) and thought we were going to pick up the DVD shelves and chest of drawers from IKEA. We noticed that everything was about to go up in price with the new...
