We have finally taken the first leap into selling a few of our things on ebay so I thought I would post something here for everyone we know living in Germany or Europe who might be interested in buying some of our stuff. 😉 Most of the stuff we are currently selling...
CLOSED: Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Giveaway {7/7}
Do you get that dry, chapped feeling on your hands during the summer? Working in the garden, washing dishes, playing sports and even just day-to-day tasks can really take a toll on your skin. I have to admit that it always seemed that my hands got unbelievably dry,...
Shield your skin this summer
When I received an email from the PR department at Skin MD, telling me all about their Skin MD Natural line and their super hydrating Shielding Lotion, I was really intrigued. The winter was rough on my hands; and I'm sure that any housewife will agree that washing...

10 Things I’d Like to Grow This Year
I can't believe it's the middle of May already and I have yet to put one seed in the ground! I had such good intentions, but we've been quite swamped with work and visitors and traveling and LIFE! But I still hope that one of these days soon, I will still put some...
Hanau’s Soap Box Derby
By chance, we found out that this past weekend, not too far from our home, Germany's largest soap box derby (Seifenkistenrennen) was taking place. The Hanauer Seifenkistenrennen has apparently been going on for many, MANY years (at least since Stefan was a kid) and...
