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 Electrical Things You Never Knew You Could Fix Yourself
I don't consider myself extremely handy -- and when it comes to appliances and electronics, I tend to be less than effective at making repairs. But I have been known to break some electronics in rather notorious ways. I guess maybe my problem is that I seem to know...
E. coli and growing your own
The last few weeks of shopping here in Germany have been interesting. You've likely heard by now that in Germany there has been an Escherichia coli (my favorite bacteria, BTW, because of the amusing name) outbreak and for about two weeks now, no one has had a single...
Office thinking
Because we're taking on new web design and consulting contracts here in Germany, I decided it was finally time to do something good for my home office. It's been a bit of a mess for a while. And although I have managed to mostly keep my desk clean (which really is not...
10 Ways to Get Rid of Stuff
I feel like I've been talking about decluttering and cleaning stuff out of your house for a while now--but I have to keep reminding myself that it's a goal or I may neglect to do it myself! Before you can really think about getting rid of stuff you have, you've got to...
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...

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...
10 Reasons I Have Been Slacking
I have been making an effort to post more quality over quantity posts the last few weeks. And you probably noticed that last week I neglected to post anything at all. That was mostly because we had some friends visiting from out of town. But we weren't really doing...
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...
Made in Germany Winners!
First, I'd like to thank everyone who entered in the Made in Germany contest (and any of the other Blogmania contests!) The response was great and I had a lot of fun reading all your responses about things you like about Germany. The beer and the food here were the...
