With our moving deadline of July 17th drawing closer by the day, we have been scouring the apartment ads online for weeks now. If you've ever looked for a new place to live, you know it can get confusing, stressful and just downright crazy. Our plan is to see about 20...
It's no secret by now that we are moving to Berlin and that we plan to move into an apartment in the city to do the whole "city living" thing for a while. It's clearly a pretty major change of lifestyle for us (and some probably think we're nuts -- who knows, we might...
You no doubt noticed the frequency and perhaps even the increased urgency around our house lately when it comes to getting rid of things. What you may not know is that we have now been living in Germany for almost 10 years. Yep, as of July 28th, 2012, Stefan will have...

I know I haven't mentioned it much at all so far this year, but I am putting together a HUGE giveaway for NOH readers for the second weekend in April. The theme is Made in Germany and I thought it might be fun to give you a sneak peak at some of the fun and practical...
