Oops! Even the best-laid plans hit a dead end sometimes.

Ten Steps to a Happy Thanksgiving
I know it's hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is literally just around the corner. I kind of hyperventilated a little when went on eBay yesterday and it said 47 days until Christmas! With only 16 days left until the main turkey event, now is the time to start...
Our local supermarket
Well, after living here for almost a month, I finally made the first trip to the local supermarket. Up until now we've been living off of food we already had before we moved and from Metro, the wholesaler like Costco & Sam's Club which we have here in Germany. But...

Today's post comes from Jess Signut. Here's a little bit about her: "My parents were travelers since before I was born. Even in the womb, I was able to travel all over the place! Boy, did things NOT change as I grew older! Knowing there’s more to the world than the...

Going to be a busy weekend
It's a 3-day weekend here in Germany because Monday is Pentecost which is a federal holiday here. As it turns out, this is a fairly popular weekend for events in the area. Not only is it the yearly old-timer tractor fest here in Beusem (yes, many photos and a video...
There once was a little bison
I've briefly mentioned here and there that we have listed a whole bunch of stuff on eBay, but I figured I should tell you a little bit more about all our listings. We've lived here in Germany for 8 years now. It's amazing how the time just seems to fly by (and it only...
Our first guest
We had our first guest here last night. A friend of ours who we go climbing with was finally able to come spend some time with us. Not only have our lives been a bit hectic lately with the new dog, house and everything else, but our friend has been finishing up...

Fitness Friday: Put a big slacker sticker on my forehead
You may have noticed I didn't post last week. That's because I have been neglecting my Wii. Such a sad story but I just haven't made the time. I have been busy working on things around the house, barely even making time to blog - it just seems like there is always...
10 random things to know about running
I've now officially been running for a little over 4 months -- and for those who are already runners, you know that once you start, you either love it or you hate. It's not that you love running WHILE you're running, and especially not when you get up at 6am to go...
Assessing your priorities
You may have noticed that several weeks ago, there was a bit of a slow down in posts here at NOH. You may have started to wonder whether or not I had fallen out of love with blogging (the answer is a big resounding "NO!" which you've probably noticed by now). But I...

The great apartment search in Berlin
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 all starts with a sink…
Ok, my hormone spike seems to have passed...and I have officially started on the first of the 31 day program from FlyLady. Wow, I kinda feel like a recovering alcoholic or something. 😉 I mentioned it before but the first step is to shine your sink...and keep it empty...
