We had a whirlwind last few days of December, first few days of January. We spent New Year’s in and around Edinburgh, Scotland and then mother nature liked us there so much that we ended up with a cancelled flight because of high winds. We did make it back home safely the following, evening there. ...
Late fall and winter is my favorite time in Germany. Especially the last week of November and the first few weeks of December because the Christmas Markets are in full swing. They’ll continue until this Friday, but today was the last weekend day of Christmas Markets. And I’m a little sad. Shops are closed on ...
Christina posted a “December Confessions” post and I felt like joining in on the fun. I take my coffee with half coffee, half milk and the equivalent of one packet of sugar. I feel weird about this, so few people know it. I’ve had several journals throughout my life and have lost a number of ...
I’m so embarrassed. My holiday decorations are limited to: one little santa man made out of wood, Colmar (my elf on the shelf), two advent calendars (both chocolate, thank you very much) and a snowman thermometer still in it’s wrap. I took lights out yesterday and put them around the living room until my son ...
I’ve been a little hesitant to post this because I’m waiting for some supplies to come in so I can add the finishing touches. I decided to go ahead and share because I love seeing everyone’s work. So here are the first 5 days of my DD – as of this moment. I have the ...
What a great weekend! One thing I love about Germany: The Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market).

We’re fortunate to live in ...
First, only one day into the Reclaim Time class at BPC and I am so, so, so glad I signed up for this class. I had a bit of a mishap yesterday when I tried to print the handout before my son’s nap. I had about a 5 minute window to do it and the ...
First, I have question. I tried to add the link to say I’m participating in Ali Edward’s DD for 2011, and not only did it not work, but it deleted all my “text” widgets in the process. I’m on wordpress, so if anyone has any idea why, please let me know. Ok. I’m really excited ...
Yay! I’m so happy I finished this off last night. I only had a few pages to go and I rushed through them, but fortunately the 23-25 tend to be picture heavy anyway, so I didn’t need to go into as much detail. I’m still considering adding more to the album (Dec 26-Jan 6, the ...
I’m so excited to take the Big Picture’s Class Reclaiming My Time. I signed up for it yesterday and it starts on Thursday. See, what happened is, I had an interesting weekend. A condensed version: My parents went back to the states on Saturday. Being an expat, away from family and good friends and with ...
