About me: Hi there! I’m the Mama of 3 Tartlets, an American expat trying to find my inner domestic diva in Bavaria, Germany. In 2009, I left my teaching job in the States to move our family 4,000 or so miles across the pond for the adventure of a lifetime. Going from a working stiff to a full-time ‘Hausfrau’ has been an adjustment, and who am I kidding, I’m still adjusting! My goal is to keep my 3 tartlets (9 years, 6 years and a wee little tot) and hubs happy, fed and supported in our new homeland without too many bumps in the road! Most of the time, I’m trying desperately to keep up with the tartlets, but in those moments I can break free – I love dabbling in photography, food, knitting (an ode to my Gramma) and whims of fancy (Lordy, I try just about everything) . I attempt to speak German, albeit terribly (my tartlets love to correct me), embrace (and try hard to understand) the culture around me and soak up as much as I can while living our adventure abroad!

Let the Repatriation Begin
So, here I sit, in a somewhat empty house, Target shopping bags littered on the floor, a bag of shoes overflowing and a crib (in pieces) in need of setting up. This does not feel like home; and Regensburg feels … Continue reading →...

Saying Good Bye?
Good byes stink. Over the past week, our family has had to say good-bye too many times; good-bye to classmates and teachers, ice cream shop owners, flower men, favorite waiters and of course to dear friends. We’ve had our final … Continue reading →...

The Day the Movers Came (Part 1: The Morning)
It’s hard to know how to handle moving day. Do you celebrate? Do you commiserate? What do you say to your kids? How do you handle your own emotions? Do you buy food the moving men? Snacks? Do you tip? … Continue reading →...
