Oh, the joys of the holiday season. That special time of year when the weather gets colder, people come out to celebrate, and everyone just seems genuinely happier. Nowhere in the world is this Christmas joy more prevalent than at a German Christmas Market! Visiting a German Christmas Market is the quintessential Christmas activity. In my opinion, it represents the true spirit of the holiday season! The Christmas Markets are all about gathering with friends …
Alright people, today marks the official kickoff of Just Kate’s 2018 holiday season! This is the weekend where I usually start my Christmas shopping, begin decorating my home, and sip on peppermint hot cocoa while watching those cheesy Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. Sound familiar to anyone? This year, I’m releasing a set of Gift Guides to help you pick out the perfect gift for all those special people in your life. This Gift …
Happy November everyone! Can you believe that Halloween is over and we are entering into the holiday season? Yeah…me neither! Anyways, I hope you all had a great Halloween and if one thing’s for sure, I guarantee many of you ate your weight in leftover Reese’s and Kit Kat’s last night. Am I right? In case you’re wondering what to do with all of that leftover candy you have laying around, I have the perfect …
– This post contains affiliate links – Have you ever had one of those special moments in your life, the kind where you just knew that everything after this would change your life forever? Whether it was your wedding day, the birth of your child, or any other life-altering moment, I think it’s safe to say you would do anything to hold onto this moment and all of the memories that go along with it, am I right? …
Happy Friday! If you know me at all, I’m sure you’re aware that by no means am I the “Queen of Beauty”. I generally don’t like to fuss over a ton of beauty products after I have found my few favorite brands. However, Ryan got me a ton of products from Rituals Cosmetics, and I quickly discovered some new favorite items! We have a Rituals store right here in the center of Leipzig and let me …
Alright, let’s start off by addressing the elephant in the room. Yes, I am fully aware of the fact that we left for our honeymoon like 3 months ago and therefore, this post is LONG overdue (haha). But you know how summers are! One day it’s June and you’re lounging at the beach with a cold beer in hand, and the next minute it’s September and there are Back-To-School sales on every corner. What can …
Today’s Friday so you know what that means? Yup, Part 3 has officially arrived! In case you are new around here, a few weeks ago I started a mini soccer series where each week I am featuring one of our previously completed seasons here in Germany. I thought it would be a good idea to pay tribute to our first 3 years and dive into the details of each season so you all can read …
Andddd we’re back for Round 2! As I previously mentioned in my opening thoughts and in last week’s feature on our first year in the biz, each week I will be highlighting one of our previously completed seasons here in Germany. Personally, I think it’s important for us to get our (true) story out in the open so there are no misunderstandings, questions, or confusions. Not to mention, as crazy as some of these experiences …
Hey everyone! As I promised last week in my opening thoughts, each week I want to feature one of our previously completed seasons here in Germany. I felt it was important to highlight everything that went down each year so we can set the record straight and hopefully answer some of the questions that we are constantly getting. Furthermore, if the craziness of our experience provides a dose of entertainment for you, that’s always an …
Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week! Last weekend, Ryan kicked off his 4th professional season here in Germany. I have to brag (a little) because he started the year off strong by scoring the first goal of the 2018/2019 season and ending with a 3-0 win. To be honest, I am still having a hard time wrapping my brain around the idea that we have been residents of Europe for that long! …
