Happy Memorial Day Weekend everybody! I hope you all are home from work and gearing up to enjoy time with friends and family over the course of the next few days. We have a jam-packed weekend coming up and are busy getting all of our food prepared for our Memorial Day picnic. One of our family’s all-time favorite weekend snacks (even on non-holiday weekends) is our homemade salsa! We are huge lovers of chips and …
Our month of travel begins today and I could not be more excited! Our first stop? Drum roll, please…I said, drum roll, please…USA BABY! Ryan and I haven’t been home to see our friends and family since our wedding last summer, so we are itching to get these wheels up! With all the traveling that we have ahead of us, we definitely had some serious packing to do this past week. Something I take very …
Well…my mid-twenties have finally arrived! Today I am celebrating my 25th birthday and to be completely honest, I can’t believe I’m a quarter-century old already. Sometimes I feel like when I envisioned myself in my mid-twenties, I pictured myself having more of my sh*t together (haha). Like maybe I wouldn’t still be wearing Victoria’s Secret Pink sweatshirts from middle school, or maybe I wouldn’t still be getting acne. But hey, do any of us really …
Hello friends! Ryan had his last game of the season this past weekend so for us, this means one thing and one thing only…SUMMER VACATION (can you hear me screaming from where you are? haha). Ryan and I made a promise to ourselves that we would get out and do some traveling and sightseeing during the summer break. First up on our list? Bastei Bridge! Before we go any further, I feel I must tell …
This weekend, Jax turns 2! Since this is the first birthday we are celebrating with our fur baby, we decided to make this one a bit special. The past 8 months with Jax has honestly been so amazing! He has left such a big pawprint on our hearts and he has really made us into a family. Therefore, we felt that he should get to celebrate his birthday with his very own treat- doggie cupcakes! …
Stuttgart was the second city we lived in here in Germany after we moved from Magdeburg. During our very first visit to “Stuggi”, we were there solely because of football. Ryan was on trial with a team located in Stuttgart, so I went along with him for the one week we were scheduled to be there. Since we had no idea if we would be moving there for good, we packed in all of our …
I’m the type of girl who loves to read…I mean, I REALLY love to read! When I get my hands on a good book, I usually will not put it down for long before finishing it. But for some reason, I don’t read many books during the winter months. I think the depressing weather leaves me a bit uninspired. However, when spring and summer roll around, I typically start a new book almost every week. …
Happy Tuesday everyone! Can you believe April will be over next week? Hopefully, you were all out enjoying the Spring weather over the weekend. This past Sunday, we celebrated Earth Day! This year’s campaign is to End Plastic Pollution. Each year, 300 million tons of plastic are produced to make bags, bottles, packages, and other items. Unfortunately, only about 10% of these plastic products are properly recycled. The other 90%? It ends up in landfills …
Have you ever met an individual and immediately thought to yourself, “Wow, they really have their shi*t together”? Yeah… me too! As a 20-something, I am still in that stage of life where I find it weird to think of myself as a “grown-up”. It’s a funny stage to be in when half of your friends are out getting married and having babies, while the other half are out partying every night. I often find …
Magdeburg holds a special place in my heart. It was the first city Ryan and I lived in when we moved to Germany, and it was the first place Ryan and I lived together as a couple. Needless to say, we consider Magdeburg to be our home away from home. We spent 1 year there, and although we don’t live there anymore, we try to go back and visit as much as we can. Magdeburg recently …
