Game Day Mommy-and-Me Denim Jackets

Okay, it’s official…I think this may be one of my favorite DIY projects EVER! I have been wanting a patched denim jacket to wear to Ryan’s games for a few years now, but could never bring myself to spend the money on one. Especially because the price tag on some of these is upwards of a few hundred dollars! So, during the off-season, I decided to gather some supplies and make one myself! And let …

Ryan Malone’s 100th Professional Soccer Game

Last week, we celebrated a very special milestone in Ryan’s soccer career. On Thursday, April 19 ,2019, Ryan played in his 100th professional soccer game here in Germany! It was such a remarkable day for the both of us, and although the game didn’t exactly go as planned, the whole experience was still super special. It will definitely be a day we will never forget! If you know me in real life, you know that …

Our Third Year In Professional Soccer: What Really Went Down

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 …

Our Second Year In Professional Soccer: What Really Went Down

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 …

Our First Year In Professional Soccer: What Really Went Down

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 …

The Truth Behind Our First Three Years In Professional Soccer

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! …

Game Day Essentials

It’s finally Friday which means you all deserve a cocktail (or 2) and some serious R&R! Weekends in Germany are probably my favorite thing, especially when the weather gets warmer. Everyone is outside biking, grilling, having picnics, shopping and just genuinely enjoying time with family and friends. It’s so refreshing to see everyone outside relaxing and having fun. I shouldn’t have to tell you that weekends in Germany are also reserved for football! Match Day …
