I’ve always been a believer of holistic approaches as a first attempt to treating illness and battling disease. It only makes sense that what you put into your body will affect how you feel and how your body functions. Ever since I saw the documentary Food Inc. I have changed the way our family eats. [...]
Budapest is like reading a good book. The buildings, the streets and the monuments each have an epic story waiting to be told to those who visit. Today the city is vibrant and alive with happy energy , but as you walk the streets and learn the history it becomes apparent how different Budapest was [...]
Our trip to Alghero, Italy was incredible. I miss it so much and am already daydreaming about visiting again. What really helped to make it an incredible experience was where we stayed during our visit. Casa Anna is a fully furnished two bedroom apartment in a residential neighborhood of Alghero. The apartment is decorated beautifully [...]
Trier is Germany’s oldest city founded in 16 BC as part of the Holy Roman Empire. As a favored destination of Roman emperors, the city thrived as a center of commerce after the collapse of Rome. Each summer the city pays tribute to it’s rich history by hosting a Roman Festival. What’s makes the event really come alive is [...]
We were rather unpatriotic again this year as we spent the 4th of July in Italy. With Ryanair offering such cheap flights, we couldn’t resist a last minute trip to Sardinia. We flew into Alghero, which is a very charming town on the western coast of the island. For five days we escaped the daily [...]

I have really missed blogging and have been wanting to write about our trip to Croatia for quite a while now. But…. Life happened. A few weeks ago we had a health scare with my little dude that resulted in an ambulance ride to the ER and kept us in the hospital for 3 nights. [...]
My plan was to make a blog post about some yummy oatmeal I made for breakfast today. But while eating I reflected on how good I’ve been feeling lately and one thought led to 500 more thoughts and I wrote up a whole post on what I think the secret to happiness is. This oatmeal [...]
Though we’ve been planning on this move for awhile now, I was sworn to secrecy until everything was official. And as of yesterday everything is now 100% official. We are leaving Heidelberg and heading to the boonies of Germany. Really. Our new house is not even in a city, or a town. We are going [...]
German Christmas Market Magical. Cold. Festive. Charming. Quaint. Beautiful. Warm-cider-wine-that-warms-your-soul. Breathtaking. Memorable. Colorful. Twinkley. Delicious. Surreal. Just a few words to describe Christmas in Europe. I’ve been to 4 different markets this year and each one has gotten better and better. It’s a very different experience to be in Europe for Christmas. It feels more [...]
