On the drive from Prague to Austria, lines from Billy Joel’s “Vienna” kept playing through my head: Slow down, you crazy child You’re so ambitious for a juvenile But then if you’re so smart, then tell me Why are you still so afraid? Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about? You’d better cool it off before you … More Austria
July was pretty epic guys. After my family visited, we all traveled to Prague and Vienna together. So much fun packed into one month, and now I’m going through withdrawals… Andrew and I went to Budapest last year, and ever since we’ve been itching to go to Prague and Vienna. They were important cities in the Habsburg … More Prague
Our cottage was full to the brim in July, and I LOVED it. First my parents and youngest sister stayed with us for a week. We set up air mattresses in the office and in the living room. Every morning and evening we did a furniture shuffle in the living room to change from daytime … More The Fam Comes To England
I’ve become more sentimental since moving abroad. There I said it. Food is one of the many things that triggers nostalgia. The other day I discovered where Sainsbury’s hides Kraft Mac & Cheese (in the sweets aisle, really?!), and I was way more excited than I should have been. Andrew and I then proceeded to eat … More Expat Tales
It’s been 10 months since we moved into our little cottage, so needless to say, this post has been a long time coming. I’ve shared a few rooms individually, but this is my first attempt at a full home tour (as promised to many of you). So don’t be shy, come on in 🙂I’m pretty … More All Moved In – Home Tour
Once a month or so, Andrew and I like to go to London for the day and get lost. We’re only 20-30 minutes away by train, but we’re often so tired by the weekend that we choose to stay home (and save money). I catch up on boring, but necessary, things like laundry -an all day … More A Day In London
Week 1 // Week 2 // Week 3 // Week 4 // Week 5 One Room Challenge reveal time is finally here! Over the past six weeks, I’ve been making some improvements in my master bedroom.

Week 1 // Week 2 // Week 3 // Week 4 Week 5 of the One Room Challenge FLEW by. I definitely didn’t accomplish as much this week as previous weeks.

Week 1 // Week 2 // Week 3 It’s Thursday again, and that means more One Room Challenge! It’s hard to believe this thing is more than halfway over. I have mixed feelings about reaching this point. On the one hand, I’m really excited to have a finished *for now* master bedroom, but on the other, … More Let There Be Light(bulbs) – ORC Week 4
Week 1 // Week 2 Time for more One Room Challenge updates! I don’t know about you, but I really look forward to seeing how all the other participants are doing each week.
