Guten Tag, y’all! You guys know how I much I value people sharing their individual stories, and for obvious reasons, I’m especially interested in hearing about the lives of other expats.

One of the things Babycakes loves most about our playground is the water pump. It was turned off when we moved here (because it was so chilly), but now that things have warmed up, it’s on and popping…or rather, on and flowing. more

Guten Tag, y’all! I have a confession: before I had the Babycakes, I used to look askance at toddlers–purveyors of germs, screamers on planes, bite-sized, tantrum throwing ingrates. I gave their parents the side-eye too. “Ha!’ I would scoff to myself. “Give me one week with your kids and I’ll Supernanny those jokers into submission.… more
