My goals:

- complete the 30x30 challenges:
30x30 Remix Challenge.
30x30 No more CHAOS.
30x30 for a healthy body.
30x30 a better relationship.

Trendy Tuesday, It is finally starting to get warm here in Hamburg!  I will be celebrating this by starting a 30x30 Remix Challenge, and uploading the results on the blog every Tuesday for the prev wee. I saw this on Lauren's blog, Simply Free. Had you heard of this challenge before? The original idea came from Kendi Everyday.  These are the rules:
1. Pick 30 items or less from your closet.
2. Remix the 30 items into 30 different outfits. It might take 30 days or a bit longer. It doesn't matter. Just do it.3. Don't shop for 30 days.


No more CHAOS! I was going through the internet and came across FLYLady.net, and she has a nice method for cleaning/maintaining the house.  I am currently living in CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome) and I know this is not setting a good example for Avi.   I am starting with hope and faith, I will follow this lady's advice, and starting the 31 (I'm doing it in 30) Beginner Baby Steps.
Fitness Friday, I don't know if you've heard of Cassey at Blogilates, but I've been following her blog/youtube/facebook for 8 months now and I really liked her AprilAbs calendar so I will be doing it in May, with healthy eating and working out daily I aim to get fit! Here are the rules:
1. Follow the workout calendar, but modify it to exercise only 5 days a week.
2. Follow her Healthy Eating tips.
3. Spend 30 minutes a day outside. (whether it be going for a run/jog/walk, or playing outside with Avi)
If I have time, I will post a review on Fridays about my week.
Last, is the 30 days, 30 ways to improve (y)our relationship, while on stumbleupon I came across this page and figured why not, let's add it to the list of challenges.  Go us!
As I read what I wrote I noticed something.. and well I will be updating y'all either monday or friday. over the course of this weekend I will upload the pic of the 30 items I have chosen for the challenge. oh and today might be barely wed.. but it feels like friday because we have a four day weekend!! yay :)
Wish me luck,

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading? I just finished reading Accidental Tourist and am currently reading The Girl on the Train. What is your favorite food to cook? My all time favorite recipe is Enchiladas Suizas , but sometimes I settle for Chilaquiles (as tortillas de Maíz/corn tortillas) aren't found...

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

Life happened.

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
