Happy New Year

-
I'm back! It's only fair that the first post of the year (even if thirteen days after the first) wishes you a happy new year. We got back a week ago but it took me this long to get adjusted.

Here are a few tidbits from my life during the past month that i've been "away:"

Blog of the Month

While I was away I got chosen for blog of the month at expat.com, click the image to read the interview.

My Daughter

I was finally able to register Avi for the upcoming school year, but she is not enrolled just yet, they have to check all the students then select a few and the rest get sent to the next school. I really don't know how it works, but I'm hoping she gets accepted to our first choice.

The Blog

I have an upcoming review for a new (to me) subscription box, check back Saturday to see what it entails.. Also, I'll be catching up with comments/commenting by the end of the week. 

I'm thankful for all the lovely guest posts I had while I was away on vacation. I hope you enjoyed reading about different Christmas traditions around the globe.

The Recent Trip

I leave you this recap video that google did of our recent trip to Charlotte and Orlando. I wasn't planning on blogging about it, but I might end up doing it, depends on you...


Would you like to hear more about it?

     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...

From Cologne to Boston

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...
