Thank you all for reading and sharing Sarah's expat interview! It always means the world to me (and to my interview partners!) if you like or share the post on Facebook or – even better – if you leave a comment here on the blog. No matter if it is in German or...
Here is a new list of links from around the web for your weekend reading pleasure. Have a good one! 1 - I've been dreaming about having a vacation home and get-togethers with friends and family for a really long time. After reading this I want (and need) it even...
Today, The Weekend Files are going to be completely different! They are in German AND they were put together by my dear blogger friend and shop owner Sylke who takes us on a tour around her hometown Hamburg in northern Germany! Have fun! And thank you, Sylke, for...
A family trip to a nearby state park, a movie in the park, BBQ with friends, fireworks, a visit to the Chattanooga market and lots of fun in the rain sun! That's how our long 4th of July Weekend is going to look like. What are your plans for the weekend? Hope you are...
Heute brauche ich Deine Unterstützung! Ich möchte meinen Blog gerne thematisch erweitern, bin mir aber nicht sicher, in welche Richtung es gehen soll. Täglich, stündlich, ach was, minütlich lasse ich mich im WWW, auf Social Media, in Zeitschriften, Büchern und...
I've been making ice cream: blackberry-mascarpone, vanilla-peach with a hint of sour creme, next in line is this strawberry ricotta recipe. So delicious and the best way to end a hot and humid day! What about you: Are you indulging in home-made ice cream? What's your...
It's Friday. Once again! Time is flying by quickly these days. We had a lot going on last week including a girls' trip to Atlanta (so much fun that I had to send my credit card on a loooong vacation), a Chattanooga Lookouts baseball game (including popcorn and...
Summer has definitely arrived in Chattanooga. We basically live on our back porch and spend a lot of time at the pool. The kids love it! And the hydrangea in our garden is in full bloom. So pretty! But still: something went wrong along the way... (see photo below)...
Have you been waiting for your reading material for the weekend? I should warn you: today's links are – well – moody. Sad. Dark. Thought-provoking. I really hope you will enjoy them nevertheless. I surely did! Next week will be lighter, I promise. Enjoy your weekend!...
Time is money. Not really. But the weekend is almost here and I still have 1.000 things on my desk. So I'll make it quick today. Have fun with The Weekend Files and enjoy this addition to Busch-Bilingualistics (more on this here) in the picture below. Have a great...
Today you'll get an extra long edition of The Weekend Files. Why? Because last Friday my friend Sarah was really disappointed that she didn't get her link fix for the weekend. So today I want to surprise Sarah (and everybody else of course) with more than the usual....
Do you remember that I talked about the flowers and trees in our garden a couple of weeks ago? Well, I guess I have to admit that I was WRONG! Which means: my husband was right... See for yourself, enjoy The Weekend Files and have a relaxing weekend! 1 - Parents,...
On Fridays I usually do not only post a new edition of The Weekend Files, but I also participate in the #wfmsayitselfie challenge on Instagram (organized by Claudi of wasfuermich.de). Three questions, three selfies, three answers. It's a lot of fun! Now that I'm...
What a week! So much rain! So many interesting collaborations, jobs, and opportunities coming up! And so many ants. I wish they would move someplace else... Anyway. I'm ready for the weekend and for a new edition of The Weekend Files. Enjoy! 1 - A blog post on...
There were no The Weekend Files last week. Sorry about that! It was life that got in the way. Still I felt as if I missed an important appointment... I'll try and make it up for you today. OK? See the photo above? In the fall, my husband and I had a huge argument...
Happy Easter, everybody! Our weekend will be filled with egg dying and decorating, two Easter egg hunts, and the smell of a freshly baked Hefezopf. My Grandma back in Germany makes the best one, but I'm confident that this recipe won't disappoint me. What are your...
We picked our own strawberries last week and they were delicious! Now I can't wait for berry season to start in Chattanooga. I'm already dreaming of smoothies and cakes, trifles and shakes. And if you have been looking for the world's best milkshake, look no further....
