…and finding joy everywhere
Now that we’re finally here in person, one of my favorite things to do is explore the different villages in the Stuttgart area. I’ve seen these names on maps for months, but there’s no comparison for being able to actually walk around. And truth be told, we really did arrive at the right time, because […]

After driving into Stuttgart on Saturday to snag a deal on an iron and hair dryers from a departing military family, we were craving time in nature. It was a hot, hot weekend and our hope was that the canopy of the trees in the Black Forest would provide a nice respite from the blazing […]

I don’t know what more to say. We’re a hot mess, y’all. Not a day goes by when we don’t find ourselves in some kind of pickle. But last weekend was pretty spectacular as far as pickles go, and some of these stories are pretty funny, so I figured they were worth sharing. 😉 Mary […]

Well, we’re here! The trip was remarkably smooth, with just a few comical bumps. We stayed up as long as we could yesterday and now we’re only slightly jetlagged after a solid night of sleep. Here are a few of our memorable moments. Enjoy! The “Super Shuttle”… Since Ralph had already dropped off the car […]

You know how they talk about Murphy’s Law, where anything that CAN go wrong WILL go wrong? Last weekend was a bit of a train wreck. Brady rolled his ankle while playing outside with friends for the first time in a year and has been hobbling around ever since. Then, we thought Phoebe ate a […]

Ralph and I both suffer from an affliction called “CRS” – can’t remember stuff. (Yes, it’s contagious and I caught it from him). A few years back, we started using AnyList to keep a shared grocery list for the family. It’s awesome because we all have the app and before shopping trips we each add […]
