All Things Motherhood
We do a fair bit of travelling as a family. However, if you count in the amount of travelling that hubs has done back and forth between the UK and Germany because of work, he’s done almost 5000 miles of flying in about a year. Not a big deal to most people I’m sure but …
I know. I know. Not even halfway through the month and I’ve already started to skip alternate days. Well it’s just one day so far and yesterday was blah so…yeah. Today though, I met up with the fellow expat here who’s the wife of hub’s colleague. Her baby is lovely and slept right through the …
We’re snorers. My husband and I. He never used to be. He used to have the gentlest once-in-a-blue-moon snore. I wouldn’t even call it a snore really. Shortly after Baby E was born and he was doing bi-weekly weekend trips home from Germany, he started to snore. Now these are proper snores. Real, guttural, hopelessly …
How true is it that divorce rates worldwide really are rising? I don’t know but studies show it to be true. Research has found that the more highly educated a woman is, the less likely she is to end up divorced. I wouldn’t have guessed that. I would have thought it would be the reverse. …

It’s been six months since we were last here in Germany and just over two weeks since we came back to Germany. In the time since we’ve been back, the cultural differences between England vs Germany have hit me all over again! Before I go on, I must preface this by saying that we (as …
It’s been a busy couple of weeks for us. A busy three months really but the last couple of weeks had us exhausted. That’s the way of change, I suppose. Especially the kind of change that involves moving house from one country to another. My family has moved to Germany from the UK. CLICK HERE …
I tend to overthink things in an effort to make sure I’m getting something that the person definitely needs or will absolutely appreciate. While these are the right aims, sometimes letting go and hoping they know it’s the thought that counts is what really matters. Christmas is the time of year that I need to remind myself of that the most.
Heard the saying “experience is the best teacher“? It was never truer for me than when I had my baby. From the very first day she was born, a ton of things I’d like to have known and/or believed before I’d given birth. A ton. Number 3 will explain why there aren’t more points in …
