We are back from the beach and I just wanted to share some of our highlights and some inspiration with you. You are most likely wondering what the title is about, aren't you? Since we don't vacation at a tropical beach, I didn't know that Bahama shutters existed. I started noticing them on a lot of new homes in the past two years during our 7 mile island vacations though and just had to share this ...
Beautiful Bald Head Island in North Carolina
Last week I had the pleasure of traveling to the coast of North Carolina for the first time. I can tell you that this German girl here loved it. I was beyond surprised about the beauty of it all. I flew to Wilmington, North Carolina and then took a ferry to Bald Head Island which is located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River. Bald Head Island ends where the treacherous sand bars known as ...
Luxembourg City and Trier (written by my son)
A big hello to my mom's blog friends, I'm late with my post this year. Summer passed too fast and starting high school has been a big change for me. There is so much homework and late night sports and practice. I hope you guys are still interested in my travel posts after every summer. Or you might be new to my mom's blog and not know that I go on a short guy's trip every year with my dad while we ...
Burg Eltz (Eltz Castle)
I'm slowly going to trickle in our travel posts here and there since I didn't post while we were gone. Click HERE for my last one to the Cochem Reichsburg if you missed it. We also made it to Burg Eltz (Eltz Castle) and let me tell you, if you ever plan on going to Germany to see castles, this one should be top ranked on your list. I grew up in Germany and have seen them my entire life and this ...
Cochem and Reichsburg Cochem
I'm not even sure how to start this blog post after being silent for so long. I decided to do things differently this year. It was somewhat forced because my parents' wifi was so bad but I don't regret it. I didn't have to spend hours on the computer. I will just weave in some of our trips now that I'm back. Maybe one today and Friday and a decorating post on Monday again followed by another trip. ...

What I’ve been up to lately
If you saw Friday's post (click HERE) then you know that I've been doing some clothing shopping with my sister-in-law lately but that wasn't the only way we spent the majority of our time together. We spent two weeks in Avalon during which I honestly couldn't find the time to blog. I also didn't have much to blog about which is ok too. In the previous years, I drove around in the mornings to ...

My son has the second post to his trip yet for you guys. And if this isn't your type of thing then pretty please hang in there for when I get back to more DIY and interior blogging at the end of the month. Don't leave me yet, I promise I'll be back to my old self soon. Here he goes. I'm back with another post! It's the follow up/second post of my Hamburg trip (click HERE if you missed it). ...
