Top 3 Things To Do In Garmisch, Germany

I've lived in Garmisch, Germany for a little over a year. Today I'm sharing with you my top 3 things to do in Garmisch, Germany!  Walk Around Eibsee A crystal clear lake located at the bottom of the Zugspitze. Lays one of the prettiest lakes in Bavaria. The water is teal in the summer and normally frozen over with a layer of snow in the winter.  The lake is surrounded by a walking trail of gravel. This walk is about 4 miles long and is good for both children and elders. During the summer you'll s[...]

Sirmione, Italy

We just returned from our 5-day road trip across Italy. We planned every day less than 24 hours in advance. It was the most fun, unstressful vacation we have ever taken. I first learned about Sirmione, Italy, on Pinterest; I kept seeing the Scaligero Castle all over social media and quickly realized it is one of the most visited castles in Italy. Sirmione is a unique and an unforgettable vacation spot you can share with your kids; Sirmione, Italy, should be at the top of your list. Nestled on Lake Garda at th[...]

How To Dress Your Children For Snow!

I grew up in the south, right outside Nashville, Tennessee, in Gallatin. I remember we would get one to two good snows a year. I say that lightly because heavy snow in Gallatin (2 inches) would be considered a dusting in most towns where it snows a lot. It wasn't until we moved to Slovenia (In the Julian Alps) that we started to realize that we were dressing our children all wrong. We would walk around downtown Ljubljana, and all the children would be so happy, running around smiling, having the times of the[...]

Zurich, Switzerland Christmas Markets

Let me say that Zurich, Switzerland, Christmas Markets are like stepping into a scene from a Lifetime movie! For the first time in my traveling experiences, I felt like I was in a movie. The lights were hung just perfectly above the entire Christmas market. The Christmas music was playing, heaters and fire pits, and the mood were just right. Everyone was smiling and in great spirits; I heard so much English and met a few Americans! Now for all the details on our 24 hours in Zurich! If I'm being honest, we on[...]

Most Common Questions, I Get Asked About Living In Lithuania

When we moved overseas the first time in 2017 I had never left the United States… I didn’t even have a passport. I honestly had no idea what to expect and a lot of the things that I thought were going to be an issue weren’t an issue at all! Now that we live in Lithuania I have found our family and friends asking us the same questions over and over. So I thought why not make a blog post and answer all the questions we have been getting daily about living in Lithuania. What side of the r[...]

Nashville, Tennessee

Below you'll find all the things I enjoy doing when I'm home visiting family. Although I haven't lived in Nashville in over 13 years I still call Nashville home.

Nashville will forever be my hometown tho.  Opryland Hotel We love staying at the Opryland when we visit Nashville.

Parenting in Lithuania

When we lived in Slovenia, I wrote a blog post about parenting in Slovenia. Now that we live in Lithuania, I thought it would be fun to write about my experiences in Lithuania.Much like Slovenia, it's not uncommon to see children Nolan's age 9 walking to school by themselves or taking the bus alone. Kids have more freedom in Lithuania than they do in the United States. Children in Lithuania also don't start grade school until they are age seven which is much different than the US at age 5.Th[...]
