In my last video, I took you along for an evening In my last video, I took you along for an evening in our life here in Germany, and you might’ve caught a glimpse of me making a comforting pot of soup. And today, we’re making it together!⁠ ⁠ This lasagna soup has quickly become a family favorite, especially during these chilly, cozy days. My trick? I add extra chicken broth to keep it soupy and make it stretch for a couple of days—perfect for busy weeks!⁠ ⁠ I’m so glad the guys love it as much as I do. It’s warm, hearty, and feels like a hug in a bowl. ❤️⁠ ⁠ Have you tried lasagna soup before? Let me know your favorite cozy-season dishes in the comments!⁠ ⁠ #LasagnaSoup #CozyMeals #FamilyFavorites #WinterCooking #SoupSeason #ComfortFood
Spend the evening with us in Germany!⁠ ⁠ Our d Spend the evening with us in Germany!⁠ ⁠ Our day was a mix of cooking, a mini reset, and a fun little outing—just the right blend to keep things interesting. ✨⁠ ⁠ Over the past few weeks, I’ve shared a variety of content, and I’d love to hear from you: What have you enjoyed most? What would you like to see more of as I plan for upcoming posts?⁠ ⁠ Your feedback means so much and helps me create content you love. 💛⁠ ⁠ Take care, and thank you for being here!⁠ ⁠ #EveningInGermany #LifeAbroad #ExpatFamily #CozyMoments #DailyAdventures #ContentPlanning #FamilyLife #IntentionalLiving
Driving in Germany is a different experience from Driving in Germany is a different experience from driving in the U.S. Let me share the biggest differences I’ve noticed:⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣ Speed Limits: While the U.S. has speed limits everywhere, sections of Germany’s Autobahn have no limit!⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Right-of-Way Rules: Germany’s “priority to the right” rule takes some getting used to, whereas the U.S. relies heavily on stop signs.⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Parking: German parking spaces are compact with strict regulations, contrasting with the U.S.’s spacious parking lots.⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ Road Etiquette: German drivers follow the rules and only use the fast lane for passing. U.S. drivers tend to be more relaxed about these conventions.⁠ ⁠ It’s amazing how driving cultures can be so different across countries.⁠ ⁠ Which driving style would you prefer? ⁠ ⁠ #DrivingInGermany #USvsGermany #RoadCulture #LifeAbroad #AutobahnExperience #TravelTips #ExpatLife #DrivingTips #LifeInEurope
After over two years of Ecuador’s eternal spring After over two years of Ecuador’s eternal spring, we’re embracing the chilly German winter! ❄️ ⁠ ⁠ While the cold has been an adjustment, we’ve missed snowy days and are enjoying the change.⁠ ⁠ Learning how to layer has been key, and finding little pockets of routine has made this season feel extra special. ❤️ ⁠ ⁠ From cozy cooking sessions (recipes coming soon!) to bundling up for outdoor adventures, we’re making the most of this time together.⁠ ⁠ Do you have any tips or must-dos for winter in Germany? Drop your recommendations below—I’d love to hear them!⁠ ⁠ #LifeInGermany #WinterVibes #CozySeason #SnowDays #ExpatLife #FamilyAdventures #TravelGermany #LifeAbroad
This year was one of slowing down, leaning in, and This year was one of slowing down, leaning in, and savoring every little moment. I prioritized local and familiar experiences over constant travel. I leaned into motherhood, cherishing the time it takes to nurture my little one’s growth. I worked on balancing my time as a mom and a wife. I found joy in the smallest moments and celebrated every victory, no matter how small. I expressed endless gratitude for this life God has gifted me. I went on so many mommy-and-son adventures. I spent meaningful time with family. I worked hard, trusted God, and embraced new opportunities. And we moved abroad…again! 2024 was a beautiful chapter, and I’m so thankful for it. Here’s to whatever 2025 has in store. #2024Wrapped #YearInReview #GratefulHeart #IntentionalLiving #MomLife #LifeAbroad #FamilyAdventures #2024Highlights #ReflectAndGrow
Spend Christmas morning with us in Germany! 🎄✨ This year, Gozie and I decided to skip gifts for each other and focus on what matters most—time together as a family. But little Gideon? He was spoiled, thanks to what we got for him and our wonderful family and friends who made his day so special. ❤️ As tired parents, we still haven’t set up his big gift, but I promise to share it with you once it’s ready! Wishing you all a cozy and joy-filled day, whether you’re celebrating or simply enjoying the season. ✨ #ChristmasMorning #FamilyChristmas #LifeInGermany #ExpatChristmas #HolidayTraditions #IntentionalLiving #MomLife #ChristmasJoy #GratefulHeart
Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ This year looks a little Merry Christmas! 🎄✨ This year looks a little different for us—new country, new traditions, same love. Sending warmth and joy from our little corner of Germany to wherever you are in the world. ❤️ #MerryChristmas #ChristmasAbroad #HolidayTraditions #FamilyChristmas #ExpatLife #LifeInGermany #Christmas2024 #HolidayMagic #IntentionalLiving #GratefulHeart
I was baking Christmas cookies with my little one I was baking Christmas cookies with my little one in the kitchen when one of my favorite holiday songs started playing. It’s a song my mom and I would listen to on repeat while making treats together—prepping for family and friends to fill our home with laughter and love. At that moment, the weight of this season hit me. I miss those traditions, my mom, and being home for the holidays. This year, we chose to stay in Germany. Between the stress of traveling with a toddler, the cost, and the need to settle into our new life, staying put made the most sense. But choosing to stay doesn’t mean it’s easy. It doesn’t mean I’m not sad. So, while we’re embracing new traditions here, my heart is also back home—wrapped in warm memories and the sounds of familiar songs. ❤️🎄 To anyone navigating similar feelings this season, you’re not alone. #ExpatLife #HolidaysAbroad #MomLife #ChristmasTraditions #LifeAbroad #FamilyMemories
We’ve been curling up this Christmas season with We’ve been curling up this Christmas season with the most beautifully illustrated book, Sounding Joy. ✨🎄⁠ ⁠ It’s become a cherished part of our holiday routine—a little moment of calm, reflection, and connection during these busy days. The vibrant illustrations celebrate diversity, something so important in our home, and the story shares the true meaning of Christmas from a faith-filled perspective.⁠ ⁠ We’ve read it almost every day this month, and honestly, I don’t think we’ll stop anytime soon. It’s one of those timeless books I know we’ll reach for year after year.⁠ ⁠ If you’re looking for a heartfelt Christmas story to share with your little ones—this is it. ❤️⁠ ⁠ Do you have any favorite holiday books or traditions in your family? I’d love to hear them!⁠ ⁠ #FaithFilledChristmas #ChristmasTraditions #HolidayReads #ToddlerMomLife #IntentionalParenting #CozyChristmas #FamilyMoments
