School List

Things at school are a bit crazy, overwhelming, and incredibly stressful. We have had a three day weekend and it was very much needed by all. I can’t and won’t get into details because none of it will make sense just know that it’s not just me being overwhelmed-it’s all of us. A new school brings lots of challenges.

But my kids, are wonderfully and they take care of me in so many ways!

From a student - just because.

Shopping List

Last Saturday, Natalie and I went shopping at Rathuas Steglitz. This part of town has numerous shopping centers including three malls along this strip of street. I ended up buying cleaning supplies, a new scarf, and a shirt. Also, I purchased a new bag. To say I'm in love with it would be an understatement. I am not someone who spends a lot of material goods of one thing… I may spend a lot on many material goods. Anyway, my point is I am not a name brand caring kind of girl. I just couldn’t resist buying this beauty of a bag. Plus, it was certainly time to invest because my old bag was falling apart at the seams! Literally!

My other purchase that I think you will be happy to read about is a new bike! Yes, that’s right I have found love again! One of my parents found it for me and honestly, I couldn’t have found a better bike myself. Yesterday, I traveled an hour and half to north Berlin to pick it up. I thought I knew my way back to the station, well after touring Wittenau and biking over 3 miles, I finally found my way back to the U-bahn to get home. Yesterday alone I biked close to 10 miles. I’m so in love with it! Plus, Natalies lives 2.5 miles away- it’s the perfect bike ride to her house.

Travel List

In two weeks, I will be on my way to new cultures I’ve never experienced before. And tomorrow I buy my ticket to The National Ballet in Prague. Oh, I’m so thrilled to see The Nutcracker at Christmas.

Other List

Other news… this week I’m making rolled up French Toast stuffed with Nutella. I’m dying to try this. They look like this… (Pinterest)

Monday I have my first physical therapy appointment for my back. I can’t wait to go and hopefully, things  will feel better soon!

Also, I have done some eating. There was a street food fair. I had a delious pork sandwich and the best ice cream I’ve tasted in Berlin. The one flavor was lemon with blueberry!  Plus yesterday was the Unification of Germany so there was another little fair with food, drinks, and rides. We walked around but ended up eating at The Bird!

For now, xoxo
