.15 years.
About my hair… I don’t usually write a whole blog post on this subject, but since I’m in my blogging era and 15 years seems special (because it ends in a 5), I’ll write about my hair this year. Fifteen years ago, I cut off all my hair. When I was young, my mother would…

Reading The Hunger Games Series + Sunrise on the Reaping and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins Yes, this month I am reading all of the Hunger Games Books. I thought it would take me 2 months, but I’ve been flying through them. I’m looking forward to the Sunrise on the Reaping…

.my Q2 2026 reads.
Just sharing that I managed to hit my 12 book/year goal in May. Ich habe auch jeden Abend ein oder zwei Seiten in einem deutschen Buch gelesen. Das Buch war ein R.L. Stine-Schattenwelt-Buch namens „Die Geisterlehrerin“. Ich bin stolz auf mich. I also read a book in German, only reading a page or two every…

I skipped May. Oh well! Reading Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden A memoir about the abrupt end of a marriage. Honestly, this is a bit horrifying and had me reflecting quite a bit. Everyone in a relationship should look at this. Watching The World Cup Duh! Listening Lykke Li The Afterparty I…

Curtain Up!
My first show in 3 years. Before I haven’t performed in years. When I moved to Philly, I had no idea how to get into the theatre/music scene there, but I was so busy working, honestly, I felt that exercise was the better option anyway, so I’m not upset. I did manage to do one…

.after 6 months, I’ve decided to start running again.
Last September, I ran the Copenhagen half-marathon, and although I enjoyed the route through Copenhagen’s city center, I was absolutely depleted after that race. I wasn’t shooting for a specific time; I just wanted to complete it and feel good. Then I ran the Philly 8k during the Philadelphia Marathon weekend in November. I felt…

Thought: My main picture is funny because it doesn’t have much to do with anything I have listed, and it will continue to be that way I guess. Reading Yesteryear I was not expecting to like this book as much as I did. It’s about a modern-day “tradwife” influencer who wakes up in the 1800s.…

.a day in Landshut.
Here’s something I love about Germany. There’s a castle everywhere. When you drive on the autobahn, there aren’t big billboards and advertisements, but you’ll see castles built long before America was colonized. Burg Trausnitz in Landshut, for example, was founded in 1204 by Duke Ludwig I and served as the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty…

If you couldn’t tell, I enjoy a good book. I love sitting in my corner of the couch, my husband calls “the gemütlich headquarters,” and reading for 30-60 minutes in the morning. I also enjoy discovering new books. Some of my favorite social media posts and reels are book recommendations. I love finding summaries and,…

.my Q1 2026 reads.
I started 2026 pretty strong, already reading 6 books (half of my yearly reading goal). I suspect I’ll be slowing down a bit since I’m working on a few other things for myself. It’s a good thing. I have a lot of hobbies, but here’s what I’ve read in 2026 so far: January The Mystery…
