Now that we are back home in Ohio it is bittersweet to look back and reflect on our last days in England. Our month abroad was our best trip yet full of so many memories with our girls and family. Here’s a look at our first three weeks: Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 OurContinue reading “England 2018: Week 4 Review”

England 2018: Week 3 Review
This week in England was a very unique one. We seldom get the opportunity to host friends from back home while in England, but this week our good friend, Tom, came to visit us and see what life is like for the English. It was a busy week as we tried to give Tom plentyContinue reading “England 2018: Week 3 Review”
Thirteen: Five Minute Friday
I’m a little bit late this week with my Five Minute Friday post (I blame it on my all day excursion yesterday involving kayaking and cream teas.) Five Minute Friday is a weekly link-up where a community of bloggers crafts a post based on a common topic. This week the topic is Thirteen. Check outContinue reading “Thirteen: Five Minute Friday”
England 2018: Week 2 Review
My family and I are in the middle of our one month visit to England. My husband is from England and moved to America when he was 18 to play basketball. The rest of his family and his closest friends still live in England so every year we return to visit them. This week weContinue reading “England 2018: Week 2 Review”
England 2018: Week 1 Review
I cannot believe that we’ve been in the sunny UK for one week now. Packing a year worth of visits into one month really makes time fly. Watching the girls connect with their British family and heritage makes all of the hassle of travel worth it. This first week was spent adjusting to the timeContinue reading “England 2018: Week 1 Review”
Flight to the UK
One of the perks of marrying into a British family–annual trips to England. Each summer since 2008 I have made the journey to England to visit with my husband’s family. This year the trip will last an entire month. We have a lot planned and I’m really excited to share with you some of ourContinue reading “Flight to the UK”
Hoola Fit
One of my favorite parts of this summer’s stay in England has been my weekly Hoola Fit class with my Mother-in-Law. She has been taking the class since January so she has been kicking my butt. My first week was a bit rough, but each week I’ve progressed. I was bound and determined after a sixtyContinue reading “Hoola Fit”
Dear Daughter (Part 2)
Dear Daughter, Not many three year olds can say that they’ve enjoyed seeing the world the way that you have. From a young age you’ve been a traveler. Along with Mommy and Daddy you take in the sights and enjoy the scenery with a big, beautiful smile. You understand several cultures, and get that justContinue reading “Dear Daughter (Part 2)”
The Big Issue
While America may be dealing with a few hot debates such as gun control, Trump vs. Hillary, and transgender bathroom selection, over in Britain the big issue is whether the country should REMAIN or LEAVE the European Union. Today is election day. By this time tomorrow a resolve will be reached based on the voters ofContinue reading “The Big Issue”
English Rain Jacket
Inevitably it’s been a cool and rainy stay thus far in England. With only a few downpours we’ve been graced with more of the drizzle type of rain. Not enough to change our plans, but enough to be quite annoying. For a while I’ve been in need of some nice rain gear. I purchased SperryContinue reading “English Rain Jacket”
