You are the BEST for catching that! When I wrote the article, the castle suggested to me was Augustusburg in Brühl. Looks like I need to update the blurb and not the photo. I had to go back through all the comments my friends sent, and that mix-up slipped through. Thank you for the heads-up!

I literally almost commented that I forgot Nürnberg. I’m going to go back and add it to my further suggested castles!

Thank you for the kind words, my friends. 💕

Ohhh! It’s not too late to edit this and add it to my “Reader’s Suggestion” section. Thank you, Florian! I’ll check it out. ☺️

Thank you!!

We had all four kids out last week. It was rough with all of their tests and picture day. 🥹

10 bags sounds like the perfect number of bags to get. 😆

My mom got these for us and made sure my husband and I had a larger bag and got 4 smaller bags for the kids. 🤣

I should maybe rephrase that to say negative sentiments and religious zealousness like this are not something I have personally encountered in this part of Germany. People find out I’m a Christian when I mention I have a church activity to attend, and it’s never a big deal.

I will Venmo you (or PayPal you since this is Germany) to not use a knife and open that bottle. My husband is still recovering from his butter knife injury to the hand during our move. I think you let the bottle win this round and go buy a new one!

So I guess I’m oversharing because I’m legitimately worried about this “new normal.” My stent was placed a year ago, and I had relief for about 4 months before the symptoms started again. But the persistent bruising is what really concerns me.

The stent is working. A doctor who did the ultrasound to check it told me I should see a therapist instead of the radiologist because I’m crazy. I’m on no blood thinners because of my bleeding disorder, & it took so much courage to go back after my initial complaint. So I guess I just accept it?

One of my favorite movies. I wish they had kept the working title of Live Die Repeat (although it’s sometimes listed as a subtitle.)

That was my daughter’s favorite part about going to Amsterdam to see the tulips. 🤣

Yes! That’s the plan!
