And guess what folks, if your German is not 100% like mine…FEAR NOT! They have an English option on their website (yay for us!) Click {here} The party was an absolute […] Read more…
I was shocked when my very fashion conscious 7 year old daughter (who loves anything bling & leopard-I believe she got this from growing up in Dubai…or her grandma) declared she wanted to wear her pajamas out for a family outing “because they are soooo soft and cozy”! All I can hope for, is that […] Read more…
I’d like to call myself a ‘Scarlet Fever expert’ now after both my children have had it in the last 3 months! It is becoming a more and more common illness striking Europe (again!) Scarlet fever… yes the same illness which killed so many in the Victorian Era throughout USA and Europe… In worst cases […] Read more…

The last two months have been hectic…trying to plan for my son Nate’s first birthday party, and then his baptism all the way in Austria! On one hand I am glad they are both over, on the other hand…I wish I could relive each occasion once more! It was a beautiful day that we […] Read more…
You scream, I scream, we all scream for TICHY! I have always been a huge fan of ice cream! And I must say Tichy serves up the world’s best ice cream! It is natural, rich, and smooth tasting. This spot at Reumannplatz has been around for MANY years! The interior of the palais area is […] Read more…
One of the most touristic attractions in Vienna! This palace is beyond beautiful! Each time I visit I dream I could go back in time and live as one of the daughter’s from the Habsburg monarch.
