Living in Germany has helped us to get outside and get a lot more physically active, compared to when we lived in the USA. We LOVE the walkable cities, towns and even villages here and how exercise can easily be apart of our daily lives, without having to schedule in time in a gym. All of us have gotten physically stronger and more fit and we can see how this lifestyle will help us to live longer and be healthier.

In this video, we also show one of our recent hikes to the Langerbauer Alm outside of Ruhpolding, all in the Bavarian Alps. It was gorgeous! We've done many hikes with our four kids and we share how the hiking trails are much different here than in the USA. Hope you enjoy!

Our very first summer as an American family in Germany has been a success! We've done so many fun things and have found that attractions for families and children are widely available AND affordable! We wanted to share with you what we've been doing this summer with our children. If you're wanting to move to Germany and have children, we hope this will be a helpful video. From Freizeitparks, to Kletterwalds, to Schwimmbads, to castles, and Kinder museums, Germany offers a lot of fun for children.

Follow along on our summer trip to the Moselle River to see more of Germany and learn about it's rich history! After visiting Burg Eltz, we spent the next day in Cochem to see Reichsburg Cochem Castle, and then took the train from Moselkern to Trier. All of this was with our four kids! They were tired but they did enjoy seeing the beautiful Cochem Castle and seeing the ancient Roman ruins in Trier. We were able to see Porta Nigra as well!

You'll also get to see the garden of our cute air BnB in Moselkern that we stayed in along the Moselle River - Moselgruss. We can recommend their place if you want to stay there!

Come along with us as we take our kids to Burg Eltz for the first time! Kevin and I have both seen the castle, but we were happy for our kids to see the inside of a well-maintained and beautiful castle. Burg Eltz has been around for more than 850 years and has only had one armed conflict in that entire time! A very rare occurrence for a castle. It is still owned by the original family that built it - the Eltz family. In fact, they live on the top floors!

Our kids really enjoyed it, despite being tired from our vacation in Galtür, Austria the week before. Their favorite part was picking out a souvenir from the gift shop! LOL

We had an amazing vacation at a Kinderhotel in Galtür, Austria! We felt like we got a vacation, too. Kinderhotels serve three meals a day, PLUS Kaffee und Kuchen! So we didn't have to shop for food, cook or clean for a whoel week! Yahooo! They also have childcare for up to age 10, so Kevin and I were able to get away and go on several hikes, walks and explore the area. We took the kids Bouldering for the first time at the top of Ballunspitze, which is right in Galtür. If you have kids, Kinderhotels are amazing and have many locations in Europe - Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Croatia and more!

//Unser Familien Urlaub in Galtür, Österreich//
Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in einem Kinderhotel in Galtür, Österreich! Wir haben uns gefühlt, als ob wir auch Urlaub hätten. In Kinderhotels gibt es drei Mahlzeiten am Tag, PLUS Kaffee und Kuchen! Wir mussten also eine ganze Woche lang nicht einkaufen, kochen oder putzen! Juhuu! Es gibt auch eine Kinderbetreuung für Kinder bis zu 10 Jahren, so dass Kevin und ich die Möglichkeit hatten, mehrere Wanderungen und Spaziergänge zu unternehmen und die Gegend zu erkunden. Wir haben die Kinder zum ersten Mal zum Bouldern auf die Ballunspitze mitgenommen, die sich direkt in Galtür befindet. Wenn Sie Kinder haben, sind Kinderhotels fantastisch und haben viele Standorte in Europa - Österreich, Deutschland, Italien, Portugal, Kroatien und mehr!


We can highly recommend Alpenresidenz Ballunspitze. The staff were all so warm and friendly and took amazing care of us. Service during the meals is top notch and the staff in Bärenland were amazing with the kids!

We've been missing our friends and family since we moved to Germany - that's one of the hard parts about moving abroad. So Ella and I decided to go shopping at Edeka, Penny and DM to get our favorite products for my sister and her family to mail to them. Ella had so much fun picking out gifts for her cousins! We packaged them all up to ship to the USA and they LOVED opening their giant care package! See what some of our favorite snacks, toys, and beauty products are here in Germany as Americans. And in this video, you'll see Ella be QUITE silly!

Before we moved to Germany from the USA, we thought we had pretty athletic, active kids. But compared to German kids, we have found we've got a lot of catching up to do! In general, German kids are super outdoorsy, active, and athletic. They also experience a lot more independence (kindliche Selbständigkeit) than our kids did in the USA with being able to ride bicycles and walk all over town and take public transportation. We have definitely found that parenting in Germany is different than in the USA. In this week's video, you'll see how our American kids have become stronger, more self-reliant, and independent since moving to Germany!

Our family of six loves German playgrounds (Deutsche Spielplätze)! They were one of the first things we went to when we moved to Germany from America. In this video, we share with you how they're different from playgrounds in the USA and why we love them! There's even a lot of research that's been done on German playgrounds and countries all over the world have been inspired by them. We also discuss the culture of German self-reliance and how children are raised to be much more independent at a younger age here than in the USA.

Before we moved to Germany, we knew that recycling was important, but we were not prepared for just how much we had to learn once we arrived! It feels like we had to take a college course to learn how to do it properly! In this video, you'll see how Kevin has to separate our trash in 20 different categories each time he goes to the Wertstoffhof (recycling center and dump), which is about every two to three weeks. It must also be noted that we are more than happy to recycle well and reduce our waste in general, as being environmentally friendly is also important to us. So, bring it on, Germany!

When we arrived in Germany in February of 2021, we furnished our house mostly from IKEA, so we had cardboard coming out of our ears! You'll see footage of just how crazy it got and how we eventually (two months later, once we got a car) were able to take care of it.

One thing we'd like to emphasize is the process of recycling is not the same all over the country. We are only sharing our own personal experience. Please share your experience in the comments below!

Come celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary with us, complete with a champagne toast! We got a babysitter (for the first time in Germany) and stole off by ourselves to Reit im Winkle, a village just 40 minutes from our home in the Chiemau Alps. It's a popular ski town in the winter, and hiking town in the summer. Two German Olympic champions have come from Reit im Winkl! We toured the town, then drove to the Winklemoos Sonnenalm to eat a delicious German lunch. You'll hear the sounds of the Alpine cow bells as we eat and enjoy our Dunkel biers!

Then we hike to Muckklause - a gorge just across the Austrian border. Yes, we walked right across the border!

Make sure to watch till the end when do our champagne toast and show you that our very first wedding anniversary was spent in Germany! Yes! Isn't that cool? We stayed in Treis-Karden and saw Cochem castle and Burg Eltz! We show you some pictures from that trip and drink too much champagne and start acting like...well, you'll see!

If you're looking for a fun and cozy spot for a vacation anytime of the year, we can highly recommend this village!
