It is time! I am turning the blog, and all ten years of journally, into a book! I promise to share the good, the bad and the ugly! Even the silly and stupid things, like the time I accidentally told my friend’s husband I loved him, inplace of telling him I loved his wine. Very…
Ok so we put our house on the market. Now what? I know it seems strange because according to our Hungarian life and Hungarian standards we are doing well. But what is lacking is balance. The equilibrium between work and life is swayed, heavily loaded with too much work which was the exact same reason…
Now that we are selling our home here in Solymar I am reminded of all the reasons why we bought it in the first place. I have serious home love! I first spotted this three story home online when we still lived in France back in 2016. It was listed on multiple real estate sites…
