ES IST FERTIG ! Grow to Gather’s German Sister :) Grow to Gather, my seasonal cookbook, has officially been translated from, English to German, für alle meine Deutsche Freunde! The German title is Gemeinsam Geniessen ( rough translation: enjoying together ) I have been working alongside my friends and colleagues over the past 8 months to […]
This Winter, I knew I needed to go to the snow. I feel it calling me, because in the city that I live in, it just doesn’t stay on the ground for more than a few hours at a time. And this blue and white sparkling wonderland brings me such a sense of calm, peace, […]
About two years ago, I started working part-time on the floor of Patagonia Europe’s Munich Retail Store selling clothes and other outdoor items as a sales associate. At the time I took the job because I needed something to get me out of the house and away from digital screens. I figured it would be […]
Hello Dear Readers, Welcome to 2021 ! I wanted to write a nice inspirational quote about the New year here. But nothing is coming to me, so I suggest you listen to this great song by the White Buffalo instead ( the song starts around 6 min ) A few times over the last few […]

I was not sure exactly why, but I knew this Winter I needed to make a visit home. I missed the deep Canadian cold I grew up hating, the meters of snow and of course my family and friends. And I am so happy that I booked that flight. It happened to be at the […]
I have been waiting patiently… Last year we had two small scuffs of snow in Munich, and the year before that was the same. But this year, January brought snow, and lots of it, and I am so very happy. Being Canadian, a cold Winter with snow so is natural to me. I remember mornings […]
