Last Sunday I went downtown with a good friend, which was the last time for her. We went to the Bean or the Cloud Gate, which is one of the attractions in Chicago. After that,...

On Friday after the Nutella Café, we watched the musical Aladdin. It was one of the best, if not the best musical I have ever seen. The performers were really good and the stage...

Then on the weekend, I went to the world's first Nutella Café with a friend! And in Chicago :D It has been open for about a month now. Before we could go inside, we had to wait...

A few weekends ago, I went to a baseball game with a friend to watch the Chicago Cubs. I'm not really into sports, so the game itself wasn't that interesting to me, but the...

The Niagara Falls were really amazing! Even though I had imagined them differently. I thought they would be much bigger and located in the middle of nowhere, so you would have...

Last weekend, I went to the amusement park Six Flags - Great America with two friends. It's about a half hour drive from us. We had a lot of fun and went on almost every roller...

When I was back in Chicago, I took a boat tour through Chicago with a friend. That was really interesting. We found out, among other things, that Chicago almost had an Eiffel...

On our trip, we saw even more places than I described so far. We stayed in nine hotels in 13 days and it would be a bit much to describe everything individually, so I will...

Las Vegas was a real shock. It was loud, crowded, flashy, and so much. At first, we couldn't process it at all and we were all in a bad mood on the first day because we were...

We saw the Grand Canyon from above and drove into Zion from below. That was a completely new experience. Zion was also gigantic and it was amazing to drive down the serpentine...

The Grand Canyon was kind of a shock. We arrived at the Grand Canyon Village and thought we had to walk quite a distance from there to reach the Grand Canyon. However, that...

Los Angeles is reeeeeeeally big! We spent most of our time driving there, which was also due to the traffic. There are no public transport options there. Everyone drives by car....

San Francisco was totally different than we expected. Everything around the city center was really nice, just like you imagine San Francisco. It was a rollercoaster ride,...

Actually, I had already finished writing the entry last weekend, but I forgot to upload it :D I just extended it for this weekend :D I know it's been a while since I last wrote,...

Christmas Christmas is similar to how it is celebrated in our country, but also very different. On one hand, it is like Christmas back home, where families come together and...

Right now there is a lot going on here, so unfortunately I haven't been able to write anything for a while. So I will now "briefly" summarize what has been happening lately. ...

Not much exciting happened during the week. It was just stressful and tiring as I had to work a lot and the kids were a bit demanding. Actually, I wanted to go to the Six Flags...

Es tut mir leid, dass ich so lange nichts mehr geschrieben habe. Ich wollte nur Bescheid sagen, dass es mir soweit ganz gut geht und es noch etwas dauern kann, bis wieder was...

Driving the oldest to school and then going to the youngest's activities. Then break. Then picking up the oldest and taking care of them while the mother is out. That was more...

Nothing really exciting happened during the week. I had pretty much the same routine every day and the week went by really fast again :D On Friday, I went to the Children Museum...

So, first of all, the obligatory saying again: last week (3.9. - 9.9.) went by really quickly :D Not much exciting happened during the week, it was just a bit frustrating. The...

The last week has once again passed by normally and quite quickly. The only thing at the moment is that I'm still not getting along with the oldest one. He treats me like an...

Although I repeat myself, but the last week has gone by extremely fast again. I have the feeling that there will be no week that drags on for a long time so quickly. During the...

This week has gone by so fast again and now I'm already two months here in America. I can't believe it yet. If one of the former au pairs wanted to tell me that time flies by...

So, I didn't keep my promise again... I should probably say that I am trying to check in every Monday :D Time flies by so quickly. But with five kids in the house, it's never...

Seit drei Wochen bin ich jetzt schon in meiner neuen Familie. Auf der einen Seite kommt es mir so vor, als hätte ich gerade erst die Familie gewechselt, aber auf der anderen...

So, here I am again. It took quite a long time :D I have been in the new family for 1 ½ weeks now and I can already say with 100% certainty that I don't want to have 5 children...

It's time to pack again. When I last did it, I didn't think it would happen so quickly again. But tomorrow I'm moving to the new family :) I'm already so excited and hope it...

I never thought it would happen so quickly or at all, but I have a new family 🙈 Just a few hours into my rematch, two families reached out on Monday. One from Virginia near...

It would have been nice if something had worked right away... but for me, it's normal that it only works on the second try... I've been with the family for a little over a week...
