- An International School perkon Mar 4, 2016 in UncategorizedThis week the parents of AIS hosted a Teacher and Staff Appreciation lunch. As you can imagine, I’ve helped out at several of these events over the years of raising 5 boys. They’ve all been very nice, but this one had a little extra s...
- Now this is a park…on Feb 29, 2016 in UncategorizedWe miss our yard. Living in an apartment has its benefits, but the boys and I really miss being able to pop outside at any time and just “play”. Lucky for us, Vienna has so much to do besides visit museums and palaces. Last w...

While Vienna has some great stores, I miss being able to go into one store and take care of 10 items on a list rather than having to go to 10 stores.
