Wir sind uns ganz sicher, dass euch das Wasser im Mund zusammen läuft, wenn ihr diesen Artikel lest. Es geht um etwas ganz besonderes – frisches Brot.
Es ist das Lebensmittel, das der Deutsche im Ausland am meisten vermisst. Natürlich kann man in jedem Supermarkt Brot kaufen, aber wir suchen ja DAS Brot. Frisches Brot mit einer richtigen Kruste. Ein Brot, das nicht komplett weiss ist und vielleicht sogar noch ein paar Körner hat….
Wir haben uns ganz uneigennützig und nur für euch (Ehrenwort!) durch die Bäckereien von New York und Umgebung gefuttert und die besten Bäckereien entdeckt. Danke auch, für die vielen Tipps von unserer Facebook Community.

DAS Haus ist das Museum. Für eine Weile fühlt man sich der damaligen Zeit und der Jazzmusik ganz nah. Faszinierend, die Geschichten um seinen Hauskauf und sein Leben in Corona, Queens. Wenn “Satchmo” nach einem Konzert nach Hause kam, hat er es oft nicht in sein Haus geschafft. Er setzte sich einfach zu den Nachbarskindern auf die Stufen seines Hauses, redete und spielte Trompete.

One of the biggest challenges for expat families living abroad is for sure the fact that friends and family are not living close by anymore – Skype or Facetime sessions have become integral parts of the weekly schedule. But when it comes to finding a babysitter, grandma and grandpa are sorely missed. Especially when both parents are working, and you need regular care.
With 12+ weeks of summer break, several snow days during wintertime, holidays and children getting sick every now and then, it appears even more impossible to follow a regular schedule for working mom and dads.

Raising our children abroad is a beautiful thing, they are exposed to two languages. Growing up with this early exposure gives them a rare advantage to speak with proficiency as a native.
As parents, we talk, sing, read in our native language as much as possible to our children. They are growing up so fast, and we all experience the same challenges:
