About me

I'm Leslie and you've stumbled upon a blog that is all about my life.  My journey to Vienna, Austria started in 2008 when I came to teach at the International Christian School of Vienna (ICSV).  I met my hubby in February.  We became a couple in June, got engaged in December and married the next June!

Now five years down the road from first coming to Austria, I'm married, have a baby girl and we are now planning a house!  Who knew God had all that in store for me when He brought me to ICSV!  His plans are far greater than mine.

So welcome to my blog that talks about life, being a mom and wife, recipes and pictures.  I love my little family!  Cooking, baking and taking pictures are some favorite past times of mine.

I hope you enjoy having a little glimpse into our life!

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't
