Newsletter Grannies - Do you have the „Wanderlust“-gene?

Dear Ladies,

Strange but true – last year scientists discovered the so called „Wanderlust“-gene. Or to be more specific the DRD4-7R gene. People who carry this gene are said to be especially curious and restless, according to various researchers. Moreover, they are willing to take risks, and more interested in trying out new things than most people. One of their favorite things: To discover new countries and cultures on holiday, or to see something new and get away from everything for at least a couple of weeks per year.

This term actually comes from work psychology and signifies a condition triggered by mental underload with very similar symptoms to burnout.

All the best for Mother – and Father’s Day

Dear Family, dear Granny,

this year the first week in May is very special: As in Germany Father’s as well as Mother’s Day will be celebrated in the same week (5th and 8th of May). As close as both dates are together this year, the differences between the two could not be greater: Where as Mama traditionally is spoilt with a sumptuous breakfast in bed and a huge bunch of flowers on her day of glory, the German Daddies prefer an outing with their fellow men and a handcart on their feast day.

Newsletter Families - Good Time Management is the Key

Dear Families,

If both kids and job are waiting, then parents know the day just doesn’t have enough hours. It requires a lot of skill and organizational ability to combine both important aspects of life so that no one gets a raw deal. How nice it would be to have another pair of helping hands on board, to give support in tackling all the jobs to be done, especially if the own parents live far away.

After all, women of this age have a lot of experience, will they listen to a younger person?
