About
June 1st, 2005 by Blythe
My name is Blythe. I live in Germany with my husband, Jeff, and my son, Theo. We are Americans who try to seem cosmopolitan and worldly but we’re actually dying for Taco Bell to open a franchise across the street from our apartment.
I write about books I like, TV personalities I dislike, my general bewilderment with living in a country where I fail daily to communicate, and other topics that I find interesting. I also post photos here from time time.
You can contact me at blythe(at)theblythespirit(dot)com.
Here are some favorite posts.
Here are some books I’ve read.
Here is the Jeff and Blythe move to Germany FAQ.

Oh Wow! I am so very glad to have found your blog, Blythe.. especially about the baby adventures! I am an American who is about to become German by marriage.. and live permanently in Deutchlands.. We are planning to get started on a family soon, also because of my “age”.. the clock it seems, is ticking! So here I am, learning German, still in the USA, while my future husband is working and waiting for me over there.. just until I can tie up all loose ends here. I will be fortunate to have a fluent speaker of English and German in the form of my husband, but you’re blog is going to save me a tremendous amount of worry and trouble.. Hope you keep up the wonderful work because I will definitely keep reading! And I wish you and Jeff the absolute best with your new son.. Hope all is still going well.. Thanks again! Isabelle
Hi Blythe! It’s Keeley. I’d love to give you a call to catch up. Could you email me your phone number? I’m still at cycle2_99@yahoo.com
Gruss! I stumbled on your blog somehow and wanted to say hi. My husband and I are getting ready to move to Frankfurt in 30 short days and I’m trying to soak up as much as I can! Any words of wisdom are appreciated.
Blythe-
Courtenay McHugh passed your blog along to me. We are neighbors in Amsterdam. My husband and I recently moved from Portland (and the other shoe company in town) to Amsterdam. We are expecting our first child in about 7 days. Your blog has been great to read – I started with your last few weeks of pregnancy.
I really enjoy reading your blog, and book reviews! Keep up the good work!
