Our Family

I hope my Mom has the best day today and that everyone enjoys watching House Hunters International tonight! Remember, even though it is about us, it's also a TV show made for entertainment purposes!

I'll fill you in on some behind-the-scenes news after it airs ;) If you don't catch it at 10:30PM, it'll also be on at 1:30AM. Bok svima! Prijatno ;)

Feeling the Love

When Tomislav and I went home to the States in December, we had a long trip. We were flying on different flights (boo) that arrived at the same time at EWR (yay!), but the day was long so we were really excited to get there and to be able to stay the night at my sister and brother-in-law's place. The next morning we were driving up to my parents house in PA. My sister and I are super silly and she suggested, wouldn't it be fun if we got all dressed up for our Mom and I totally agreed. My Mom is super fashionable and loves to dress nicely so it was the perfect idea for her. We even took it a step further and got T-Slav to put his suit on! Anyway, we drove to PA, feeling a bit jet lagged but we were OK.

When we got to my parents house, my Mom and Dad ran outside along with Paul (my brother-in-law) and his siblings (who we knew were gonna be there) and we were so excited to see everyone! It was amazing to reunite! We greeted each other outside, took some pics, and T and I were kind of confused why no one was commenting on how dressed up we were!

Anyway, so we walk up the stairs to go into the house and....

 

Christmas with the Kranx

Christmas at home in PA means a lot of things but the best part is probably the crazy silly fun we have with my family. My sister and I have an annual Christmas photo shoot (one of my favorite parts of Christmas) which is always hilarious. This year, my sister rediscovered her musical talents from middle school, busted out her flute, and got her tunes on.

 Zagreb Philharmonic is looking for a new flutist...I think they should consider her!

 

 Watch out Lisinski, there's a new girl coming to town! There's also a brand new juggler!

Dominika and her bestie Robin (aka another member of our crazy Krank family) rocking out

 Tomislav learned how to build a fire! Sitting by the fireplace is one of my absolute favorite things to do in the winter at home, I just wish we'd get some snow soon!

 

Lovely :)

 Every year, poor Dad has had to take our Christmas photoshoot pictures, we get so silly!

 My beautiful sissy!

 Dominika and I - the best Maid of Honor ever!

From PA to Zagreb!

Yayyyyy!!!  

We are SUPER EXCITED to share the news that we're going to be filming an episode of 

Big, huge thanks to first of all, my amazing sister, Dominika, for urging me to start this blog, without which we wouldn't have gotten approached to be on the show! Not only do I love writing my blog, it's really fun for me, but it's also the reason why we'll get to be on the show. This awesome producer, Michelle, found my blog and left me a comment on here and we started corresponding about our story and they thought we'd be a really great fit. 

Then, our lovely friends, Sarah and Jan, filmed us running around Zagreb showing our favorite things so that the other producers and network could see what we're really like. They loved the video (despite my horrible editing and file compressing efforts) and notified us that we'll be featured on the show! I've been a huge fan of the show and it's literally like a dream come true that we'll get to be on it. I'm so excited, it's gonna be a really fun experience for us! If you haven't seen the show before House Hunters International is a half-hour program currently airing on the Home and Garden Television Network (HGTV) in America. The series is designed to de-mystify the international home-buying process by going behind the scenes of a house hunt where expats and their real estate agents tour 3 homes. At its core, House Hunters International is a travel show concentrating on the idiosyncrasies of the locales and what makes them special and different.

You can watch an example of the show here. (California to Vienna)

If you want to check out the video we made, you can see it here:

 

If this video doesn't work, the producers put our video up here. Check it out! P.S. Our friends who helped film the video, Sarah and Jan, can be seen having a coffee with T-Slav in the video :) Thank you thank you everybody!
