Duck Creek Street

Duck Creek Street (DCS) is the personal lifestyle blog of Alex Katte, an American from Texas who has made her home in Germany. What began as a one-year au pair adventure grew into a life abroad that includes a master’s degree, a corporate career, a German husband, and two Bavarian-Texan sons. Through her blog, Alex shares practical advice and personal experiences for English-speaking readers navigating life in Germany, particularly Munich and Bavaria.

Topics include activities for English-speaking mothers on parental leave, baby essentials for different stages, and Alex’s experience giving birth as an American expat. Her posts combine firsthand perspective with useful ideas for families and others interested in living abroad. The site also introduces visitors to Alex through her podcast appearance and offers the opportunity to subscribe to receive new posts by email. Beyond the blog, Alex creates custom embroidery through her Katte & Co. shop, giving readers a way to explore and purchase her work.
