Gardening – a new trend?

I admit, I am stressed. No surprises here, I bet most people in my situation would be, yoga teachers being a possible exception. And I know that being stressed isn´t healthy, and I KNOW that I am a stress eater (gimme all the carbs!), which isn´t healthy either. So I should probably do something about it. Given that I can´t change the circumstances, and, quite honestly, don´t want to change them (seriously, giving up the kids is not an option, but giving up the job isn´t one either), I…

LLL Vlogs 35 – Cake and Chanel

There are some struggles with motherhood that no one really prepares you for. And I am not talking sleepless nights and complete loss of privacy here. I talk about the struggles you face when your kids develop their own taste and it is completely different to yours. “It is a phase!” is what people tell me, and I cling on to that hope like a drowning woman. Because right now all my daughter wants is pink, glitter and unicorns. And if you know me just a little, pink,…

Time saviors – Surviving as a new mom

The one thing I remember from being a new mom last time is the strange way your days feel. On the one hand, they seem endless.

You spend hours researching the right kind of mattress for your baby´s crib. You read debates on whether or not to carry your baby, while expert mothers of four fight battles against each other in the depths of the internet regarding self-soothing. But there is one thing you can read wherever and whenever the…

On my plate – Vegetable Hot Pot

In the life of every parent comes the moment when you decide to start feeding your child the same food you eat on a day to day basis. In my life, this was a moment of truth. I looked at what I had been eating for the last few weeks and suddenly realized that it had been neither wholesome nor nutritious and for sure not the kind of food I would want Little Bean to have. And if your diet is that bad you wouldn’t want your child to eat…

Getting back into shape – Post Baby Body

Weights and weight But I have come a long way since the Little Bean was born and even if I am not where I want to be quite yet, I have learned a lot about my body and working…
