The Birthday Tag – LLL Vlogs 34

Do birthdays in your family also come in multiples? We have seven  to celebrate from February 7th to March 12th, then months with only a few sprinkled in, and then again four within three weeks time starting October. Needless to say that birthdays and party planning are keeping me occupied right now. Mine has come and gone, with no celebration due to the fact that I was a) sick and b) turning 39, which didn’t feel like a huge milestone.     Next up is my daughters, she will be…

November 2016 – Favorites and Recap

November itself was a pretty uneventful month for me. It went by very quickly, and at the same time some days seemed to drag along, which is probably due to the fact that I did not do that much fun stuff.     It was all about preparation so I could have a little Christmas break from blogging despite starting to work again in December, and on top of that it was quite rainy, leaving me to the challenge of keeping two kids entertained indoors. I really did my best,…

August 2016 Favorites

August 2016 will forever be remembered as the month of boxes. And living out of boxes. And falling over boxes. You get the drill. But there still was some stuff, mostly the already unboxed stuff (ha, how many time can I say boxes in one paragraph?), that I enjoyed using.     So here they are: My August 2016 Favorites. Barely any makeup, some skincare and a lot of random stuff. But sometimes life is just that. Random.

Date Night Vlog – A night in the woods

And then she started vlogging… But hey, you asked for it! At least some of you did.     For a start, I take you with me on a date night with Mr. Loca, accompanying him on a hunt (don’t worry, no blood was spilled) and enjoying lots of shooting stars.   Aktivieren Sie JavaScript um das Video zu sehen.https://youtu.be/N10TgEkvYiY   Please tell me if you want to see more stuff like that. But be warned, my life usually is not that exciting!

June 2016 Favorites

Another month, another favorites post. Ain´t that how it goes? I will tell you what was not my favorite this month in the post here: The weather!     You see, it was raining pretty much all June, and with June 21th coming along, I knew the days were going to get shorter. Now I am all about those long, warm and light summer evenings spend outdoors with friends and a cold drink, and if that didn´t happen before the nights are getting longer again, I feel cheated. But enough moaning…

The Baltic Sea in winter – just breathe and relax!

Most people think of summer when they think about booking a seaside holiday. The beach, cocktails, swimming in the sea while soaking up the sun sounds like a match made in heaven. And it is, I don’t disagree. But there is another perfect time to book a little seaside getaway, and that time is… November. Of course, swimming isn’t up there on the list of November activities, but there are a lot of advantages when you travel throughout the colder months.

On my plate – Red lentil soup with fennel

If you don’t know the “On my plate”-posts I do, please check here for some explanation. In a nutshell, I share with you recipes that are – healthy (most of the time) – delicious (at least in my opinion) – easy (I´m not much of a cook) and are great for kids. Please keep in mind: I don’t believe in following a strict diet. Neither do I do Low-Carb, cut out dairy completely, feel the need to eat gluten-free nor do I count calories.  I am a part-time pescetarian due to 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…

Tea time – Wax Lyrical and NEOM Candles

Every family has their own rituals, and while they may seem boring or plain while we still live at home, they often turn out to be the things we miss most after we moved out. At our place, it was “Teestunde”, probably best translated with “Tea time”. Every day when it got dark outside my mother would brew a pot of tea from tea leaves (not teabags, mind you!), light some candles and sit down with a book. And slowly, one after the other, me and my sisters would join…
