And we are through the first month of 2016 already. This means it’s time for the family project “Me and Mine again”. Take a photo each month of the whole family. I think it’s such a lovely idea because it means you are forced to take a photo when sometimes it can be so hard or you easily forget and…
To all women out there who now call themselves “Mum”, can you imagine how life was before you had children? I certainly can’t and it has only been 3 1/2 years since I gave birth to my first child. You forget so easily what you did those days. If I think back now, I would get so bored out of…
As a parent, you’ll undoubtedly be asked (or expected) to throw a party for your children most years until they hit their teens. It’s almost a given that kids want to celebrate (and quite rightly so), however it’s often difficult to know what works and what doesn’t, especially if you’re a first time parent. With that in mind, the team…
I am in such a DIY and decorating mood at the moment that I wanted to share a few more brilliant bedroom ideas with you, but this time for girls. Readers who have been following my blog for quite some time might remember that I created a video last summer to show you what Chloe’s room looks like at the…
2016 is the year of improving/upgrading our home. After living in it for nearly 7 years you’d think everything is perfect but in fact owning a house always means updating it. I love doing this sort of stuff though. I am big into DIY projects. Obviously it is going to take a bit longer when you mind 2 kids…
Every year in the UK, more than 200 people go to hospital with suspected carbon monoxide poisoning, and around 40 people die. Small children and the elderly are most at risk. 1 in 11 boilers in the UK are unsafe. With this in mind I am raising awareness how important it is, to have a Carbon Monoxide detector in the…
A new year, a new series of pictures each month of my two. I didn’t get to take that many photos of them last year unfortunately as Chloe was only little and Matthew couldn’t interact with her that much yet which is fair enough. But I have seen lately, that he likes to interact with her more and shares toys…
Today I am sharing another German recipe with you. It is one of my favourite ones my granny used to make when I came from school. I was so excited to come from school when I knew she made it.
We are just about 3 weeks away from Chloe turning 1. One year of age. Madness. Around this time last year I was struggling to walk with a big bump and pain in my back. I actually had to take an extra week off work which left me at going on maternity leave earlier. For Matthew’s birthday party the theme…
As a parent you are snapping away daily, just like me. Photos from your kids playing with their toys, on the swing in the park, on a holiday etc. It’s endless. I am particularly taking a lot of photos on my phone. It’s something I have with me at all times. Occasionally though, and it’s something I want to do…
It’s just under 2 months until my bestie and I are heading off to New York for our girly holiday. I am really excited, although I have been to New York before. I was lucky enough to be traveling with hubby twice 4 years ago with work, as we work in the same company and work in New York,…
2016… a new year has started. I still can’t believe how quick 2015 has passed. I hope 2016 will slow down a bit. For this year I have set some serious blog goals for myself. My little blog did really good in 2015 compared to 2014 but I want to get it out there even more. It’s hard work, that…
I hope everyone enjoyed the start into their new year 2016. I’ll be honest I didn’t even make it until midnight. I just about made it to 11pm to celebrate German New Year. I was woken up by the fireworks around and that was it. Goes to show, I am getting old. This was probably the first time ever in…
We are in the last day of December in 2015. This also means it will be my last time linking up with Lucy over on Dear Beautiful and her linky “Me and Mine” for the year. We didn’t really do anything mad because the weather was horrendous this year but we tried to make the most out of it. Next…
I just want to wish all fellow bloggers and my readers a happy new year 2016. I hope it is going to be good one for you all and you have a lot of things planned for another exciting year ahead. I certainly have a good year ahead because we are finally getting married, so it can’t get any more…
What a great year it has been. This year has really improved my blogging stats and I am hoping to get even more out there next year. November was the busiest month, it was the month I published the most posts. Since being part of a few blogging groups on Facebook, I find it much easier to get my little…
Christmas is over and I am back to work again. What a quick year. This Christmas was really special because it was the first Christmas Matthew understood what Santa does and he was able to help out with a few things. The weekend before Christmas we did some baking. We made some nice butter cookies, a German recipe and topped…
January of this year I started to write down what blog goals I would like to achieve by the end of 2015. The year has flown by but I really enjoyed it and I got some great opportunity over the year to work with so many different brand, that I like, together. I also discovered a few new blogs that…
I am a bit behind on my pre school book review at the moment. December has just been so busy with Christmas preparation. For the month of November we received this festive little looking book from Parragon books “Jingle, Jingle, Little Reindeer.” Just in time for the Christmas season. We loved reading this one. It’s not only for my 3…
It’s your very first Christmas with the newest member of your family, and you want everything to be just perfect. But even the most wonderful time of the year can have its challenges. Last minute present shopping, visiting relations and cooking a Christmas feast can add up to festive stress, and that was before you had baby on board. Luckily…
