Isn´t this huge Magnolia tree the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. I am still not over it. Everywhere we went in Salzburg last week the trees and bushes have been in full bloom. Nature truly is magnificent.
Matching the tree hasn´t been a coincident on my side cause we visited last year around the same time and I packed a few matching pieces just in case the trees would be blooming. The location of is inside the gardens of castle Mirabell. If you go there early (we went there around 8:30) there is no one there. Plus points are that there is a bridge in front of the tree so you are in the middle of all the pink blossoms.
I wanted an elevated look for our Salzburg visit cause the „real“ women of Salzburg are always so chic. You can definitely spot them inbetween the crowds. I have noticed this last year and while I always give an effort to dress nice this is a whole other level. I think I did pretty well this year. My look is like many time a mix between high and low pieces. The green shirt and the wool blazer have been pretty affordable while the handbag is a real investment piece.
It is the DeMellier Miami and has been discontiued in this shape and color. You can find some sale pieces around the internet but if you are interested you should act quick.
Our big girl turned six year the end of March. SIX YEARS !!! Which means she will start school in September. I am in shock and disbelief but it is how it is. I have been waiting for one of the girls wanting a mermaid birthday party for a few years now and it finally came true. I just love theme parties I can decorate for.
The Decor
The theme was 12/10. I always knew that there was so much things to choose from but never ever have I thought I am going to have so much fun with the mermaid theme. Emilia only gave me the very important colors for her cake – pink, purple and turquoise and I just worked my way around it. All of my birthday decorations are a mix of SheIn, amazon and Temu. They just offer the biggest selection to great prices.
A huge ballon arch and sequins are mandatory. Everything else colorful and glitter is just the cherry on top.
The fishing net with the jellyfish are probably the coolest table decor we ever had. And since we are having those accoustic panels on the back of the dining area it is super easy to decorate here as well. Garlands of jellyfish, shells and seastars.
The Cake
I probably sound like a broken record on this but it was the most beautiful cake we have ever had. I mean the details are just impeccable. have you seen all the different shells on top of it. The pearls and waves. The mermaid tales.
We had vanilla buttercream andf illed with nut. It tasted like a Giotto in a cake. All the flavors have been the birthday girls choices and they blended in together nicely.
The Kids Party
The kids birthday party was a week later and I had 6 girls over including my 3 so there was definitely a lot going on.
We first had cake and then they each handed the birthday girl the presents. After that we started with the birthday festivities. We had painting and
Happy Easter everyone. I hope you had some nice days with your family or even a nice holiday wherever you are. Easter is the holiday of hope and we could all need some after everything that is going on in the world.
Weekly Review
What we ate
Not a very creative week as we maily ate leftovers simply because there is no need in throwing away good food from the day before.
Monday – Leftovers from Sunday´s lunch with my inlaws and Mc Donald´s for lunch after the indoor climbing place. I love the chicken Ceasar wrap. The dressing is really good.
Tuesday – I made fried rice with shrimp and vegetables and egg and to my surprise everyone loved it
Wednesday – Butter noodles it was cause I had no time to cook. Not my nor the girl´s day. We all had been in a bad mood
Thursday – I make this chickpea tuna salad on a frequent base. I really love the taste of it altogether and it is filling as well
Friday – We had leftover pizza from the birthday party
Saturday – Still leftover cake and pizza from the kids birthday party
Sunday – Easter brunch and took home many leftovers and ate them at home for dinner
What I wore
Easter Sunday had the perfect Summer weather. So glad cause I did´t want to wear my white and lavender Easter look in the cold rain.
What we did
Since the girls have been on Easter break I was looking for activities to do with all the girls. There is a climbing indoor playground nearby which is a lot better than a usual indoor playground. The girls loved it and climbed and slided for two solid hours. After that we went to McDonalds for lunch.
On Wednesday the weather was really bad and the girls did not know what to do with themselves so we went out for ice cream to a nearby Italian café.
Thursday we drove to Abensberg to the Easter market. The area was really cool decorated with lots of Easter eggs and bunnies and the girls loved the round-about.
On Friday it was my big girl´s kids birthday party. I had 6 girls over as guests plus my 3. Quite a lot going on but they all behaved really well and had fun coloring and looking for little treasures in the sand box. As you can see the theme has been mermaid and I loved everything about the decor. So fun putting this up.
On Saturday it was my dad´s birthday and the whole family went out for lunch to Parzefall in Regensburg-Burgweinting. I had the beef stew with dumplings and the others the meat trio and it was sensational. Every single category of every dish was amazing. Definitely going there again soon.
Easter Sunday after church we went to my inlaws house for Easter brunch. All of my husbands family was there and we had a rich meal in food and conversation. The girls looked for their Easter baskets and played outside. The weather couldn´t been better. All in all a very happy and satisfying day.
Misc
I did not have much of a color concept for this years Easter outfits but immediately knew that those purple flower dresses would be amazing. How adorable is the caridgan with the yellow and purple knitted flowers !!!
March was a very long month (it even felt a lot longer than January) with outift choices from Winter to Summer and back again. I have never seen so much strange weather. It was raining, snowing, hailing, freezing and sunny and foggy and warm and so on and so on….
But nevertheless I tried to incorporate as many colorful outfits as possible to keep up the good mood. Color boosts your mood. Trust in the process and in the hue.
