Now that Christmas is over and routines are back the new toys might have gotten a little less interesting and that is the exact time you can start organizing and packing things away. Kids are back in Kindergarten, school or daycare and we can reset our living room or playroom. Having stuff lying around everywhere feels cluttered and overwhelming. 

We tip-toe through a land of Duplo, Playmobil and Barbie and in the end step on a Tonie Box figure which hurts so much you could easily have an open flesh wound. This is when I start to collect everything from every room and start to organize and categorize and in the end order the right container/boxes whatever and tidy everything up. 

I hope one day my children are going to appreciate the order of their things and put every piece back in its place but I also understand that they are too little now.

This post has been quite the process in the making cause I for myself had to work through tons of toys. Not only what my children got for Christmas but also the things we had already. At some point the mess just becomes so overwhelming that I have to do something. In this case organize the hell out of it.

I have made a long overdue trip to Woolworth / Action and Tedi and got tons of containers. They have lot´s of different options at great price points. I especially love the small ones for teeny tiny things and you won´t get them everywhere. Other than that I can recommend Ikea for bigger boxes.

We are still waiting for Spring to stay (temps ocassionally drop to 10 degrees and under) but when it is warm I just love to throw on a denim jacket over a cute shirt or dress. You are dressed immediately and it also dresses down any too formal dress.

Weekly Review 

What we ate

MondayLeftovers from Sunday lunch

TuesdayDinner with my uncle-in-law at Restaurant Orphée in Regensburg. French cuisine. I had the salmon and tuna fish spread as an appetizer and the entrecôte with grilled veggies and sauce Bernaise.

Wednesday

ThursdayStuffed peppers with white rice. Somehow this is a true favorite of the girls. Doesn´t fit into their usual food scale but as long as they eat something I do not care.

Friday

SaturdayWe had a very late lunch (or even early dinner) at the Fuchsgarten in Riedenburg. I ate bratwurst and kraut and my husband had meat patties and potatoe salad. The girls of course french fries.

SundayMy most favorite food in the whole wide world – chicken stew with dumplings made of semolina.

What we did

On Tuesday my uncle-in-law (I know that this is not exactly the right term but I like it) invited all the girls of the family for our yearly dinner. We went to the French restaurant Orphée in downtown Regensburg. Everything we had was really really delicious. Did not expect that to be honest. One of the best steaks I have ever eaten.

 

On Saturday we finally cashed in Emilia´s birthday wish (or her birthday tradition) and went to Riedenburg way up high to the Rosenburg. Two times a day you can watch trained falconer interact with the big birds like sea hawks or vultures. Really interesting and the girls love it every year.

 

After the bird show we drove back down into Riedenburg cause my mom recommended the Fuchsgarten Biergarten to us and it was really nice. Playground and petting zoo for the kids and a very nice seating area to have your food. It is self service but honestly I do prefer that cause I think it´s a lot quicker than waiting for the food and the girls do appreciate that.

 

Saturday evening I attended a very cool Line Dance festivity with the band Mountain Four. We danced and enjoyed the music and it was really nice.

 

Misc

The majority of our weekend plans happened on Saturday. The saying „When it rains, it pours“ really hits us a lot around here.
