Happy February – I am really glad that the 68 days of January are finally over and we are back into a normal month. Feburary is full of events this year. We have Valentine´s Day and Carnival at the same time so I am going to share lots of both. You can choose what to read or just have a look at both. I would be very happy.

Weekly Review 

What we ate

Monday –

Tuesday –

Wednesday –

Thursday –

Friday – Potatoes and salmon from the air fryer

Saturday – Tomatoe soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. I have been using the same recipes for years. It is very simple and includes apples, onions, vegetable broth, tomatoes and cream cheese. You can spice it up as you like or just use salt and pepper

Sunday – We had oven chicken topped with melted cheese and noodles

What I wore

It was dress week over here. The theme for this week and it made me realize how much I miss my Spring and Summer dresses. It is so much easier without tights. 

What we did 

We attended a Candle Light Concert – Tribute to Taylor Swift on Friday evening. This was so so cool. The room and stage was lit with hundreds of candles and the artist (4 string quartett) played songs from different albums. I loved that they had a lot of songs from the RED album and they started with All Too Well. 

I officially have a big school girl now. We picked a school backpack on Saturday and she is so proud with the one she picked. I could burst watching her although I can not believe I had her almost 6 years ago and now she is a big and very smart kid. #proudmamamoment 

I had a very nice coffee date with a long time friend of mine. Always so much fun having coffee and chatting about our children and life. Carnival decor is everwhere and delicious Krapfen. Could be worse.

Since it snowed the temparatures have dropped and we enjoyed going sleighing the whole weekend. The two big girls had so much fun in the snow. 

Misc

I have been looking at my tulips all week and can´t wait for Spring to finally arrive. I know it is still Winter in February but time is on our side. One more months and we might have much milder temperatures and sunshine. 

Lots of coffee and inside play this week. Can you spot the little hands and the kitchen gadgets !!!

So let´s see, well not much has happened at the beginning of the week. We fell back into our routine pretty well. The big girls are back in Kindergarten and still love it very much and I am home with my little shopping companion.

Weekly Review # 3

What we ate 

Monday – I made a German Wedding Soup – which includes chicken broth and three types of dumplings (one made of semolina, one made of liver and one made of sausage). The girls divide and conquer here as each one of them likes to eat a different dumpling. 

Tuesday – Had so many leftovers (feta cheese and tomatoes and mushrooms) that we made scrambled eggs and put everything together in a pan. Eggs are generally loved in our house so you can never go wrong with it and it also includes lots of protein.

Wednesday – There was a Bavarian buffet for dinner at the hotel we stayed in. It was delcious. Lots of Bavarian meats, dumplings, salads and of course desserts. 

Thursday – The 4 – course menu was absolutely delcious. I haven´t had such an amazing meal in a very long time. Every single thing just tasted soo soo good. 

Friday – We got our air fryer on Friday and made potoato cubes with sour cream. A delcious and easy dish. I added cucumber and garlic and some herbs and it tasted very good with the crsip potatoes from the air fryer. A very simple but satisfying meal.

Saturday – I made burger for the kids and us but I ate them with a low carb bread option – lettuce leaves. My kids are not super into burger but they love a meat patty and cheese so that´s a win.

Sunday – We went to brunch to my inlaws and took leftovers home with us and had those at night. Lots of cheese, vegetables, sausages and different bread.

What I wore

It was the third week of my closet challenge and it was free choice week. It was pretty easy for me to choose out cute clothes to wear this week. I am still loving the closet challenge and find getting dressed a lot easier again. Year prior I have layed out all my outfits of the week on my arm chair in my closet and I was dressed quickly in the mornings and happy with my look. I am still doing this to this day but not to the extent of more than two or three days. 

Next weeks closet challenge theme will be „Let your husband pick out a different piece every single day“. I can´t wait what he is going to pick for me. Going to share over on Instagram.

This weeks outfits

What we did 

We took a three day spa trip to the Bavarian Forest from Wednesday to Friday so there was not much we did before. Monday didn´t happen much at all cause we had super icy roads and everything got cancelled due to the weather so we mainly stayed at home and played / watched movies.

The big girls have been visiting their grandma from Wed-Fr while we were away. They always have the best time there and I love that for them. Feels like a small vacation for my girls as well. 

Misc

My overall thoughts of this week are that we didn´t do a lot cause before and after our trip we stayed „just“ home. There is nothing wrong in being at home if you love it as much as I do but I sometimes have the feeling I need to schedule more things but when there is something different each day I am easily feeling overwhelmed. Anyone else the same about it ?

Also how can I be 36 ?? Most of the times I don´t even feel like a grown-up and now I am almost 40 !! Maybe a little too dramatic but how in the world did time fly this fast.
