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.
Skirt is available here

A full week with Easter brunch, Easter break for the girls and our visit in Salzburg. The weather has been inbetween good and bad. We had plenty of sunshine and warmth but also gray days with rain. I love having all girls at home but can´t get much done in terms of cleaning and tidying up.
Monday – Was our family´s big Easter brunch with so many delicous treats.
Tuesday – Of course we had plenty of leftovers from our brunch so we ate them today.
Wednesday – Noodles of cours. With butter for the girls and arrabiata sauce and parmesan cheese for us.
Thursday – Salmon (made in the air fryer) and broccoli.
Friday – We had the most amazing Chinese food in Salzburg. Terriaky Duck !!!!
Saturday – Went out to a Line Dance party and has some steak and grilled veggies there.
Sunday – We were invited to brunch by our friends and had lots of different dishes. Of course there were many many leftovers and we ate those in the evening as well.
I think Spring fashion has finally taken over. No coats in sight anymore.
In comparison to last week this was definitely a breeze. We rescheduled our Easter Brunch to Monday so the week started amazingly with good food and family time. We had plenty of different dishes from waffles, to salmon and tuna dips to stuffed peppers and mushrooms, lots of different bread and so much more. I made my carrot cake on a sheet pan this time and it was even easier especially with the frosting than all the years before.
My husband and I and our littlest sidekick – of course – spent two days (or exactly 24 hours) in Salzburg. We had one gorgeous day and one not so gorgeous but we made the best out of it. The big girls stayed at their grandma´s. It is great to have some time to walk around and talk about all the things that happened cause with three kids the day to day life is often very busy and sometimes we don´t even know what is going on in each others life. I never thought this would happen but is saddly does so we take day trips very often to reconnect. Staying at beautiful places and have some sights to look at and good food is the cherry on top.
How is it that you always think about moving to a place when you are on vacation. I think about it everytime and look up rental prices, good districts and kindergarten. Food prices and if the company my husband works is anywhere near. Really funny but my brain just lashes out.

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 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.
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 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
