I have used the same products for years now and I thought I´ll give you an update on everything I use. Not a big fan of changing things up. If they work that´s great and I will keep all of it. I have a 5 minute make-up morning routine cause I do not and want not spend more time on it.
Personally I love my make-up, professionally there might be some things to change up but it is fine for me and the products work together. So let´s start with the base.

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.

Monday – Left overs from our Sunday lunch at my inlaws.
Tuesday – One pot pasta – with maccaroni, mushrooms and chicken breast with a sauce made out of cream and spices.
Wednesday – Veggie day with minestrone and grilled cheese.
Thursday – I made chicken noodle soup cause the weather has been so bad and it was so cool in the mornings, it called for soup
Friday – We had our tenth anniversary on Friday !!!!! so I got us some Sushi and we had a quiet lunch date. It was divine.
Saturday – I made the easiest and quickest chickpea salad for dinner. Just chickpeas, canned tuna and mozzarella cheese with some green pesto.
Sunday – We had schitzel and potatoe salad. A favorite of everyone.
I just love polka dots and denim. My most worn fabric and pattern these days.
The week started just right with a breakfast date with my bestie. We had a delicious breakfast and some girl talk and it was great as always.
My course to be a official Line Dance instructor started on Saturday. I have 2 more course days next weekend and then a little break until Fall and then I am picking it up again.
On Sunday my big girl and I went to Disney on Ice at the Olympic Park in Munich. Oh the drive there was hell. Looking for a parking space was really terrifying. I got the last one before the Olympic park shut down. The Disney on Ice was a great show. Not to long but also lots to look for the children. It wasn´t sold out at all and we could pick a better spot to sit.
They had a lot of merchandise and I came away with only one piece – a stuffed Elsa. It is for her birthday though so it´s fine. The show was a medley of many different Disney movies with the greatest songs like Arielle, Tangled, Moana, Stitch, Frozen and some more I really can not remember.
Friday was a special day for our big girl. The Kindergarten invited us to the Kid´s Coffee. All of the offered cakes have been baked by the Kindergarten kids and the big kids wore little aprons and brought us to our tables and served us our coffee, drinks and cake. It was the cutest thing to see them running around, being busy and taking orders. They even made the table decor by themselves.

It really was a week for the books. Gorgeous weather, no drama, cool day trips and overall so much joy. I have had a great week parenting wise and I also got so much done in terms of organizing, cleaning and purging. Weeks like this make you feel like you can conquer it all and then there are others too which we don´t want to talk about.
Monday – I always premake a dinner cause I have Line Dance on Mondays or we eat leftovers from Sunday dinner
Tuesday – On Tuesday the girls are mostly at my MIL so they have dinner there and I have a delicious girl lunch
Wednesday – I made spinach dip (all the girl´s favorite) and salmon in the air fryer
Thursday – Chicken and Rice day from our favorite Asian restaurant
Friday – Homemade pizza – a great dinner option cause everyone can top their pizza with what they like
Saturday – We had dinner at the zoo. Fries and pizza and curry sausage
Sunday – Brunch at my inlaws
It was a very cool Spring week outfitwise. Gorgeous sunny weather and many colorful pieces to wear.
On Friday my big girl and I went to Munich for her birthday shopping and exploring trip. She was so happy and excited, it was the cutest thing to watch. After we got there we climbed the 14 !!!! floors of church St. Peter and has the best round view. I was also great that the weather was amazing. After that we decided to get a quick lunch and coffee break cause we both were totally out of breath. We had grilled cheese and panini for lunch. After that I had booked tickets for an elevator ride up the tower of city hall (or the castel like Emilia called it). Another beautiful look around and you could also spot the alps far away cause the sky was so blue. Then we finally hit the stores and after we did some damage had a delicious ice cream and little cake and coffee right at Marienplatz – the biggest place in Munich – and listening to street music and just watching the hustle and bustle of a big city.
On Saturday we went to the zoo in Straubing. We haven´t gone in a long time but our middle girl wanted to go and look at monkeys – she LOVES monkey – so we thought why not make a day of it. The weather was beautiful and warm and it really was the perfect day. The girls always behave so well when we are out and about.
