Happy Friday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/ Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

it is a holiday over here in Germany and boy it has been the most boring day ever. In normal times I would love to have a holiday but since we are staying home due to the Coronavirus every day is the same and today had been especially bad. It is rainy and cold outside and so we couldn´t do anything outside although I got a lot of shots done I still feel blah. But I guess some days are rather fun than others.

So let´s talk about this whole #socialdistancing thing. We are home all the time and there are so many things we can get accomplished, we never had any time before and that is great. Also being around the people you love all the time is a huge blessing (at least for us over here) but being together all the time can be hard on some couples too so you have to find some time for yourself. 

Everyone needs some downtime alone even if it is just a short shower but having some time to yourself helps to keep your mood in a good place. 

It really depends on what your preferences are. Having a glass of wine while reading your favorite magazine marks an hour well used. Or if you like organizing and it makes you feel good go and clean out a closet/drawer etc. I personally enjoy that a lot and I feel much more accomplished and happier after. 

Times are hard at the moment with all the restrictians and lockdowns but if you want to stay happy while you have to stay at home its the little things that make your day.

Happy early Friday, 

(post contains affilaite links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I love pleated skirts. They have something so feminine and flowy to them and always look classy and chic. I have quite the collection and love adding new pieces.

The pretty piece in the picture above is from H&M from the Richard Allen x H&M collection (I also have the dress) and it is THE skirt for day and night. 

So for this look I wanted to dress it down as I was at home for the day with our baby girl and only went for a walk later where we took the photos (I am so happy when we can go out gain cause at some point I need a location change for my photos).

To dress down the skirt I went with a white graphic tee (I have been loving these lately whether they have a print, a writing or a band across) and a pair of flat sandals. Pairing a graphic tee with a skirt (whether it is a pleated skirt, a leopard skirt or a leather skirt) immediately dresses it down and totally adds that coolness factor to chic pieces.

It is a holiday over here tomorrow so if our mini boss allows it I am going to shoot some beauty and hair posts to have ready for you next week. As we spend so much time at home this is the perfect time to practice your hair and make-up skills when you are tired of watching Netflix.

….

Mother´s Day this year is super special for me as it is the first Mother´s Day I get to celebrate for myself too. I still can´t believe we finally have our baby girl. At some times it seems so surreal. Being a mom is awesome. So far it has been the best job I have ever had and the greatest experience I have ever made. 

I love our little baby girl so much and spending time with her is just the best.

So for celebrating our mothers and ourselves I have created a little gift guide with cute things to make everyday life a little more special.

One Month with Baby Emilia…

It marked one month yesterday since we had our sweet little baby girl and I still can´t believe it. Time has flown by. My husband is back to work after his one month maternity leave which means he is just working from another room these days but still. 

3 days

4 weeks

I remember the moment they layed her onto my chest like it was yesterday. The sweetest tiny baby I have ever seen. Today had been our one month check up at the pediatrician. She gained about 1,5 kg since her birth which is great cause I always had the thought she doesn´t get enough breastmilk.

One Month Progress

She definitely became more alert. She is following lights with her eyes and looks at bright and patterned things. She starts to smirk and smile and I can´t wait for her first baby laugh. Another thing I love are baby sneezes – aren´t those the cutest. 

She has grown 6 cm already which means some of her clothes aren´t fitting anymore and that makes me so sad. I don´t want her to grow up this fast but I am also happy she is developing as one healthy and happy baby.

Eating most of the day and taking long naps are some of the things which are our day to day business She is a pretty good sleeper so I only have to feed her twice a night and then she usually stays asleep until eight or half past nine. We recently started tummy time and she is doing pretty well.

Kicking is one ability she recently added to her skills so I ordered an activity playmat for her. Also her grasp is getting tighter by the day and she might start holding things soon.

Her hair is getting more and darker every day but I am still not quite sure what her definite hair color will be.

We still can´t decide if which one of us she resembles more but this will hopefully change in the coming weeks. 

I am going to share  a post about all the things we use on a daily basis and can´t get through without in about four weeks. This gives me enough time to try and test each product.
