Happy Friday you guys,

what is your favorite room in your home ? I think mine might be the kitchen (or the living room). I love to cook and try out new recipes also hosting is a great pleasure of mine. It is where the family comes together waiting for a homecooked meal to be ready.

I have prepared dozens of meals for different festivities and holidays in our kitchen. Hopefully there will be more opportunities this year. It hasn´t been have the fun since Covid.

Our kitchen has a little coffee corner which is the first stop in the mornings. I make some coffee for myself and prepare Emilia´s tea.

We have a large window sill behind the sink and of course like every free corner of my home it is decorated as well. The color theme of the kitchen is black, white, gray and red and I love it. First I had green decor cause that´s what I took from my old appartment with me but I was never happy with it.

Next is the sink and then come all the kitchen appliances we have. A microwave is a must around here cause there are always plenty of leftovers. We do have the Soda Stream for fresh sparkling water cause I really love it sparkly and that is the fastest and easiest way. I do have a lot more of appliances but they are stored away in the cabinets to prevent clutter.

Next is a cute plant pot where I store all of my kitchen utensils like laddles and all the items I need on a daily base and then comes a very interesting tray with our favorite red wines. Currently it is the Carnivor, a Cabernet Sauvignon we really love.

To the right side is a small shelf where I store all of my cookbooks and other items I need to host dinners like cake stands and carafes.

The bar are has been used very frequently buy my husband and I but since Emilia is here we eat all of our meals in the living room together.

I can not believe I am finally sharing our updated kitchen decor after about 4 !!! years. I really don´t know why I didn´t came around earlier but it just wasn´t something I thought about.

You can view pictures of how our kitchen looked right after we moved in this post.

Best of Fashion Books // to read + coffee table styles…

I love home decor and many of my set-ups include a good amount of coffee table books. They are perfect to add a pop of color or to get different heights for your home decor.

But how great would it be if you could actually get some information out of your book. I personally love all of the Megan Hess books, not only are they beautifully drawn but they are also very informative on certain pieces and styles. Another one I really loved is the “How to look expensive” book. It shares many great tips regarding beauty and fashion on how to save money and stay low maintenance while looking great.

Now if that isn´t two birds with one stone am I right?! All of the books I own are very affordable but there are some which cost up to 100 of Euro.

So how do I style the coffee table books? I either put two on top of each other and put a big decor piece like a lamp or a vase on it or I use a bigger book and place a picture a high slim vase and a candle in a jar with mathes beneath. There are hundreds of options to style your books.

Are you love coffee table books as much as I?

Mother ´ s Day Table Setting + Gift Ideas…

Happy Friday you guys,

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

Mother´s Day isn´t far away so I wanted to share this cute table setting with you today. You can invite all of your mom friends a day early and celebrate motherhood or you invite your mom and grandma to celebrate this special day with them.

It will be my second Mother´s Day this year and as rewarding it is to be a mom it definitely is as hard. The constant looking our for your little one that they are safe and have everything they need is intense at times but to be honest I always wanted to be mom and I wouldn´t have it any other way.

The pandemic hasn´t made it easy to find other mom´s with babies so I am glad two of my friends also became moms last year.

So for the table setting I choose an all pink and gold color theme mixed in with lace and gorgeous flowers. Overall it is a very feminine and romantic vibe. I just love how it turned out.

The little cakes are from a local bakery and husband couldn´t wait for the shot to be over so he could have one with his coffee.

Celebrating this day never had more meaning to me than today and I am so happy to be Emilia´s mom.

Since we are all someone´s daughter I am linking a few things I think would make great gifts for your mom on Mother´s Day.

All the details to Emilia´s Minnie Mouse Birthday Party…

Happy Friday you guys,

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

the weekend is finally here and also the pictures of Emilia´s first birthday are back. How adorable has the Minnie Mouse theme been? The cake I ordered was so cute I almost cried when I cut into it. Also the cupcakes were the most precious I have ever seen.

I wanted to share all the items and info with you guys here on the blog cause I got some questions and sharing it on here means it stays on my platform forever.

The theme I decided was Minnie Mouse for my little girl cause I think it is an absolute gorgeous theme for a girl´s birthday party plus we gave a Mickey Mouse stuffed animal to her some months ago and she takes it everywhere she goes so I thouht the theme would be on point as she already knows and likes her mouse plus her mommy is a huge Disney fan.

And I know it only was her first birthday party and I probably went a little overbord but so what. We have been in lockdown for so long and restricted to do so much I wanted to have the most beautiful first birthday for her even if she won´t remember it. There will always be tons of photos and items for her keepsake box.

What to include into a Minnie Mouse birthday party

The Cake

The first thing I always think about when choosing a party theme is the cake. I love cakes and the looks of them and always wanted to have a tree-tier birthday cake for my child. Now I can finally have those. I have found various pictures of Minnie Mouse cakes on Pinterest and ordered a mix between 4 or 5 different cakes.

Is one cake enough or is more required. To be honest the huge cake would have been enough cause we only invited the grand-parents due to the Corona restrictions but I wanted the little cupcakes too. A baker nearby make those and they tasted so so good plus how cute are the little cookie ears in the buttercream?!

The Decor

So party decor is right up my alley. In fact all decor is but who is counting. I get most of my party decor from Pink Dots Party Store. They have sorted their items by themes and/or color and you know me – I love great organisation.

Here is what I got from Pink Party Dots:

red/white/black rosettes / red photo backdrop garland / red dot napkins / black dot napkins

The table decor includes some things from amazon as well as etsy. These three are my go-to for every party. The cupcake etagere is from amazon and holds 24 pieces. The black sequins tablecloth is from etsy. It is huge and looked so pretty. The Minnie Mouse letters are a download from etsy. I went to a copy shop to print them on thicker paper to cute them out and make garland for Emilia out of it. To be honest I was very proud of myself cause it turned out great.

The Photo Backdrop

Who wouldn´t want a huge ballon arch occupying their living room days before the party!!! No just kidding I loved our ballon arch. It was easier to assemble than I thought and I did it with a friend of mine and to say we were pretty damn proud of ourselves would be an understatement. I got the ballon kit off of amazon plus the band to attach the ballons. The whole ballon arch concept is self-explaining once you unpacked it all. And one more thing – if you are planning on doing one you need to get an electric pump otherwise you won´t make it out alive. It still took us some time with the mashine but at least it didn´t take our breath. Since I am no one for white walls I added the red photo backdrop garland (used the same one for NYE) and really like the way it looked. This was smash cake area and it looked so great in the pictures. Highly recommend getting one of these for any kind of backdrop you would need. They are inexpensive and so easy to hang.

The birthday girl´s outfit

Our little birthday girl had two outfits. One for her great entrance including the cake smashing and one to be clean and comfortable after. I got this adorable red polka dot tulle skirt on amazon and it came with a black onesie. It is really small. I couldn´t close the onesie and I also had to add more elastic to the skirt. It is one size fits all, if you are ordering the next size there will be a two on the onesie. It was okay for us cause I tucked the onesie into the tights and she only wore it for about an hour and didn´t seem uncomfortable. The second outfit was her comfy theme look. I got this red polka dot set on amazon as well and I was just as cute as the first. I ordered the 90 cm which was still a little big but better than the other way around.

The Sentimentals

Since it was her first birthday I printed some pictures of her as a newborn and added the date. It is a personal touch and a very emotional experience to do so but I loved going through all of her newborn pictures.

Congratulaions for staying with me. It was such a long post but there were lots of details and I had so much fun planning it all for her even if we didn´t have guests other than the grand-parents. Hopefully next year will be different.

Wishing you a happy weekend. See you.
