I was Carnival week over here and that means lots of costumes and lots of parties and strange songs. There really is so much I can take of it all but the girls love it so let´s power through am I right.

Weekly Review

What we ate

I made lots of quick and easy meals this week cause we have been out most afternoons and there isn´t much time left for cooking when we get home and everyone is hungry already.

Monday – We had chicken noodle soup

Tuesday – Soup leftovers and pankcakes (the girls often wish for pancakes for lunch)

Wednesday – Potatoe salad and sausages

Thursday – Take-out from our favorite. IYKYK

Friday – I made a one pan meal with gnocchi and mushrooms and some sauce

Saturday – I didn´t want to cook much so I made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and feta cheese. Really easy but tastes so good. 

Sunday – Sunday brunch at my MIL (we got lots of leftovers and ate these at night)

What I wore

Another great week of outfits. I have coorporated some pink and blush for Valentine´s week. The closet theme has been the color Brown and I think I nailed it pretty good.

What we did

I got a box of delicious Valentine´s Day doughnuts from Dunkin´s. To say they didn´t last long would be an absolute exageration. 

My mom and I went to a Line Dance Carnival Party on Saturday and it was super fun. We danced the night away. 

My girls also had several carnival attendings and they have picked their costumes all by themselves this year. They went as fox and Miss Mouse. Still so cute seeing them this excited about getting dressed up.

Misc 

The weather has been beyond awful this week. It was super rainy and windy and overal just indoor weather. I am so sick of staying inside and being imprisioned in my own home. I know this sounds a little too dramatic but the cold months steal so much of our life and quality time outside.

Weekly Review

This week has been the calm before the storm. Next week is going to hit hard with lots of carnival and Valentine´s Day prep. I am always trying to get as much as possible done for the next week but some things like food prep can not be done a week before. Also decorating (I decorated our play group room for the mama-and-baby classes) has to be done shortly before. My girls have one curated day of the week when they are at their grandma´s house so I try to get as much as possible done on these days. 

What we ate

Monday – Oven potatoes with Feta Cheese

Tuesday – German Wedding Soup with three kinds of dumplings – sausage, liver and semolina.

Wednesday – We had take-out from our favorite – the girls had chicken and fries and we had a Durüm (a wrap filled with meat, cole and sauce)

Thursday – Leftovers from the day before and – of course – butter noodles for the girls 

Friday – Omelett with cheese, tomatoes, ham and rocket

Saturday – Pasta with tomatoe sauce (cause unfortunately the girls do not like anything else at the moment)

Sunday – We ate out in Adlersberg with our family.

What I wore

It was mystery week of my closet challenge and I picked one piece blindfolded every day. Really cool if you want to wear pieces you haven´t reached for in a while. I have managed to style everything I have picked to my satisfaction.

What we did

I was out having breakfast with a mom friend of mine. We have a guacamole, bacon and egg bread topped of with lots of pesto and rocket. Very delicious but also very difficult to eat. Especially with one hand while containing an active toddler with the other.

My MIL celebrated her birthday today and we went out for lunch to a very old Bavarian restaurant and after that had cake and coffee at her house with the extended family. The girls behaved very well and ordered all by themselves and the little baby slept through all the lunch.

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 – We got plenty of leftovers from Sunday. That´s always great cause I am usually away for Line Dance on Mondays so having prepped dinners saves tons of time.

Tuesday – Chicken and ribs day. 

Wednesday – I have made pasta with beef and tomatoe sauce for my husband and I and butter noodles for the girls. At some point they didn´t like the meat sauce anymore and I just don´t know why. IYKYK

Thursday – Gnocchi with a mushroom and cream gravy. I made the Gnocchi in the air fryer but did not like them. To dry and crunchy. Maybe they need a little bit of oil the next time around.

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 !!!
