This has been quite the week. Between looking to get everything together for my great-aunts move into her nursing home I had to organize some things for our baptism next week and I also had to pack up a ton of stuff for our trip to Salzburg. We only stayed for two nights but we needed as much as if we´d be away for a week. It is insane how much you need to pack with three little children.

MEALS

MONDAY – Potatoes and sausage

TUESDAY – Build your own burger

WEDNESDAY – Sandwiches

THURSDAY – Leftovers – so there wouldn´t be so much food left in the fridge

FRIDAY – Dinner at the Sternbräu in Salzburg

SATURDAY – Dinner at Yuan in Salzburg (I have eaten the best Terriaky chicken here, ever)

SUNDAY – Pasta Carbonara

FASHION 

I have tried cargo pants for the first time this week. The yellow pair you see in the third picture and although I think the way I styled them was pretty cool I do not think that this is a trend I want to embrace. I am really not a huge fan of pants and only have a few pair of jeans I like.

Dresses and skirts – yes, please but these kinds of pants. Not sure, what do you guys think ?

ACTIVITIES 

We initially gifted my MIL a weekend in Salzburg. An all-inclusive fully planned  weekend with tickets for sightseeing, activites and vouchers for dinner, but we had the idea to surprise her there since it was her 60th birthday in February. So we all packed and went to Salzburg in Austria the same day she did and hid somewhere around the city where she wouldn´t see us by mistake. We all met up for dinner and it was the biggest surprise cause she really didn´t expect a thing. She teared up multiple times and was so happy with us all there. We also had a blast exploring the city and its surrounding but more about Salzburg in a separate travel post.

MISC

It was finally time to put up some Easter decor. I didn´t want to set it up earlier cause I was planning and prepping Emilia´s birthday party, so here we are. Although the decor colors are very subtle (I wanted them to match our entryway) I personally love it a lot. The striped Easter eggs are my favorite as well as the velvet bunnier and the feather filled eggs.

It was birthday week of my first born girl. The one that made me a mother and I am very proud of my little one. She has turned five years. Five!!! I just can´t wrap my head around the fact that she has been with us the last five years. I still remember it as if it was yesterday.

MEALS

MONDAY – Tomatoe Soup

TUESDAY – Chicken and salad

WEDNESDAY – Cheeseburger and sweet potatoe fries homemade

THURSDAY – leftovers

FRIDAY – Spaghetti and meatballs

SATURDAY – Salad with chicken breast

SUNDAY – Schnitzel and tater tots

FASHION 

I have picked up my love for all of my dresses after I have rearranged my closet and now I have about 20 in line I can´t wait to wear for Spring time.

ACTIVITIES

This week was all about my daughter´s 5th birthday party. We celebrated for 3 days. Her actual birthday has been on Thurday and we made a day trip as a family of 5. On Friday she had invited some of her Kindergarten friends over and we celebrated her again and yesterday all of our relatives have been her and we enjoyed a out of the world tasty fairy cake. 

MISC 

We had to run to the ER on Friday night cause one of my little ones had trouble breathing. It wasn´t the first time and probably won´t be the last

This has been a very strange week filled with great days and amazing weather as well with lots of rain and very bad news. At the moment we have two relatives at the hospital and this means endless phone calls, visits and so much more no one wants to do. But we made the best of it and still had a nice weekend. 

Meals

MONDAY – Pasta Bolognese

TUESDAY – Left overs

WEDNESDAY – Ribs and potatoes – oven baked.

THURSDAY – Chinese Take-Out

FRIDAY – Date Night

SATURDAY – Meat filled noodles with scrabled eggs and bacon

SUNDAY – Chicken Parmesan

Fashion 

Activities 

We visited a nearby old castle yesterday. It was such a cute thing to see the girls wander around and explore and find new and interesting things. They had the whole knight and castle thing at the Kindergarten for weeks so we wanted to show our big girl how a castle really looked back in the olden days. 

Misc

On Friday we had time to promptly squeeze in a date night. I had some stuff in the city and afterwards we went to the Beach House – a californian cuisine restaurant. I had a chicken ceasar’s salad like always and it was so tasty.

We have been huge fans of the prime show The Wheel of Time and started watching it again after season 3 recently came out. There was almost nothing we remembered so it was a dire need.

This last week has been spring break over here and I am so glad the weather played out fine. We packed so many fun things into one week so our little ones would ´t get bored. It worked out fine but was very time consuming at stressful at times.

Spring sunsets are unreal.

Meals

MONDAY – Potatoe casserole with bacon 

TUESDAY – Farmhouse potatoe salad

WEDNESDAY – Leftovers

THURSDAY – Butter noodles – sadly the girl´s most favorite food

FRIDAY – Pizza night – this is always a favorite at our home. The girls love to participate in making their own pizza and have so fun.

SATURDAY – Chicken nuggets and fries

SUNDAY – Brunch with my in-laws

Fashion 

I have stared a new series on my Instagram called Spring Fit where I am sharing Spring outfit ideas in the prettiest of pastell colors. I had so much fun putting these together and wearing them. So glad Spring is finally here.

Activities 

As I said in the intro we did lots of cool things this week. On Monday we went out swimming to a pool. They had a very cute kids area with a small slide and lots of other cute water things. On Tuesday we went to an indoor climbing space and the girls had a blast. They have climbed up everywhere and did really well. Afterwards we went to Mc Donald´s for fries and nuggets. What a great ending to our second vacation day. 

On Saturday we went out to a nearby parc to feed animals and check out the big playground. We went with some friends and the kids played so well together.

Misc

My favorite photo spot, a little castle nearby that has been empty for years got sold a few weeks back and they have already started renovations so I am not able to get good pictures there in the next weeks.
