As far as fashion goes I have been a little lost but I have decided to do a 14 day old Spring Fit series.

Activities 

It was carvinal week and we headed out for the festivites on Thursday. We went as 3 witches and a little black cat. It was so adorable I just couldn´t get over how cute the girls looked. 

Misc

We got a new suit for my husband in a very chic sage green hue. It looks so pretty. I also got Easter dresses for the girls as well. Yellow tulle and bunnies. So so cute!!

The temperatures have picked up so I had my first iced coffee this week and it tasted so good.

Meals

MONDAY – Leftovers

TUESDAY – Chicken broth with little semolina dumplings. 

WEDNESDAY – Chicken and broccoli

THURSDAY – Chinese noodles and and steamed vegetables

FRIDAY – Club Sandwiches

Fashion 

I wanted to wear lots of Spring colors by now but somehow I can not give up the neutrals.

Activities 

Misc

The Kindergarten has a knight and castle theme through the month of February and it has been the cutest. The kids get so excited and antsy to help decorate. I mean look a t that door with a chandelier and all. How cool!!

This week has been all about food. We have been out to eat three times a week which is a lot cause I usually cook 6 days a week minus the one take-out day we have. To be honest I really enjoyed eating out cause I did not have to cook and clean up but food has gotten pretty expensive. Most of the meals are 15 Euros or over. Sometimes it is just not worth it.

Nevertheless it was Valentine´s week and I very much enjoyed all the heart things. Sweaters and onesies, love baskets and crunch. I posted my last Valentine´s reel on Saturday. Now off we go to do some carnival baking next week and maybe I am also sharing my costume next week – little hint on the side : it´ll get scary!! Tights have been the last missing piece for the look which I have ordered straight from amazon so they should make it in time. You can look at the tights here.

Meals

MONDAY – Beet root soup. I wanted to love this recipe so much cause I also recorded it for Instagram but it just wasn´t it. It as ok but my husband didn´t like it at all and I thought it would be a little tastier. Still ate it but not gonna make it again.

TUESDAY – Take-out pizza. We had dinner at my MIL´s house and they ordered pizza for everyone.

WEDNESDAY – Omelette with onions and cheddar cheese and pepperoni. My husband had a work dinner so I only made a quick girl dinner for myself. An omelette is always a great way to cook leftovers and it is a quick and easy meal option as well.

THURSDAY – Leftovers

FRIDAY – Fish and potatoes.

SATURDAY – Date night at Ontra. We got a coupon for Christmas and cashed it in for date night. Ate some great meat and had a delicious dessert.

SUNDAY – Roast and dumplings. We went out for my MIL´s birthday with the extended family and I had a roast with some dumplings. One of my favorite typical bavarian dishes.

A friend and I tried a new restaurant for breakfast this week and it was delicious. They had several different coffee concoctions, fruity juices and the most delicious breakfast I have had in a while. It is called basecoffee and located in Regensburg.

Fashion 

Still doing #nospendfebruary so I am rewearing all of my old beloved pieces and also we are still in the deepth of Winter and all that I can change are the colors and keep the warm pieces. Next week I am going to start a color challenge. Haven´t done one in a long time and it was so much fun.

Activities 

The girls dance classes started again and I was so happy cause on these cold Winter days there aren´t lots of things to do to keep them occupied. We also regularly go to our play group and it is always so much fun (mostly for the adults to enjoy their coffee hot but hey why not?!)). We had a dedicated morning were we went to see my grandma but since she is in a nursing home now we are visiting my great-aunt, a sister of hers.

Misc

It was my MIL´s 60th birthday last week and we have been invited over for coffee and cake Tuesday afternoon. She always has super cute table decor. Most pieces are from Pip Studio.

On Friday our big girl went on a play date at a trampoline parc with her friend. It was the frist time she has been out with friends. She gets so big and independent I can´t believe it.

We also started to watch Ghosts on Netflix and it is hillarious. I just love Thorfinn. For me it is the best character on the show.

Another week with sick toddlers has come and gone and to be honest I can not take another sickness in the next few weeks. This has to stop. There is also so much else going on these days that I just can not take any delays to our schedule.

On the bright side Valentine´s Day is just around the corner and I have finished the girls love baskets. This might be my favorite year with all the cute pink things I put into the baskets. You can watch my reel here and find out what I got them. The shops in Germany have a much bigger selection nowadays than a few years back. You almost couldn´t find a thing for Valentine´s. It was really hard. 

Meals

MONDAY – German schnitzel and oven roasted potatoes

TUESDAY – can not remember at all

WEDNESDAY – Chinese take-out  – Thai curry with chicken is my preferred meal. I love the sticky rice, the crispy chicken and the spicy sauce.

THURSDAY – Leftovers

FRIDAY – Omelett is one of our go-tos when it comes to cook all the leftover ingredients from the fridge. It is just so easy to chop up all the foods and throw it in the pan with some eggs. 

SATURDAY – Pasta Bolognese is my number one pasta dish. I love everything about it and the girls like it too. They usually do not eat any sauce but make an exception for this. It is also easy to prepare for the next day or cook a huge batch to freeze.

SUNDAY – Homemade pizza is a favorite in our home. The girls love to help and add a topping of their liking. At least they also eat it when they have helped. 

Fashion 

Still no signs that it will be Spring any time soon. At least not temperature wise. The sun is shining and plants start to blossom but it is still freezing cold. 

Activities 

It is still to cold to do a lot of things outside or even stay out a long time but we ventured to our nearby playground on Monday cause at some point you just can´t take it anymore being cooped up in the house all weekend. After 15 minutes we went back home cause everyone was freezing. Took me about 20 minutes to get us all four out the door. I´d say you win some and you loose some.

I had my car in the shop on Tuesday so I went to a nearby shopping centre while I waited and enjoyed a hot coffee and panini in total silence. Little miss was sleeping in the stroller and I had a total half an hour to myself.

On Saturday we went to a children´s festival at our nearby hospital. It was a great opportunity to show the girls that they shouldn´t be afraid of a hospital at all and that there are many things to see and learn. They had a booth with face painting for children and my girl finally got her cat face she wanted all along. Another very cool thing I have been anxious to see were the Star Wars actors and they did not disappoint.

Misc

My grandma hasn´t left the hospital in weeks and since last week we have finally found a place in a nursing home for her so we started to clean out her appartment cause she is moving next week and can´t take anything with her other than her clothes and a handful of personal items. This really got me thinking about this kind of situation a lot and also made me really sad. You collect and add things to your home your whole life but when it comes down to the end there isn´t a thing left of you. People come and throw everything you have ever owned away and that´s it.

Yesterday my MIL turned 60 and we have a huge surprise planned for her gift. Can´t wait until she is back from vacation so we can gift it to her and see what she thinks.
