Our weeks are still super busy and I can not believe how we manage each and every week. I am recapping our week every Sunday and I am astonished at how much we are able to get done.

We had our littlest´s baptism today (going to recap this very soon for you with all the details to the decor and stuff) and it was a great day celebrating our little love.

 

MEALS

MONDAY – Chicken Noodle Soup

TUESDAY – Sandwiches

WEDNESDAY – Ham and noodle casserole

THURSDAY – French Toast cause why not!!! I wanted to shot the recipe that day and made a huge batch of french toast in the afternoon so of course we had it for dinner. Also somedays we love to have breakfast for dinner.

FRIDAY – Left overs

SATURDAY – Chinese Take-Out

SUNDAY – lots of cake

 

FASHION

It is finally warm enough to wear dresses round the clock. I have so many I love and it has been hard for me to decide which one to wear but those are champagne problems right?!

ACTIVITIES

We have been outside so much the last week cause it was finally dry and warm and why not make some chalk art. I love how creative my little girls are and how they love to draw.

MISC

I have started the week with a doughnut run because why not !! And it turned out to be the right thing cause it has been a very long week. Our garden flowers started to bloom in their fullest and it is so beautiful. Spring makes the prettiest colors.

We celebrated Easter a little early in our mom group and I made an easy no crust cheesecake topped with pistachios and strawberries. It was delicous and everyone loved it. Going to share the recipe soon.

We are now at the stage where the girls request their own birthday party themes and this years first party of the year is a fairy garden party. I couldn´t love the whimsical theme anymore. It was so much fun putting this together and it may be my best work yet, but I think I say this every time 😉

 

 

 

Fairy Garden Birthday Party Decor

How gorgeous has been the party decor. The wisteria hanging down from the back of the buffet. The embroidered flowers and fairies everywhere. The greens and glittery pinks and of course lots of greenery to match the fairy garden theme. 

 

Table decor is my strong suit and I have loved the dinner table decor this time. I have put the forest green table cloth underneath and then I have draped the flower table runner on top. Adding the vases with cute little flowers complemented my table center piece. I have also used my great aunts tableware cause it fit the whimsical flower theme so good.

Fairy Garden Birthday Party Activites 

We had 7 kids over, all at the age between four and six and they definitely wanted to be entertained. I have had several activities planned and all have been accepted very well.

We had fairy wands to paint and embellish and also little fairy doors, butterflies and fairies. Another thing this kids love is a good´ol treasure hunt in the sandbox. I hid tons of glass marbles and other little treasures and they had a blast to search them in the sand. Got cute little wooden treasure chests for them to collect all of their finds.

Fairy Garden Birthday Party Snacks and Drinks

We had the kids birthday party on Friday where all the children have been invited to celebrate our big girl and we had the second birthday party on Sunday were all the relatives came over.

I have made different things for both days.

 

Kid´s birthday party:

 – muffins with white chocolate and sprinkles

 – pink and green doughnuts

 – E cookies with sprinkles and chocolate

 – Pasta with meat sauce for dinner

 – Sparkling water and fairy water (pink lemonade)

 

Adult birthday party:

 – coffee and champagne for the grown-ups

 – buttercream fairy garden cake

 

Fairy Garden Birthday Party Kids Table

I have always had a plastic table cloth matching the theme but I needed it this time for our outdoor activities table so I got two pink sequin table cloths and it made such a difference. The plates and and napkins have all been fairy themed as well and the paper cups were left from another birthday party so I have reused those. 

 

Fairy Garden Birthday Party Favors

Always a favorite task of mine to put together party favors. I have found so many cute things I added to the goodie bags.

– fairy themed paper bag

 – colorful bead bracelets

 – fairy dust

 – fairy stickers 

 – fairy wand

 – flower crown

 – glitter bouncy ball

 – fairy tattoos

I also had white glitter fairy wings for the girls.

For the boys gift bags I got

 – dragon eggs with a little dragon figurine inside

 – „Peter Pan hats

 – stickers, blue and green fairy dust

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.
