Weekly Review #5…

This has been the worst week of the whole year. We all got the flu one after another (except our littlest baby) and let me tell you I have never been so sick so quick. In the matter of an hour I went down for about two days of only sleeping and feeling the worst. All I did was sleep and nure my baby but that was it. So glad my husband was already on the mend and could look after the children.

I am quite sure we got this from the Kindergarten cause there are all kinds of different viruses spreading at the moment. This is always such a indecisive time for me. Do I leave her at home cause of all the germs and sickness going round and she misses fun and playtime with her friends or do I send her there and we will eventually all get sick. There may be no right or wrong I guess.

Meals

MONDAY – I have made chicken noodle soup cause the girls and my husband have been sick the last couple of days and a homemade chicken broth always helps.

TUESDAY – We had been pretty busy with looking after our sick kids and maintaining a somewhat clean house so we got take-out: turkey legs and potatoe salad.

WEDNESDAY – Leftovers it was.

THURSDAY – My husband finally started to feel normal again so I made cevapici and potatoes. I love oven cooked potatoes. If it was my decision I would only cook potatoes this way. Sliced very thin so they will get very crispy and only spiced with salt and pepper and some olive oil

FRIDAY – Rice pudding always makes me feel better when I am sick and since this was my worst day I made us some rice pudding. Usually it is made with raisins but I hate these so much so we eat it plain with some cinnamon or applesauce.

SATURDAY – Beef stew with potatoes is my other comfort food. Everything is great – the texture, the taste and it is very easy to make. Just add some minced meat and potatoes, tomatoe sauce and all the spices you like. Put it into the slow cooker on low for 4 hours and then get ready to eat. Delicious.

SUNDAY – Lots of leftovers cause we didn´t eat much the whole week and had lots of different food sitting in our fridge.

Fashion

It hasn´t been the most fashion active week but before I went down and slept all the time I had quite the fashionable moments.

Activities

We went on a few walks to get some fresh air but other than that our whole week was spent on the sofa. At the end of the week the girls felt way better so they played lots of Barbie and Playmobil together. 

Misc

I have noticed that the first plants are starting to bloom. Spring is not my favorite season but I am definitely impatiently awaiting warmer temperatures and sunshine.

Chocolate Brown Trendy Outfit…

Chocolate brown has been the biggest color trend and one I find beyond yummy. This outift was so trendy I have loved wearing it. Having an outfit I genuinely love gives me such a huge mood boost you wouldn´t believe it. 

The tulle skirt is an oldie but goodie in my closet I have had for years. A white shirt is the perfect staple piece for every wardrobe to wear with pants or skirts or over dresses. 

A knitted sweater vest has been all the rage for over the last 12 months. I finally had a chance to wear mine and it looked so great over a white shirt with a skirt.

Sherpa Vest…

As far as fashion trends go for me I have found all the fun and versatility in my vests. Have never worn my vests this often as I did in the latest Fall and Winter season. This sherpa vest I am sharing here is a real gem of  a vest. I got it at NKD for a great price. 

The taupe and black color pairing makes it super chic and the sherpa lining is there for the trendiness and well as the warmth. I mean 

I paired it with a simple black dress to set the focus on the vest but I am sure a cute shirt and a pair of jeans would also look amazing. Probably going to try this as soon as possible cause as I write it out loud I can´t wait to style this vest again. 

Another topic I wanted to talk about are colored tights. I have a few colored tights cause I often think it looks very strange but it doesn´t, does it? I mean I love my red tights cause they are just such a bold statement piece and red is also super trendy that I forget about all the other colors. This knitted taupe version was really pretty and easy to style. It may add some pounds cause of the color and dimension but this could also just be me you know. Let me know what you think of colored tights.

Weekly Review #4…

….

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

We will be in the home stretch of January next week and to be honest I can not wait to start the next month. Hoping for warmer temperatures here, for more things to do and see. The first month of the year is always such a long and boring month. Everyone is resetting for the new year ahead, making plans or just resting, also the weather is the worst of all months. 

 

Meals

MONDAY – Snacks

TUESDAY – Marinated chicken, rice and zatziki. I always love a take on a greek dish for dinner. 

WEDNESDAY – Leftovers cause we still had so much different foods in the fridge.

THURSDAY – A casserole is always and easy evening dish. I love to throw everything that´s left in and pop it into the oven. This was a ham and noodle casserole.

FRIDAY – Beef stew and bread dumplings. One of my favorite German dishes. Beef stew with gravy made from scratch and dumplings made of old bread flavored with parsley, salt and pepper.

SATURDAY – We have a great Indian restaurant and I just love the Chicken Tikka Masalla. It is so tasty and flavourful. 

SUNDAY – Spaghetti Bolognese – an all time family favorite.

Fashion

This week has been dominated by blues and animal print. Sounds boring but doesn´t look so.

 

Activities 

We went to the dentist on Thursday. The two big girls did great. Opening their mouths as told and holding each others hand taking turns on the dentist chair. It was the sweetest thing to watch as they cheered each other up for their turn.

I also headed to Ikea to pick up my online order. I got a few things for our baptism in April and also for the playroom to organize and sort out some stuff. Never leaving without the classic hot dog and a soft cinnamon bun.

 

Misc

The weather has been pretty nice over the weekend so we went on a few short walks with our sick kids. Both of the big girls have the flu and my mama heart hurts so much when they are sick. Hopefully we´ll be on the mend in a few days.

I have also started painting on of our living room cabinets cause the white color has turned into a very dirty white almost yellow. I have picked out a dark misty green with a chalk finish. Love it so far and going to share my reel about it next week. But it definitely took much longer than I anticipated.
