Happy Sunday you guys,

since Thanksgiving is over most of the people I know are in full Christmas decoration mood and have been working all weekend to get that magical feel into the house (and to be honest this year needs it more than ever).

I for myself decided to go along with my crafty side and to decorate some wreaths for my mom and myself (and I really really suck at anything handmade or crafty, I used to glue myself to the table as a kid – by accident). So you can believe me when I say that this DIY is super easy.

The wreaths are from our local drug store as well as the cute little ornaments, pine cones, snowflakes and apples but at this time of the year you can get them literally everywhere.

Starting with the first theme. I wanted it to include as much red as possible and it somehow turned out as a sweet apple and candy cane wreath. The first thing I did was plug in the hot glue pistol and then lay out all the pieces I wanted to put on the wreath. It is much easier to lay it out before. That is my only tip, but the most important. You can make sure you don´t have to much or to less on your wreath and it doesn´t look akward.

The second wreath is a winter wood theme with lots of pine cones and snowflakes. I also added a few little golden ornaments. 

A decorated wreath would make a great hostess gift or just a little thoughfulness for a loved person.

are you already shopping for your Christmas gifts ? I am half way through and happy about what I got so far. It is one of the biggest sales day of the year today but to be honest I haven´t ordered anything. I was organizing and cleaning the whole day because we have got our new sofa.

I have created sales guides the last few years but to be honest it is a lot of work to do so and having a baby at home isn´t giving you more time but I wanted to share one great deal with you.

Ordering new Christmas pj´s every year has become a tradtition in our house and to be honest I find the cutest ones at PatPat plus they always offer parents and kids sizes and sometimes even pieces for dogs.

We went with the burgundy and reindeer option for this years Christmas pj´s and to be honest I love them. The plaid is really pretty and a nice change since we had stripes and string lights the last few years.

This really gets me in the Christmas spirit and I definitely need a ton of it this year. Make sure to check back next week for a ton of Christmas related posts.

Hello you guys and happy Thanksgiving,

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

hopefully you are having a great day today filled with delicious food and awesome people. Since it is a normal day over here it was business as usual today. We took a ton of Christmas pictures for different posts today. I am really happy it worked out so well cause shooting with a baby can turn awful really fast. 

Anyways let´s talk about black jeans. To be honest I have never been a huge fan of black denim and am still not but it is a closet staple. I own about 4 pairs of black denim and wear them on ocassion but I will always turn back to blue denim or white in the Summer.

For the look I combined lots of comfortable knits and a cute turtleneck with the black ripped jeans.

Good day to all of my lovely readers,

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

I am finally coming around of sharing the details of Emilia´s baptism two weeks ago. This was such an emotinal and exciting day (rather for me than for her) and so nice to spend it with family although there were still some restrictions due to stupid Covid.

Church hasn´t been a problem since we only were a small group of people but for our at home celebration we sadly had to reduce so only our parents and the godparent of Emilia have attended. All of the others got a big slice of cake to-go. We decided whether to change the date or not but I wanted to finally „get over with it“ cause we alreay had the candle and the cake ordered and her clothes would not fit in a few months.

Hopefully there won´t be many restrictions around her first birthday so we can have a big celebration.

Anyways let´s talk about the cake table I set up. I loved loved loved how it turned out. I definitely wanted to do something special for her blessing and I think the table turned out great.

First of all I started with the sequin blankets I also used for the gift table and candy bar at our wedding. I got them from etsy and they are huge and heavy and made of great quality. The other highlight on the table was the fir garland. I ordered it for the whole length of the table and added tiny twinkle lights and it just looked stunning. 

The cake of course was the show stopper of the table. The cutest 2-tier cake I have seen in a while and it was really tasty too. The pink petit-fours had the symbols of the baptism candle painted on top. 

To the left and right I added candle holders, tea lights, a cute picture in a beautiful frame as well as forks, spoons, napkins and plates.

Our theme has been pink and white with lots of golden accents. I personally loved it a lot and this was so much fun I am already looking forward to plan her first birthday.
