Another week has come and gone I haven´t been as confused as I was this week for a very long time. I almost forgot a pediatrician appointment and thought it was the last week of swimming lessons but boy was I wrong.
MEALS
MONDAY–Lasagna
TUESDAY–Oven baked potatoes and steak
WEDNESDAY– Greek Style Noodle Salad
THURSDAY– Chinese Take-Out IYKYK
FRIDAY –Leftovers

SUNDAY– Homemade Pizza at our friend´s house
FASHION
One of my best weeks yet. Outift wise.
Sales are still going strong so if you want to get something nice for the remaining Summer or an upcoming vacation heavily discounted I would suggest to go and get it while there are still many sizes available.
ACTIVITIES
There is still one week of swimming lessons left and then we are done and our big girl can finally swim. I am very proud of her, she has done so well and loves to practice now at every chance she gets.
Not much to report here cause there are so many end-of-year things the next two weeks.
MISC
Our middle girl got vaccinated this week and she was such a brave girl. Took it like a champ and only cried for a minute after. This was the best reason to go and get some delicious ice-cream with her. She took lemon and loved every bit of it.
My big girl also had an appearance on Saturday with her dancing group. They did so great. I am always amazed how they aren´t afraid in front of so many people.
Today we have been invited to our family friends house for homemade pizza. They have a pizza oven and make the most delicous pizzas I have ever tasted. Does not go well with my current training to loose weight (I am down 8 kg and have 10 kg to go) but sometimes you have to treat yourselves am I right ?!
This is always a fun task for me. I love putting together gifts for others and in my opinion I had a pretty good and easy implementable idea for this years Kindergarten teacher gift.
First of all I like to admit that I love to gift things you can use up and throw away the packaging. I know that stuff can pile up pretty fast but if you get lots of consumable things you hit the jackpot.
Kindergarten Teacher Gift Idea
I went with water tumbler this year. Mine are from NKD and pretty good for the very affordable price of 10 Euro each. Then I filled it with wood wool so the little things wouldn´t slide to the bottom. I have bought hand lotion, lip balm, a protein bar and a pen and paper set. These are all things you can use up and don´t have sitting in your home. Also I think this is a great range of products for a Kindergarten teacher no matter the age or interests.
Other gift ideas:
– a small basket with a DIY kit like a taco kit or a hot chocolate kit
– if it is allowed a gift card or restaurant voucher (you can never go wrong with this)
– category kit like a notebook, post-its, pens, paper clips or a snack kit with cooler bag, a tumbler and a snack box
Do you have other gift ideas you love ? Let me know, I would love to share it on here too.
If I had to describe my dream vacation outfit this probably would be it. A colorful fun top, a flowy and airy skirt with a cute print and dainty sandals. Even the backdrop worked it my favor here. Lush greens and palm trees.
Rothenburg is a small city in the county of Bavaria. It is a very old and medieval city and has lots of architecture to look at and things to do. It was a short drive of about 2 hours for us since we are located in the same county.
After we parked we have entered the city through the white tower. A huge light colored tower big a big arch underneath to walk through. The city has six big towers and several gates you can enter. All of the city is surrouned by a big city wall which was was used for protection in the early days. Now you can take a walk on it around the whole city which takes about 2 hours and you can buy a piece of the wall to show your support for renovations and restaurations.
When you have entered the city through one of the gates there are two things you immediately recognize – the plants / flowers and half-timbered houses. Every house has beautiful flowers planted in front or ivy climbing up the house. This looks very pretty and maintained and is a real eyecatcher.
What to do in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
So now this is what we did in the exact order…
– Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Museum and Shop
If you love Christmas this is THE store for you. It is open the whole year and plays Christmas music all day long. They sell the prettiest special ornaments but also souvenirs from the city of Rothenburg. No matter the color or theme for your tree. You will find it here. The store has several huge decorated trees and little decorated houses. But I might add, the ornaments are quite pricey. The entrance is free though.
– Dungeons under City Hall
On the back of the city hall is a small passage and you can enter here and get into the tiniest museum you´ve might ever seen. It is an exhibition about the story of the city and how it has evolved through the years and at the end of it you can enter the staircase to get down to the city hall dungeons. These cells have been used to keep prisoners until they have been executed. There didn´t exist long term fines back then.
There is also a tower on the city hall you can go up and have a look at the city from above but for some reason it was closed this day. I would definitely do this if you are there and it is open to go up.
– Hearty Lunch at Restaurant „Goldenes Lamm“
– Wandered down the main shopping street
You can find lots of restaurants, coffee shops and stores here. Also the criminal museum is down this street and many more beautiful half-timbered houses.
– Photo stop at the Plönlein – the most famous house in Rothenburg
This was such a cute stop. You can only take a look at it from outside and stop for a quick picture but it is the cutest little house right in the middle of the street I ever did see. I was waiting for some fairy tale creatures to come out every second but there lives a very normal person.
– Visited the Medival Crime Museum
This was very interesting and took a lot of time to get through. You can learn about everything from the witch trials to any kind of torture instrument you could possibly find and also fines they have used a few hundred years ago. You can get your tickets here.
– Had a coffee and „Schneeballen“ at the Zuckerbäckerei
This was a very delicious treat we got for ourselves in the afternoon. The „Schneeballen“ is the well known treat of the city. It is made from shortcrust pastry, filled with nougat or jam and glazed with chocolate. Mine was strawberry and exceptional good but it is big and hard to find a place for that first bite.
– Took a stroll on the city wall back to our parking spot
This was our last stop before we headed back home. You can enter the city wall on several spots through a long and tight staircase and go around all of the city. The whole walk takes about 2,5 hours but you don´t have to do the full round.
