Happy Hump Day ladies,

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

Christmas festivities are right around the corner and in today´s post I wanted to share this quick and easy but good looking mocktail with you. I made it a mocktail cause this way everyone can have a sip but you could easily add some champagne or vodka if you like.

So for the ingredients this is what I used:

– cranberry juice

– grapefruit juice

– sparkling water

– pomegranate seeds

– crushed ice

– alkohol if needed

All I did was mix the two juices and the water in equal parts and put crushed ice into the glasses. Then I poured in the mixture and added pomegranate seeds on top. Et voilá it looks super cute. You could also add some greenery like rosemary if desired.

After editing the photos I thought this would also be a great gift for a hostess. Take the tray and the glasses with the golden rim and add the juices plus a bottle of champagne to it and a fresh pomegranate and rosemary stems. Wrap it in clear wrapping foil and you have another great gift.

Good evening guys,

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

it is that time of the year again when it get´s dark early and cold and we snuggle up on the sofa with a nice cup of hot chocolate, lighting a Fall candle and watch a movie or show. In our house it mostly is Fall or Halloween based until the first of November when we switch to Christmas.

I have shared all the Halloween movies we watched last year and this year I am sharing an ultimate guide (I only researched and watched trailer – not everything I am sharing) of all the movies / shows I have found. They tend to be real spooky and not like your everyday show and some I can not watch but I think they could be kind of cool if you have the nerves to push through.

Spooky Movies

– Edward Scissorhands

– Practical Magic

– Beetlejuice

– Jack the Ripper

– Scary Movie

– Saw

– Resident Evil

– Scream

– Hubie Halloween

– Constantine

– Hocus Pocus

– Sleepy Hollow

– The Adams Family

– The Birds

Scary Shows

– Vampire Diary

– True Blood

– American Horror Story

– Hemlock Grove

– Lucifer

– Supernatural

– The Originals

– Dracula

– Walking Dead

– Sabrina

– Ratched

– The Stranger Things

Children Movies

– Monster House

– Night Books

– Hotel Transilvania

– Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Halloween Edition

– Frankenweenie

– Coraline

– Halloweentown

– Good Witch

So for the picture – Gilmore Girls give me major Fall vibes everytime I watch it. They have so many great Fall episodes I rewatch each year.

Happy Friday you guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate LInks-not spnsored)

what is your favorite room in your home ? I think mine might be the kitchen (or the living room). I love to cook and try out new recipes also hosting is a great pleasure of mine. It is where the family comes together waiting for a homecooked meal to be ready.

I have prepared dozens of meals for different festivities and holidays in our kitchen. Hopefully there will be more opportunities this year. It hasn´t been have the fun since Covid.

Our kitchen has a little coffee corner which is the first stop in the mornings. I make some coffee for myself and prepare Emilia´s tea.

We have a large window sill behind the sink and of course like every free corner of my home it is decorated as well. The color theme of the kitchen is black, white, gray and red and I love it. First I had green decor cause that´s what I took from my old appartment with me but I was never happy with it.

Next is the sink and then come all the kitchen appliances we have. A microwave is a must around here cause there are always plenty of leftovers. We do have the Soda Stream for fresh sparkling water cause I really love it sparkly and that is the fastest and easiest way. I do have a lot more of appliances but they are stored away in the cabinets to prevent clutter.

Next is a cute plant pot where I store all of my kitchen utensils like laddles and all the items I need on a daily base and then comes a very interesting tray with our favorite red wines. Currently it is the Carnivor, a Cabernet Sauvignon we really love.

To the right side is a small shelf where I store all of my cookbooks and other items I need to host dinners like cake stands and carafes.

The bar are has been used very frequently buy my husband and I but since Emilia is here we eat all of our meals in the living room together.

I can not believe I am finally sharing our updated kitchen decor after about 4 !!! years. I really don´t know why I didn´t came around earlier but it just wasn´t something I thought about.

You can view pictures of how our kitchen looked right after we moved in this post.

Mother ´ s Day Table Setting + Gift Ideas…

Happy Friday you guys,

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

Mother´s Day isn´t far away so I wanted to share this cute table setting with you today. You can invite all of your mom friends a day early and celebrate motherhood or you invite your mom and grandma to celebrate this special day with them.

It will be my second Mother´s Day this year and as rewarding it is to be a mom it definitely is as hard. The constant looking our for your little one that they are safe and have everything they need is intense at times but to be honest I always wanted to be mom and I wouldn´t have it any other way.

The pandemic hasn´t made it easy to find other mom´s with babies so I am glad two of my friends also became moms last year.

So for the table setting I choose an all pink and gold color theme mixed in with lace and gorgeous flowers. Overall it is a very feminine and romantic vibe. I just love how it turned out.

The little cakes are from a local bakery and husband couldn´t wait for the shot to be over so he could have one with his coffee.

Celebrating this day never had more meaning to me than today and I am so happy to be Emilia´s mom.

Since we are all someone´s daughter I am linking a few things I think would make great gifts for your mom on Mother´s Day.
