this post was a long ovedue one but now I finally have time to write a blog post about it. We are ENGAGED. I am so so so happy.
To say I didn´t see it coming wouldn´t be true cause we talked about it a lot but I was not quite sure about the where and when and of course I had no idea how the ring would look like. He knew that I prefer a classic shape but rest was up to him.
On Christmas Eve Florian finally pulled the trigger. We had champagne and he gave the ring before the other presents to me (wasn´t quite interested in them afterwards but now I love them), he also said a few words but I want to keep them private.
So now I am in full wedding planing mode. We already have set a date for the middle of September this year. I also have found a location we both like this week.
I am planing on sharing the progress for the wedding on the blog and I couldn´t be more excited. I hope you all also looking forward to read my wedding planing post since this is going to be an exciting time.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care and have a nice weekend.
I hope you are all had a nice New Years Eve and while you might sleep in late I am already awake rounding up the last (is it possible to already say the “last” year?!) year.
There where so many great things we did and experienced. So I am rounding up the whole year month by month for you and also for me so I get reminded of all the great things that happened.
my pajama bonprix, last years pajama here/ Florians pajama bonprix sold out similar here / Chloe´s pullover zooplus sold out unfortunately similar here
the Christmas vibes are still going strong over here. From all of the Christmas tradtitions adding a super cute and comfortable pajama became our favorite.
Somehow it makes the waiting for Christmas more bearable. Watching Christmas movies in your Christmas pj´s seems so cozy and festive at once.
These where our second pair (bought our frist ones last year) and overall I wanted matching ones but we couldn´t get to an agreement so I got the plaid pants with a matching longsleeve for Florian and the two piece set with little reindeers and hearts on for myself. I also found a supersoft Christmas pullover for Chloe. Isn´t the little stitched snowflake the cutest?!
If you try to start on a new tradtition this one might be one of the easiest and one which brings lots of joy. Another one would be watching your favorite movies together or buying a new ornament every year so you have quite the collection after a few years.
What are your family or friends tradtitions ? Do you have any? I would love to hear. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

I know that Christmas time puts a lot of pressure on each and every one of us. There is the decoration we have to set up, gifts we need to find, there are family or holiday parties to host and menues to plan and don´t forget to send out the Christmas cards in time!!
Thinking of all these different things might be overwhelming at first but you have to tackle it piece by piece and for the time in between I have 4 tips/activites to lower your stress levels and give you the possibilitiy to really enjoy the most wonderful time of the year.
#1
Grab a cup of hot cocoa, head to your sofa and turn on Netflix. They have so many Christmas movies on their channel. You will get in the festive mood believe me and it is also nice to cuddle up while it´s cold outside.
My favorites are:
A Christmas Prince
The Spirit of Christmas
The Grinch
A Christmas Kiss
Merry Kissmas
The Nightmare before Christmas
Miracle on 34th Street

Be sure to create your own and unique Christmas playslist. Listening to your favorite Christmas songs whenever you like really is a nice change to the normal radio (in my opinion they chat to much and always play the same songs). You can listen to your playlist while driving in the car, wrapping presents or cooking and cleaning at home.
Be sure to check out my playlist for some inspo.

Bake the Christmas cookies YOU love the most. As a woman we always try to please others and care about others more than about ourself. That´s just how it works but sometimes there is something you have to do for your own especially in stressful times. Search the recipe you love the most and start baking and if these are some your family members or room mates don´t like – good for you, so there is even more left.
Here is my favorite recipe. They are called snowflake cookies and super delicious.

Visit Christmas markets
The Christmas markets are everywhere these days so it is nice to spend an afternoon or an evening strolling around. Having some punch and some delicious food. Maybe you can find a last minute gift at the booths with all the pretty handmade things like wooden figurines or handcolored candles.
It is good to unwind before the big day hits.
We are going to visit a Christmas market on Sunday and I am also going to bake my favorite Christmas cookies tomorrow listening to my Christmas playlist.
Do you have any other tips to lay back before the stressful three days of Christmas?
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
