| Ready, set and go | Post | January we were busy travelling and seeing family. Next to that, the vacations were slower to keep the right balance. One of those calmer moments is shown in the first image. First day of the new Year and we just made walk in family. <img class="docimage" src="images/Januar_1.jpg" alt="Walk on first... |
| Highlights End of last Year | Post | November and December are usually quite busy months for us. A detail on a long-awaited trip is shown here, how the snow started in the morning and announced the beginning of a wonderful day. Snow... |
| Wind of change | Post | September was getting quickly busy with school and routine of the weeks. In the middle of that, when you least expect it, a kid can do art just with toys, some chestnuts freshly picked et voilà! When the little... |
| Travelling is fun | Post | July was rather relaxing as we planned a lot of travelling for August this year. We met family and for that we booked a so called IFA in a beautiful area in the beginning of vacation time. This is what is highlighted in the first image. <img class="docimage" src="images/08-Vaca-start.jpg" alt="Main... |
| Busy times | Post | To sum up May and June 2024 is not an easy task. So many things happened in two months only. First of may, we got the keys to the new flat, a lot of things needed to be prepared and before we arrived, the kitchen was build up. This is... |
| Getting started | Post | Making decisions what really is needed and where we can instead save money is a relatively new concept to us. So for the easter holidays and to celebrate the belated birthday of my mom was a good occasion for us to visit my hometown. <img class="docimage" src="images/IMG_20240401_061928.jpg" alt="View from the... |
| Welcoming Changes in 2024 | Post | As stated on the start page, I learned a lot last year what I need to stay calm. This year is all about making smaller or bigger changes to stay calm more often. I can at the moment not say what I will do every month, I started new... |
| Highlights and Recap of 2023 | Post | November is usually the highlight of the year for my better half and me. That is why the picture is from the small vacations around our 10 year wedding anniversary. Autumn leaves are visible, the view was taken from the café in the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar. <img class="docimage" src="images/November_23_2.jpg"... |
| Being thankful and in the moment | Post | September was a bit slower in activities so I had time for reading and thinking. Thankfulness is a big thing for a while now and I always wonder if we respect ourself completely if we focus on one specific part to make us happier. The idea is in the end,... |
| Travelling and adventures | Post | I wished for more travelling and adventures and that is exactly what we did the last two months. Mid July I booked an Adventure camp at a lake with sleeping in a tent over the weekend. On the first evening, bread on a stick was prepared and a walk in... |
| Patience is a virtue | Post | This time, I will give some insight into patience. Something I am not an expert at all. First, I managed to engage into school activities and go with the kids to an adventure playground. Nobody was lost and nobody got seriously hurt, which I consider a success. But see for... |
| New horizons | Post | March had quite some first times for us as family, the little one went to a child play in the theater. It was crowded, very well adapted for kids and really fun. Before that, we went to a restaurant and a museum in the area. It seems we can do... |
| Advances into stoicism | Post | If I cannot change the world around me, I might become better in the way I react to it. This is one thing I want to make progress on this year, it took me a while to figure out what and how I could achieve that. As usually, a new... |
| Less is More in December | Post | I have to be honest with you, this might have been the trickiest goals of all, doing less in the season before Christmas. I really tried fitting most of it in November, not all can be done that much in advance. We had circumstances that made us slow down, the... |
| More of Everything in November | Post | What sounded like a really good idea in the first place got us pretty exhausted at the end of the month. We do have wedding anniversary and my birthday in november so normally there is already quite a lot going on. This year, it was a significant birthday that somehow... |
| More Self-made Food in October | Post | This challenge we did together as a family. Food is important to all of us, each one approached the challenge from a different angle. First, we got a new grill. That way, finally we did more things on the grill and used this one even yesterday. That is more just... |
| More Exercising in September | Post | Where to start? We have a long way to convince everyone at home that frequent exercising is useful. We started the month looking at Basketball EM and playing at the same time. That was fun. Playing while others play. We... |
| More Mindfulness in August | Post | Mindfulness has been a project of mine for quite a while already. I thought it would be easy to integrate and advance on this during holidays. Although that was the case, you can always do more. I did not practise a lot of meditations that take longer. I advanced for... |
| More Art Projects in July | Post | This one was tricky. I do love art, art déco and the modern way of painting, my expectations are quite high and I just had the feeling it would not be good enough. However, the process of doing art does not necessarily mean a great result, the process of doing... |
| Spend More Time Outside in June | Post | After a very warm May, June is even warmer. Summer is coming very early this year. With this kind of weather, we preferred spending time outside close to the water. Areas close to rivers are fresh and nice to be... |
| More Plant Projects in May | Post | This is the first post in this whole new project of mine to do blog posts. This month, the challenge was to do more plant projects. I continued with wild strawberry, thyme, lemon balm and onion from a Primoza calendar inside the flat and on the balcony. <img class="docimage" src="images/IMG_20220529_072815.jpg"... |
