Happy Monday No. 10 – new flat edition

Happy Monday everybody!

I’m SO EXCITED but also SO! exhausted. We have spent the weekend moving into a flat on the 3rd floor without an elevator and I’m telling you it was no joke!! We were up until 2 and up again at 8. Thank God for my husband who is able to carry our entire household three stories up!!

It’s Monday and this week is off to a really new start for me. Our new flat makes me happy and I already feel really at home it’s still a big mess and until I have pictures of the finished flat here a few pictures before we moved in.

Our Entry/Hallway. Right corner: My sisters Katharina room (who will move in with us ), next to it out bedroom and next to that our office/guest bedroom. Not shown are the door to the kitchen which would be right in the left corner. Bathroom is through the kitchen. VIEW POST

Life lately – the ‘I need to be better at remembering to take pictures’ edition

Hello people.

It’s friday 🙂 🎉 It feels like alot has happened this week but looking back I did not do much or at least I did not remember to take a picture haha ups fail. 

I’m still trying to figure out this whole going to school thing. I have a hard time with the schedule as it’s not a weekly schedule but rather a 3 months one. So every week is different. Not only are the subjects I have different but also the days I have school on and starting and finish times. In order to have a little bit more rhythm I sketched out my school week on Sunday and wrote it on poster and pinned it on the wall. That way I always new exactly what was going on this week. Even though I wasn’t as much at school as I wanted to be due to headaches it still feels like a success. It just gave my life a new and better structur which makes such a difference 🙂 

Secondly we got the keys to our flat 😍 it’s officially moving time today! Even though I was initially not really excited about moving again I’m really looking forward to getting everything unpacked and organized and our new flat 😍. Which also brought alot of new perspective and light into our live this week. So good! 

Those are two things that made such a difference without having picture proof 😉 

Last weekend I met up with a friend in Cologne. We walked along the Rhein river and I had a delicious dinner afterwards.

I was pretty cranky a few nights this week. I don’t know what it was.

One evening I made the best of it and went with a girl we share a flat to this American Diner.  

It was typical American in every way. The menu had all the typical food on it from snacks to desert (hello milkshake), the homemade ice tea was really sweet and the portions big haha But we had a good time and it did good to my soul to have an american/canadian supper 🙂 

I don’t know what happened but the next evening was even worse. This time Albrecht made the best of it and cooked me dinner haha.  Thank God for him! 

Yummy pasta who made everything better 🙂 thank God for a husband who cooks me dinner if I’m cranky. 

This has been my week! If you factor in going to school and packing boxes it has been a week where we got things moving.

Have a happy, happy weekend!

Love,

Madita 

Love captured: City Hall Wedding pictures!

Good Wednesday 😍

Our dear friend  Jan took our City Hall Wedding pictures a while back. Albrecht+I went to the city hall to get legally married in August (in Germany a wedding at a church takes place seperately from the legal part at the city hall) and I wanted a few pictures to capture that special time of our life. Photographs are such a special way of opening doors to wonderful memories. In a few years I will probably not marvel about what I wore that day but I will gush about that day full of love by looking at these pictures. And maybe it´s also the Canadian-side in me who is in love with family pictures lol. So one day we met up with our dear friend Jan at sunset and thanks to him we now have more than a few pictures 😉 here are my favorites…

Happy Monday No. 8 – randomness edition

Happy Monday people!

It’s a new week – off to a fresh start. On my part I hope I will manage my week a little better than the weeks before. I’ve made plans and lists and scheduled out my week in a way I hope school and headache are both equally manageable. This could either be a total win or a total disaster because plans don’t always go as planned 😉

For today a random collections of things that have recently made me very happy:

One

My new nail polish color made me very happy!! Shellac is great but the nail polish itself is quite expensive so I chose very wisely which color I want to buy. I’ve recently bought Naked Naivete and I LOVE the color.

Two

Annalena had this pretty decoration infront of their door! It’s so pretty!! Just looking at it made me happy!!VIEW POST

Life lately

Good Morning!

Last weekend started with a good old-fashioned roadtrip. To Stuttgart 🙂

I was still recovering from some stomach bug so I was all snuggled up in the back while my sister and Albrecht did the driving (I was not looking all that put together without the snapchat filter haha)VIEW POST

When life is hard…

Hello world!

I´m not going to lie the last few weeks life has been hard! And I would rather not write about and shout it into the universe for the whole world to read. But I promised myself to keep up this blog. Instead of disappearing until my world is nice and easy again I will just share my life with you – and still see the good in all the craziness.

Happy Monday No. 7 – you are loved edition!

Happy Monday!!

I spent the weekend with dearest friends and not often am I starting the new week as fulfilled as today!

My heart is so full! I wish I could share with you the joy and happiness these people bring into my life. There is nothing in this world that brings me more peace and total utter joy and fulfillment like spending time with them. It is rare that we are all in the same space at the same time but when we are, its glorious!

We spent the weekend talking about everything and anything. Oh the joy there is when you can cry and laugh together, when you can get all dressed up but you can also spent a day in your pjs. Ans oh the depth and love you feel when you can share your heart with each other!

We went for a walk and it was the best weather. Warm and sunny but looking at the trees so could see that fall is all around. SO PRETTY!

We even picked up some fresh grapes from a local guy.

My heart is full of love!! For them! And for the world – all because of them! And I feel so loved!

Hoping you have THE BEST Monday with a lot of love! 

Love, Madita

PS: Whoever is reading this I LOVE YOU!

Life Lately

I´m having some sort of flu since the beginning of the week so it has pretty much been me and my bed.

I will be back on Monday – in the meantime I will use the weekend to get well again!

Hoping you had an amazing week!

Love,

Madita

Happy birthday mama!

Good Morning and happy Monday :)! 

It’s my mamas birthday – so today is all about her! 

 Dear Mama! 

We joke that ever since I was a little girl I was trying to be a step ahead of you – sometimes successfully 😉! VIEW POST

Life Lately

Good morning 🙂 

Life lately has been full of school and if I was not at school I was either preparing for it or recovering from it. I’m not as tired as I was during the first week but I still need quite some time to clear my head and find the power to actually do something. 

Last weekend started the best possible way: a beautiful card from Annalena 😍VIEW POST
