HAPPY MONDAY NO 16 – PAPER FLOWERS

Happy Monday!!

Read about all my other Happy Mondays here

I never thought I would say this but flowers are making me extremely happy on this very Monday. A few years ago I could not have cared less for a bouquet of flowers but somehow this has changed and now its like the best suprise gift ever that I could receive.

Over the weekend 9 of us (good friends, my sister and Albrecht and I) met to prepare for our wedding in June and because I had been sick during the week two friends brought me flowers! So sweet and the best start into the weekend! And oh so fitting.

For whatever reason I thought it would be a fun and good idea to do and make paper flowers for our wedding. It pretty soon occured to me that I must have been crazy to think that this would be a good idea but let me tell you IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!

LIFE LATELY

sorry for missing Mondays post. I still haven‘t figured out how to write posts in advance that still feel current and true to whats happening in that moment and sometimes life gets in the way 😉

Life has looked a lot like this lately:

I got a nasty sinus infection Monday morning and by Tuesday night I was pretty convinced on having pneumonia AGAIN. Which scared the living daylight out of me. Luckily the doctor found out that it was just a bad sinus infection mixed with allergies. Still bad but way better 😉

Since my week literally looked like the picture above I don’t really have anything else to talk about. Albrecht got sick too. Thank God for my sister who cooked, went grocery shopping and took care of us!! 

She even made me tacos when I was craving them so good! LOVE HER!

I feel way better now than I did at the beginning of the week but am still recovering. So here is to a weekend of fueling my body and recovering! Lets hope I’m back on Monday 😉

sending you lots of love!

HAPPY MONDAY NO 15 – LITTLE HOME GYM

Happy Monday!

There is something about losing people unexpectectly, besides the grief and total unability to grasp what has happened, that makes your heart grow fonder for the people who lost someone so dear to them, it makes you think about life and love. How important it is to live a life where you do what feels right to you in every moment. And to celebrate life!!

Starting into this week with unexpected sentiments but let me tell you: my little gym at home makes me very happy!! I don‘t think I‘ve ever had a better idea 😉

LIFE LATELY

Here goes a random collection of life lately! I’m in a weird in between state – I´m fully aware that we are not on vacation anymore haha but I still don´t really know what day it is lol.

The minute we got back from our vacation I was in full organizing and cleaning mode. And for some reason Albrecht had the same urge so we ended up reorganizing our office/guest bedroom. Got rid of a few things, moved a few things around and its so much better!! We have very little space in this room (or in general if you will haha) so I feel like its very important to use the space we have wisely but also in a way that it wont feel cluttered. I´m feel like we achieved that we this room!

HAPPY MONDAY NO 14 – VACATION EDITION

Happy Monday y´all ( I wish I could speak southern english ;-)!

Our vacation is over but just thinking back it still makes me happy! We decided on this vacation in August. At that point it looked like it would be the only time this year we could take off and go somewhere and I really felt like I needed a break to relax my body and mind. I truly feel like you dont have to go on vacation and spend a ton of money in order to be relaxed and happy. And if I had known that our circumstances would be like they are right now, I probably would have stayed at home and made it really cosy and relaxed. A couple of years ago we did not want to spend money we hardly had, so we made a list with all the things we wanted to do together but never got around to when both are working. And we had the best week!

Having said that its also fun to travel, have a change of scenery and pace and the hotel in Austria was just that. It had the best food and spa and snow!! I‘m not sure if I have seen more snow in my life ( I probably have because HELLO Saskatchewan, Canada haha) but it was more snow than the last 8 years combined in Germany. So pretty!

Snow

There is something about looking out the window and everything being white and snowy! Its so pretty and it makes me instantly very happy!

REVIEW 2017 – PART TWO

And I´m back!!

Let me tell you something: I absolutely dread having things not work technical-wise with my blog. I deleted my WordPress App on my phone a couple of weeks ago since it failed to upload 3 full posts I had fully written and there was no freaking way to get online except to write it again. And one time it even deleted the post after a failed attempt to upload it. THE WORST. I decided to write more on my laptop and if needed throught the browser on my phone. What I learned the hard way tho: do not leave on a trip without a laptop if you do not want to have a blogging break! For whatever reason in the middle of writing this post things did not work anymore. I could not upload a single picture from my phone to the blog and even though it showed the pictures from my last post some pictures where upside down and I had no clue how to fix it.

Now I´m back though and we will play a little catch up. Here is, as promised, part two of 2017. You can read part one here

 

July

July was awesome. I finished school way better than I expected, flew to Canada to visit my hostfamily for the first time in 8 year (it felt SO GOOD to be back!!) !
