Jul 3

This week I am grateful for a lot of things,
but sadly my camera gave up & broke down after 3 years of being used every single day. I don’t know when we will be able to get it fixed or replace it, it does turn on every once in a while, so hopefully i will still be able to take a few photos.
Now, on to the gratefulness!

I am grateful for this summer sky we wake up to every morning now,
(& the little ones who kindly sleep long enough for it not to be dark outside anymore when we get up…)

Our gorgeous garden & the millions of flowers that the people who lived here before us planted:
(Thank you!)

Other things I am grateful for,
without pictures:

Iced cappuccino ,
homemade strawberry popcorn tea
Daddy’s last day of working away from home
& Emily declaring right after she woke up : “Mama, we have GOT to go shopping together!”.

What are you grateful for?
Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Just when we got used to the slow & cozy rhythm of the rainy june days
the weather changed again.

July has been so very sunny & hot that we spend our days outside, only going inside to get more books,more games, & more strawberry milkshake.

We have been loving a game called “Mouse House” that we picked up in a thrift shop not too long ago,
it’s another one of those games that are just right for an almost three year old.
(even though she does change the rules quite often..)

These days remind me so much of when I was a child, I always used to play boardgames outside in my grandma Oma Rosel’s garden , eating her fantastic homemade “beesting” cake.
I will have to share that recipe with you some time soon, it is perfect for a sunny day in the garden.

Wishing you a sun filled & lovely day,

It has been raining a lot recently.
Trips to the beach have been canceled,
walks with friends did not happen ,
& picnics turned into lunch at home,
but strangely, we have been really enjoying it.

Emi really likes to write rain, too!

I am very thankful for the peace & quiet of a rainy day,
for the closeness it brings,
& for having an excuse to dress my little ones in handknits!

This week we were grateful for

the few bits of sleep that this little one got,
being so very troubled by his soon to be teeth.

Building fairy homes with daddy:

This little one running through the forest with incredible confidence,
feeling very much at home :

& the many many tries to make poor Georgie laugh despite the terrible toothing thing,
which lead to many photos of him looking rather, aehm, worried.

The computer is fixed, & we are back.
This morning , when the little ones & me went outside to get some fresh flowers ,
I remembered a quote i had read quite some time ago:

I’d rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
Emma Goldman

P1170634

Yes, it sort of sums up the last couple of months around here.

I love how flowers instantly make breakfast feel really special.
Flowers & blueberry pancakes = bliss.

I hope you are having a good day!

Emi & George made a sweet candle holder & a very useful pencil holder for their daddy:

(No, i don’t bath in the sink, but it’s hard to not get splashed when those two little ones are playing together..)

The past week or so there has been a lot more dress up than usual.
Sure,Emi always loved to dress up as the monster fairy but it was more the fun of being able to put it on all by herownself.
Now, dressing up is about the pretending, the imagination and the stories.
She has been dressing up as all sorts of fun characters, but her favourite is little red riding hood :

(There’s a lot of galloping through the forest going on around here…)

She still sometimes is the monster fairy, though.
