week-end

lazy Friday breakfast

an excited girl off for a play and sleep-over

a little girl enjoying some special time with her daddy

great adjustment workshop for me followed by delicious indian dinner

movie time with my man

an unusual early Saturday morning, the reason - riding lesson for the big girl

leaving my little girl and me to start on a project on the terrace

now that's on a stand still as a swarm of bees settled in on our terrace for now...

off to a birthday party with the little girl now

hoping for an early night and a good start into an exciting week!

how's your week-end?

this moment

inspired by SouleMama
A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words A few pictures, some words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

our first breakfast out on the terrace (missing the man!)!

beautiful sunshine, a little bit of wind. there are many things on the list until the girls and I will go out for a birthday party in the afternoon, but it's so beautiful that we (or should I say I?) just can't go back inside...

the girls on their scooters before breakfast, enjoying bubbles in between and right now they found a play dough set (that actually was already sorted out to find a new child to play with), getting creative, letting me linger on just a little bit longer...

and that last picture is a long planned project the girls started for me, while I was in my yoga space in the early morning... yes, all this games were overdue to get sorted :-)

enjoy the week-end!

lunch-time

just because I am trying to get my meal-times sorted and I remembered how quick and delicious a proper healthy homemade lunch can be - let me share a few recent examples:

Chapati bread, Beetroot-Hummus and Avocado

Rocket with Pine-nuts, homemade bread with Dill-butter

Carrot-Beetroot salad with Pumpkin seeds, Chapati bread, Coriander and Yoghurt

and  well, not exactly lunch, but what I am having for breakfast at the moment. I am happy to share my latest muesli mix with you:

in a frying pan heat coconut oil and add:

pumpkin seeds

dried plums

walnuts

coconut flakes

oats

chia seed/flax seed

carob powder

roast just a little  - enjoy with fruit, yoghurt, any kind of milk or whatever else you feel like!

Hildegard-Nervenkekse

Wofür diese Kekse gut sind?

"Iss diese oft und alle Bitternis deines Herzens weicht,

und deine Gedanken weiten sich,

dein Denken wird froh, deine Sinne rein,

alle schadhaften Saefte in dir minderer;

es gibt guten Saft deinem Blut und macht dich stark."

Hildegard von Bingen

week-end

the end to a week I missed my little girl and tried to get everything done with the big girl...

Friday morning was exciting, as we were counting the hours to our little girls arrival back home. oh, she went on a trip all by herself. off on a plane to spend time with her grandparents.

lots of smiling faces at the airport when she finally arrived through the gate!

the big girl would never admit, but she was just as happy to have her sister back home... proved by the two girls playing so nicely on Saturday morning.

busy Saturday for my man, as he made it to a Yoga-workshop in the morning (so proud!) and took the big girl riding in the afternoon, as I could already feel something starting...I was hoping it's not that bad, but hey, my body wants me to rest. I am aching, tired and sniffling around...as my big girl went on an overnight school trip this morning. exciting times!

and on a sandstormy Cairo-day let me share my dream with you...have a good week!

following thehabitofbeing, sharing this special time of the week with you!
