My grandma used to say:“A tea-celebration can cure everything…” - whenever she felt bad, having a sore throat, bellyache or was in need of break she took time to boil a teapot full of delicious tea. She digged out her tea set made of fragile china, sipped the hot tea and relaxed.

Granny and I have a lot in common. I don´t own a fragile tea set - my teapot is made of glass, I use a tea glas and my tea tube… but whenever I have a kind of bad day I´m having a tea celebration to calm down and relax, like granny Anni did.

Little Luis has been to the ER today. We were informed his Grandpa, my poor Daddy, is suffering from pneumonia, my mommy, Frank and me have a bronchitis and Luis also didn´t feel well last night and this morning.

The pediatrist was off for an early weekend, so we decided to have the docs in the hospital should have a look at the little one´s lung. He´s got a cough, a cold and a touch of fever, but Luis doesn´t have bronchitis or pneumonia. He came home with a detailed record and medicaments, like Prospan cough syrup and Paracetamol suppository.

Bonus: We´re so glad Luis is okay - he looks a bit like a weird professor today, but he behaves as ususal… everything has to be explored, like the (empty) box of this delicious tasting cough syrup =)

The broad-leafed trees in our part of the world have lost all their leaves during the past months. It´s usual that the leaves are falling in very large amounts by the end of fall. Even the parks seem to be grey. I love going for a long walk in the parks or forests from spring to fall when everything looks so colorful. But I also enjoy nature in the winter when the air is crisp. It´s also nice to have a look at those things you only have the chance to when it´s winter:

I absolutely adore mistletoes - including the kisses ♥ =)
The picture was taken in the Hofgarten Park, Dusseldorf, Germany this afternoon.

Okay, the weather got me… I have a big fat cold *cough*, but I felt I have to create something today. So I sewed a little “I ♥ “-pouch for my mobile. To make sure the mobile doesn´t get infected, too, the pouch is made of warm and cozy felt and…

… well, okay. I learnt something not-so-new today. Don´t try to be creative when you´re not feeling well. Even a 10- 8- 6- 5- year old is able to come up with a better outcome However, my mobile won´t freeze ;)

It was a dark, stormy and rainy day in my part of the world - no one wanted to leave the house, even the furry diva Jersey only went out for two short walks. I´ve had a dentist appointment today for a so called “pregnancy prophylaxis”, including a professional tooth-cleaning with periodontosis prophylaxis and scaling. Now, back home - we think it´s the perfect evening for DVDs and sweatpants, lots of blankets and candles =)

Today´s photo was taken at about 4:30 in the morning.
I couldn´t sleep - and while I was roaming through our home (strictly NOT heeding the fridge) I found Luis sleeping in this position.
My inner mommy soul told me: “This is far too cute to miss” - and so I took a picture without flash, just to make sure Luis won´t be awaken by his stupid mom, snapping some pictures of himearly in the morning =)

My family - that´s Frank, my beloved hubby and best friend, our little son Luis, the little Hamster 2.0 growing fast inside me and Jersey, the furry diva.

She is a 5 year old chocolate Labrador who mostly behaves like a real diva, except food and/or treats are involved. Jersey loves all kinds of treats but she´d do almost everything for a carrot, especially those violet carrots from the wholefood shop. She doesn´t even care about me taking a really silly picture of her =)

Aaaaaaaaah! *sigh*
I bet you´ve heard my sigh of release all over the Blogosphere.
Today we´ve finally made it! All Christmas stuff is removed, boxed and stored. Our corridor looked a “bit” messy before all those boxes were brought downstairs…

Bye Christmas - see you again in 11 months! Cheers!

Meet the meatballs!

Luis obviously likes to share his current favorite meal with you: meatballs.
Meatballs are easy to pick with your little fork, especially when you prefer using a pastry fork instead of the little fork of your own baby cutlery. Meatballs are also easy to grab with your little hands. Honestly, it´s a bunch of fun to pick the meatball with a fork, but the meatballs tastes lots better when you eat them like (baby-)finger food. Who cares about messy fingers??? Huh? Luis? No way! Me? Neither! =)

Bon Appétit!

HA! Fun-pic alert. This is a bird´s eye view snapshot of fast-growing pregnancy belly.
Do you realize something is missing???

Right… I´ve lost my feet sometime during the last weeks
Bye, bye, pretty heels and boots - I´ll miss you. Looking forward to see you again in June… *bwahahaha*

Sanni´s Project 365 proudly presents:

Steffi

Most of my 3D-friends are either guys or gays, but Steffi is one of my few girlfriends - obviously.She´s one of a kind.
We´ve had a chick´s night today - for a special reason. Steffi needed a little cheering-up. The young man, formerly known as her boyfriend, a.k.a. jerk, chucked her yesterday in the evening without any warning… via sms - after a 8.5 years lasting relationship. Unbelievable, but true.

Any kind of further cheering-up as well as dating offers are greatly appreciated ;)
