    Once upon a time, when I was 14 years old and a quite nasty teenager at that I went to Spain with mom. Her dream was to see Granada and Seville. Mine – eating a lot of frozen juice ice-cream and complain about anything and everything (sorry, mom). The only memory I have from back then is a yellowish photo of myself with a grumpy face infront of the Columbus monument in the World’s largest Seville Cathedral. It was time to fix that memory.  And as Spring is the most amazing time in Andalusia, we got our tickets fixed and flew in for a long weekend.  This time I was…

🇩🇪It looks like our home office/staying home days will soon come to an end.. * As the rules are lifting up in our part of Germany, Olivia and Maxi will be able to go back to their daycare starting 8 June. * Are we happy? Are we sad? On the one hand, there is a lot of work which was left untouched for the past 12 weeks, and I‘m dying to dig into it - get into updating the blog and to work on all the projects which are on „pause“ now. * For now the daycare will run on reduced hours and strick hygene/health regulations, but that‘s how it is now. * On the other hand I will miss the family lunch time - when all four of us would sit together❤️ * But we are definitely happy that kids will be able to see their play mates👌🏻 #homeofficeday #kidslovetoplay #familytravel
To travel or not to travel - this is the question..which is in many minds right now.. * With more countries opening their borders, and some actually never closing them, there are more and more talks about traveling and getting back on the road. * We get messages from airlines offering flights out of Germany starting the end of June. * But it doesn’t feel right, and the message is a bit confusing. It should be clear that opening borders doesn’t give you a green light for traveling. * Being back on the road is not the point of everything we have been dealing with since the pandemic struck! * Let’s not bring others (and ourselves) in unnecessary danger just because we want to keep up with the lifestyle. * We really want to be back traveling the World, but we hope that by pulling the break now we can speed the process of recovering. * What really brakes my heart is that we won’t be able to hug my grandma, Olivia’s and Maxi’s great-grandma in St-Petersburg. She is 91 and at this age every day counts.. * What are your thoughts on this matter? #travelfamily #wirbleibenzuhause
🇩🇪 Are there any fans of industrial history over here?? Because you might want to put Dortmund on your list! * Oh yes, you heard it right! We are not talking about faraway lands, we are talking about our backyard and the area we live in - the Ruhr area. * This place on the photo is a former machine room of a colliery - a coal mine and the buildings which served the coal mine industry Ruhr area in Germany is so famous for. * This particular colliery was also a pretty one - meant to be a model it holds buildings and details of judendstil and is one of the most beautiful and impressive remnants of the German industrial era. * It was supposed to be demolished, but by a spare miracle was rescued in the 1970’s and turned into a museum and a venue space. * We went there to have a look and stayed for the whole day - it’s a families friendly and educative space which we really loved. * Long story short, true gems are right in front of us👌🏻 #lwlzechezollern #dortmundüberrascht #industrialdesign #golocal
We hit the 10th week of staying at home by picking strawberries at a local farm..🍓 * ...not sure how much we ate while picking, but at the end the bellies were full of 🍓 * The fun costs 4,50 Euro per kg and you can pick and eat until you drop. * How about you? How do you keep yourself entertained? #strawberry🍓 #supportyourlocal #farmlifebestlife
🇩🇪In our part of Germany the life is slowly getting back to normal, except.. * ..that it still has a lot of “buts” and “ifs”. * Last week the quarantine sanctions were partially lifted and playgrounds, parks, fitness studios, the zoo and many shops got back to business. * With restricted opening hours and obligation of wearing masks. * This week many eateries and cafes are allowed to offer not only “to go”, but the regular service. * But schools and especially kindergartens are a very hot topic on the news! * There are several stages of adding kids to the existing group of those who has been schooled during the pandemic times - kids of essential workers, from single household etc. * In any case we got a message from Olivia’s kindergarten saying that starting 11 June she could go to her kindergarten twice per week. * So far no news about Maxi daycare. * How does it make us feel? Let‘s say this - we don‘t understand why fitness studios are opening and kids care not! But there are many things one doesn‘t go along with.. * How about you? What is your current situation? #stayhomestaysafe #germanytravel #kidsexplore
Happy Mothers Day, to all of you amazing moms out there! * It’s a freaking hard job to raise new people and we are doing the best we can! Especially now, when the World is going crazy! * I wish I could hug my mom and grandma, but there is not a chance in foreseeable future that we are going to travel to St-Petersburg. #happymothersday #iloveyoumom #momtraveler
DO YOU ACTUALLY TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE AREA WHERE YOU LIVE?! * This view reminded me of Auckland, which was the last stop on our New Zealand trip in 2017... * ..except that it‘s just 30 min bike ride away from our home in Dortmund. * Seing and discovering familiar things with new eyes turned into a new project for us these days - never had we invested so much time in exploring the area where we live, always aiming for faraway lands and leaving the backyard for later days. * But the past 8 weeks we took the time and started sharing our tips and discoveries for local explorations. At @ich_wohne_hier you‘ll see what I‘m taking about. * This green hill on the photo used to be a pile of trash up to 1992, until it was turned into an area for mountain biking and became one of the most popular spots for taking photos of the Dortmund skyline. * The World is transforming and we are doing our best to accept the challenge and adjust.❤️ #dortmund #travellocal #exploreyourbackyard
When walking down the street turns into an adventure... * ..Maxi decided to start the 8th week of staying at home without his day nap 🙈😱 which I’m not ready to go along with😜. * Olivia wasn’t much into her day naps, refusing them completely by the age of 2,5. * With Maxi the story is completely different - we could count on him to fall asleep almost at the exact time every day...but not today. * Well, nap time, especially during these times is my one and only chance to have a self-time during the day, which I mostly invest into cooking lunch, but anyhow... * How about your kids day nap history?? #littleadventures_bigpictures #dortmundüberrascht
Do you have siblings?? * Both Florian and myself are single kids and never had those love/hate relationships anyone with siblings is always talking about. * With Maxi following every step of his elder sister, with hugs and punches Olivia gives him and the sharing dilemma floating constantly in the air it feels like we are going on a completely new level - the one we only heard of, but never lived through. * The last seven weeks at home definetely brought Olivia and Maxi very close together - the grins and looks they are exchanging are telling us that it is just all the beginning😜 * Anyhow, even during the days when the earplugs don‘t help and by the end of the day all I want is to disappear on an uninhabited island, watching their brother-sister relationship developing makes me happy. * What about you? Are you single kids? Have you ever wished for a sibling? Any stories or experiences about your kids? * So curious how Olivia and Maxi will communicate in the future, if they will of course. #growingupwithsiblings #kidsgoplaces #travelfromhome
