How I did it
How to clean out the garden
It took me
5 weeks
It made me

How I did it: It took a while because it was quite cold (freezing actually) when I started. But it was half an hour here, 15 minutes there. There was a lot to cut away and to clean up, but the result is a fresh and very spring-like garden with the tulips and narcissus only waiting to bloom.The only sad thing about it is that I had to clean up this garden for the new owners (we are goin to move out in two weeks) and I will not be able to see the apple t… Read how I did it…

How to have more patience
It took me
2 months
It made me
zen...

How I did it: I controlled my temper, went out of the room, had to count to ten (100 at times) - all the things recommended to do when you're at risk to loose it  - and it helped me. It took some time for me to believe in these things, but seeing once that it worked, I tried again and with every step I got more confident that I can be and stay patient with my family, my children, myself and the rest of the world. =)I'm not saying that I am co… Read how I did it…

How to eat nothing but fruit for one day
It took me
2 months
It made me
glad it's over

How I did it: I had fruit all day, fruit juice, water or tea in between and even made a smoothy (banana, rasperries, kiwi, apple juice)  for cases of emergency. I tried to be busy most of the day and that helped the most to really get through with it. Read how I did it…

Stockings 3 days ago

My kids are supposed to bring one of Dad’s old socks to kindergarten next week; they’re going to be filled with sweets from Nikolaus (6.12.).
Since most these socks seem to have huge holes (and the more I throw away, the more socks with holes appear, it seems), I had to come up with something different and more colourful.

I was a lot of fun to make, even though it could have been done a lot faster (smarter, but well, I’m still learning these things).

I hope my children will like them.

20 Questions 1 week ago

Yesterday morning, my daughter (5) started to ask questions again, which sometimes can go on and on and on… But this time it got interesting. =)

Andrea: Mama, why is it that Pinocchio can move when he is made out of wood?
Me: Well, the fairy gave him the ability to walk and talk.
Andrea: Oh I get it: he’s running on batteries!
;-)

Watch out Santa! This little girl will soon discover who’s hiding underneath that beard… ;-)
