"How many chocolate bars have you got in there?", was the first thing my dad asked me, when he tasted my chocolate cake. "Only two", I answered and smiled. Today, I present you the best chocolate cake recipe EVER. Well, at least that's my opinion. I just love this one - and it's also quite an easy chocolate cake recipe. The raspberries match...
Hm, what should I cook today? Does this question bother you from time to time? I unfortunately do not have a lot of time to cook (though I enjoy it very much). Thus I'm always searching for quick and easy dinner recipes. And, if possible, healthy recipes... Moreover, the recipe shouldn't be for pasta. I love pasta, but I refuse to use a...
There are days, when everything goes wrong right from the start and you want nothing more than go back to bed immediately. When drinking my cup of coffee in the morning, I discovered a dark spot on the rosewood couch table, which refuses to disappear, no matter how I fight him. During my efforts to remove the spot, the baby is obnoxious (she...
At 8 a.m. I'm not socially acceptable. My teeth are not clean and I'm still wearing my pajamas. Solely my baby and my coffee keep me up (the baby is more effective than the coffee...). Anyway, what suggests itself more than take the pictures for the next blog post :) For quite some time I want to make a card - to be...
If you are similar to us, you rather tend to buy too much food instead of too little. Particularly bread remains unused at our household and we often have to toss it. I always think it's a pity if you have to throw away food. Not only that there are loads of people on this planet who don't have enough to eat. Also,...
I have to confess our living room is still quite Spartan. No curtains (I'm no fan of curtains) and also no decoration or pictures on the walls. We also don't have painted walls - time for a change! Thus, I ordered an adhesive forest wall mural on http://pixers.de, which matches to the simple look of the living room. The decision was pretty hard,...
It's been a long time since I baked something. Our little baby doll keeps us quite busy. Moreover, we want to eat healthier and pancakes are not actually known for being healthy. Well, maybe the blueberries save the day :) And if not - well, at least, they tasted delicious. Easy Recipe for Blueberry Pancakes Lots of blueberries give the pancakes a fresh...
Are you still in search for small gift ideas for women? For your best friend, your sister... - and at best it's also individual, creative and inexpensive. Maybe I got something for you. Recently I bought some craft supplies I was eager to use. The set contained also a few vintage stamps I wanted to try. After some hard thinking, I had an...
Today has been such a beautiful November morning! For quite some time I'm thinking about writing a post about garden plants in fall. Blooming flowers on the balcony or in the garden during the darker season just lighten the mood. This morning, the sun shone so bright on our balcony, I couldn't resist any longer. Quickly, I put on my jogging trousers -...
Make your own diy Advent calendar... wait, another one?? It's the last crafted Christmas Advent calendar for this year, I promise. It's also my favorite one - plain and simple. A bit puristic maybe, but that's what I prefer at the moment. This one's will the first Christmas Calendar for our baby- but that will be next year, she's too small for now....
During this blog post, I got kind of sentimental.. Last week, I started to clean the attic (seems to be a task for a whole century) and discovered my first crafted Advent calendar. I made years before I started my diy blog. It's pretty colorful - perfectly for a kids' Advent calendar craft. Find the instructions and materials below, if you want to...
Despite it's no German tradition, I love Halloween. The costumes, the horror movies, the scary food.. Hopefully, some dressed up kids will show up and demand sweets. If so, I'm optimally prepared. I took the opportunity to make some easy Halloween crafts for kids and created cute candy bags. Find the instructions below, in case you want to copy them. Halloween Crafts for...
Bah.. Weather has been really bad here lately. It's starting to freeze in the morning. Time to prepare for winter and get a knitted scarf. I like my scarves extremely huge, which is why I usually have to knit them myself. If you have never knitted before: Scarves are quite easy to make and a good project for knitting beginners. Find my extra...
This project was really a looooot of work. Honestly. But it was worth it in the end. Okay, now from the start. We bought several new shelves for our storage room (well, it should have been our office, but ended as a storage room..). The shelves were basically ok, but I was really unhappy with the door handles. They look kind of cheap...
