Friends & food all day – I am so happy! After dropping off Mia and laughing at physio (hand and knee are much better), I meet Hannah for a coffee, which turns into more coffees and lunch…. I love these dynamics and only have to leave, as I am meeting my friend Inga, who is …

Off we go to Luxembourg! 13 degrees and it is raining cats and dogs – I guess I am leaving the snow boots at home and I am happy that there is a gym and climbing wall for the kids for plenty of indoor fun! The wonderful thing is that the kids all entertain each …

„Reach for the stars, not for the daisies“ (Nicole Staudinger) … but what if I don’t have the energy. I have the first sleepless night since ages and my mind takes funny turns. I cry and feel lonely. I don’t know what is wrong – I go to the bathroom and admire my little regrowth …
