About using mobile phones while driving & booster seats (Cooperation/Advertising+raffle)
About using mobile phones while driving & booster seats (Cooperation/Advertising+Raffle) Let’s face it – who consistently keeps his hands off the smartphone while driving? Who does not use the mobile phone in the car every now and then? Why do so many mothers and fathers risk an accident every day when they are on the other hand always so concerned about the safety of their...

“Mom – I don’t want to go to Kindergarten anymore.”
“Mom – I don’t want to go to kindergarten anymore” “Mom – I don’t want to go to kindergarten anymore” – a sentence many parents are afraid of. “I would rather be with my family.” These were the original words of my daughter about two months ago. I think it was on a Sunday night before going to bed. When I heard that, all...

My Coffee Table Books – part 1
My Coffee Table Books – Part 1 Away from the screen With this post I start the series of my Coffee Table Books. Meanwhile, some beautiful books have accumulated, which received too little attention during the last 4 years. Why?

Mum-Dad-time: an evening at the Schauspielhaus Dusseldorf My in-laws – back in action Last weekend we were allowed to enjoy some mom-and-dad-time again. The children stayed overnight with their grandparents from Friday to Saturday. Since they had taken care of the children for a whole weekend in February already to make a short trip to Paris, I would not have dared to ask again...

The mole with the poo on his head – in theatre The theatre On Sunday, February the 25th, I visited the ‚Theater am Schlachthof (TAS)‘ (theatre at the slaughterhouse) in Neuss with my daughter for the first time. I only became aware of the establishment when I saw a flyer in a restaurant, although the theatre is already running since 1994. In addition to...

London in 50 hours with a 4-year-old
London in 50 hours with a 4-year-old Last weekend we fulfilled our daughter’s wish and traveled with her to London. In the last year she has had to put up with so much and take care of the little sibling, so we thought it was a good idea that our girl may have her parents for herself for a weekend. After our ‘parents only’...

Behind the scenes
Here are some designs for the mamanille logo. I wanted to have something ‘handmade’. I do not know when I last had pencils, paint and brushes in my hand – only for me. Of course, constantly for the children. It is so much fun. You just have to have more time! At the moment I’m still trying to figure out how to bring the...

Dreams come true
In my post about early dance education, I mentioned that I used to like to go to ballet class myself. My childhood dream has always been to become a prima ballerina. For about 10 years I had classical ballet lessons. My mother drove me once a week to the next village, where an American ballet master from a neighboring town held lessons for the...
