Have you ever seen someone on the street and envied how stylish they looked? Do you have a friend who is kind of your fashion role model? Are there times when you wished you came up with a particular style that is in? You wished you worn it before everyone else. You want to be one of the hipsters for just one day? 

Well, forget it because someone came before you and did it all: your dad.

One of my favorites: the big headphones trend

If you want to find out what other trends your hip dad prevented you from inventing by doing it first go on this blog. Even if you don´t go check it out. If you don´t laugh you´ll get your money back.

We have this book and Aurora really seems to like it so I thought I´d recommend it. It´s called Kribbel-Krabbel by Karin Blume. You stick your fingers through holes in the pages and they become parts of the animals on the page. It´s a really cute little book and it´s only about 4€ (in Germany).

My favorite fruit is sand berry. Or wait, maybe not. On the other hand... Let me try another one. Uh no! I was right they´re horrible! Well, I´ll give it one last try. Yum! Oh no discusting! Hm kinda nice. Gross! Yummy! Gross! Yummy! 

Gross! Yummy!

Gross! Yummy!

Dear Diary

I could eat my baby! 

No literally - I could eat her... 

...clothes. 

I just never noticed how yummy her pants look until I made these cupcakes yesterday.

True two cats is enough but I guess Matt must have missed our two furry children so much when we we´re on Christmas break that he got Aurora her own. She is striped, she is Japanese and she poops way less than danger - which basically can be said about any being in the world though. But I guess it would have been a shock if Matt had come back empty handed from his trip to Muji.

Another great blog is "whats cooking with kids". It´s a mother on the quest to give parents suggestions on how to feed their kids healthy, organic food, how to get them involved in cooking and how your lifestyle (with kids) can be shaped by trying to be as environment friendly as possible. She has written a cookbook and is running a mobile cooking school for kids.

Stop by the blog and I am sure you´ll find great ideas.

I like especially:

1. A post in which she measures the amounts of sugar in common drinks (keep in mind that this is a page based in the USA - some of the brands are not available in Europe)

2. A post in which she describes her struggle with feeding her child in the past, how she learned and tips on the issue for new parents. Written with heart and personal experience which makes you want to take her advice because it doesn´t sound like schooling if the teacher tells you exactly how they came to their conclusions.

3. A post introducing a tool that helps you feed your family healthy food while staying on your budged.
