Banana and Berry Milk Shake

At the moment, it is rather hot and humid in Germany and it is kind of hard for me as I am entering the last weeks of the pregnancy. A delicious way to cool down is this quick milk shake:

1 banana (can already be a few days old)

a handful of deep-frozen berries out of the freezer (e.g. raspberries)

a large glass of milk (how much exactly depends on what consistency you prefer)

Mix all the ingredients with a blender and enjoy! :-)

A Magic Dwells in Each Beginning...

In retrospect I have to admit that it was fairly optimistical for me to say that I'd be back soon. However, I don't want to state the reasons and it doesn't really matter anyway. Of course, a lot has happened since my last post. My husband and I decided to buy an apartment, I got pregnant, I became an auntie, my husband and I moved into the new apartment... A-many new beginnings - and Hermann Hesse was definitely right when he said "a magic dwells in each beginning"! When I remember all of the beginnings I listed above, it's like they already merged into a fairy tale kind of memory and I can almost hear myself telling my grandchildren the stories about how Timo and I found our dream apartment, how we found out that we were expecting a baby, how my little nephew entered my life or how Timo, Emma, and Leo spent the first night in our own apartment...and I can't help but smile!

:-D

The I-just-found-out-I'm-pregnant-Selfie. I'm pregnant - I'm allowed to be silly!
