a quiete moment at the table with my baby sleeping, a hot ginger apple tea, the left overs of this yummy heavy peanutbutter chocolate creamcheese brownies {give that nursing mama all the calories you got}, some frank sinatra tunes in my ears and some plumleaf crab apples from our tree in the garden that i never liked for not bearing edible fruits, but now i finally get to use those tiny apples to decorate...something that i intend and planned to do in this advent time: to take at least 15 minutes a day where i do sth nice that is good for my soul, that slows me down, that brings me joy, that helps me to open up my heart to god, that wants to invite himself into our hearts especially during that time.

this.here...these three...and no, i really don't need any christmas gifts, for this is the greatest gift i could have asked for...to witness their love ▪ these two.they can't let go of him.they love and protect him...and told me to not invite friends over anymore, because its their brother and no, they don't wanna share him anymore...the words 'i love you my little a.' are spread generously in this house and i can't help but being thankful that, no matter what will happen, i believe that a. has two strong loving protective sisters who will step in for him and fight for him to have a place in this society, to be accepted for who he is, no matter if he is different or not...because they naturally love him and they will show others, naturally, how to do so... #downsyndromeawareness #downrightperfect

a wonderful start into a slow, calm and peaceful advent time to you all on this 1st advent....and after we lit the first of 4 candles at church this morning and heard about the light of all lights, the hope and peace, these girls were even more eager to finally put up our advent wreath with the four candles...they dipped their first tiny candles on the weekend and demanded to roll more beeswax candles like the years before, our basket with christmas books is out now by the living room couch and we hung up the first mistle toe branches today, they collected from cut down trees in forest kindergarden.the season started and we slowly add more decorations and activities during that advent time, a time of preperation, coming and arrival ▪god is near with his warmth and hope.may we all see and feel it in these upcoming next weeks through thoughtful action and times we gift each other.

1st advent weekend and i'm honored to host a great international ⭐GIVEAWAY CLOSED⭐ for @muellerschmidt.stuecke they gift you a 150€ voucher for their shop.to win and participate in the giveaway just give them a follow and tag your friends in the comments below. the talented couple behind them - friends of one of my best friend's in berlin - design, create and handcraft every single leather piece with so much devotion, accuracy and the highest claim of sustainability and regionality...each piece is uniquily made and assigned with an individual number. i am so happy for them to be part of the #zeughausmesse in berlin, because thats where they belong with their great handcrafted art. it really is worth to have a look at their website and to read how they work and what art pieces they offer...psssst! my girls will get a 'mouse or fish' coin purse for christmas. i will anounce a random winner on sunday, the 2nd of advent.great luck to you! - {unbezahlte WERBUNG, da Verlinkung}
