Big Trip

We are getting ready to go on our big trip: 5 weeks in Germany with our lovely family! We are pretty much packed, have 3 hours to spare until we have to leave and I am trying to calm myself down.

A trip like this is nerve racking. (You know, I think it should be spelled nerve wrecking, just by the way.) All the things you have to think of! People are staying in your apartment because they were supposed to sit your ancient cat... So it has to be clean and organized when you leave, on top of all the other mayhem going on. Lists have to be written, things prepared and explained...

Hoping there won't be any traffic on the way to the airport, hoping for short lines at check in, hoping for a smooth trip... Nerve wrecking!! I am a nervous person as it is, but the preparations for these long trips are too much for me. But: The trip will only be a short fraction of the amazing time we will be spending with everyone in Schoeningen. We are so looking forward to our family, the backyard and unlimited outside time, the tiny pool and tsunamis, beer, wine and Grillen, laughter, love, serenity. SO EXCITED!!! Excited to show off my children to everyone. Excited to relax. Get spoiled.  Great company.

Here are my favorite pictures from last year's fun:






So I will stop stressing now (I think I stopped the second I sat down with my coffee to take time to write this) and will just be excited. And happy. And calm.

Deutschland, bis gleich!! Wir freuen uns so auf Dich! Und auf euch, Noonie, Opa, Omi, Brudi, Nadine, Glen, Wookie, Leo und den Rest der Familie <3




Hygge

(hooga) Togetherness. Coziness. Unity. Trust. Connection! That’s what that funny danish word means to me. It’s funny how this Danis...
