Wandering through the gardens, soaking in the sun, playing tag with the children - this was the perfect place to explore a beautiful piece of history.
.
when it comes to travelling with our children we always try to make sure
.
(1) there is a space the kids can freely explore - bonus if its outside
.
(2) able to bring our own snacks and be able to picnic
.
(3) access to a toilet

CAKE! There is always a reason to have cake.
.
When our days get too busy - you can find us #baking in the kitchen - slowing down, sharing conversation, and brainstorming new ideas.

We keep it super simple with the recipe:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup softened butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp yeast

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix sugar and wet ingredients first. Then mix dry ingredients. In our case we mixed them all in together and it worked out fine.
.
Apple filling. Two sweet red apples finely sliced. Melted butter and brown sugar (to taste).

I especially missed this when pregnant! And with a nice wine pairing! Now what other fruits or veggies can be included?

I started this painting months ago and keep coming up with excuses as to why I can’t find time to build on it. Mostly it comes back to “not feeling in the mood” “feeling too tired” “sore legs, sore back”.
.
What’s different today?
(1) Today I set the mood. Lit candles and put my favourite record on.
.
(2) Picked a bold colour and went for it
.
And you know what once I took that first stroke of the brush it all came so natural like second nature, and I continued on and on for what felt like hours

When we moved into this apartment we had to “bring“ our own kitchen, which is easier said then done. But this did allow us to incorporate some of our favourite kitchen features from back home.
.
(1)Smeg fridge dupe. This is the standard fridge size in Europe and it does not store much, so it forces us to shop local and often.
.
(2) The island workspace and eat-in bar. This is very uncommon here, however I love having the kids around and the space to cook together.
.
(3) No top cupboards. We did these open shelves with the hanging rods and I love how convenient it is for easy access to essentials without having them cluture the actual coubtertop.
.
(4) The walk in pantry, this was a huge bonus of this apartment and not overly typical to a standard kitchen herr

Holding onto every last drop of summer☀️
It may be an unpopular opinion but I am here for the sun while we still have it #summerforever #slowliving #maternity #thirdtrimester so we packed up the children and spent the day at the sea.

Travelling through Italy, „summering“ through the month of August with breathtaking views and my littles by my side experiencing it all with me - this was a future dream that is now a reality.
.
I feel so grateful for this little life we have built for ourselves and continue to build each and every day. It has not been easy and is still far from it, but it is leaps and bounds forward from where we once started.

So excited to be back home! I always have so much gratitude and appreciation for this space we have dubbed home this year, especially after being away for so long. Now what to cook next with all this olive oil 🫒

I don’t think I will ever get over how amazing and complex the food tastes here. Not to mention the medieval architecture

As I move between rooms in our home, I am never quite sure what scene I will come across. Although this morning I was definitely startled by this.
