Maternity leave begins!

Time to relax and get ready for Bubbles (= project nickname in case you didn’t know).

So, what am I doing on my first day? We woke up and had coffee, milk and cuddles in bed with Little K - these moments without rush or stress just need to be enjoyed. Then we got ready, he chose a weather appropriate outfit of tights, short sleeved body and thick winter jumper! He’s obviously as confused by this rapid weather change as we all are.
Husband got to drive “Annie” to work so we waved bye bye and had a lovely walk to Kindergarten where he was “chatting” away. We had some drama with our Kindergarten last year, but we are so happy with the new place. Confirmed that on Wednesday K can celebrate his birthday there so we need to buy a Guglhupf and some candles!

There are still two more check ups for my Mutter-Kind-Pass, today is one of them. Before going to my gynocologist and say “hey there baby!” enjoyed a nice breakfast at the Anker cafe on Landstraße Hauptstraße in the 3rd. It was a bit much, but at least K can have leftovers for dinner :)

Then we shall see, maybe meet husband for lunch and find a little birthday present for the K.

Our week ahead:


Expect some more posts coming this week!

Final month of maternity leave - bucket list trip!

Image
We are back (well, have been for a week or so but been enjoying my last week off!) and had a fabulous time on our 2.5 week bucket list trip / maternity-paternity leave handover trip. It was about 6 months ago that The Husband and I started to talk about what to do for our parental leave overlap month. Australia and New Zealand were on the top of our list - but the flight time with two kids was too much for us. Canada was then next on our list and we contacted some travel agents who were going to help us book everything - but it was going to cost a small fortune that we were not comfortable to pay. This led us to another country, Portugal - Porto and the Douro valley! We ended up choosing this destination for a few reasons: First time that The Husband has been to Portugal; direct flights from Vienna; cheap; and it has been on our bucket list since he read The Cork Boat as a recommendation from the Cs. Here is a short breakdown of our trip (note: there was a lot more that we cou...

A luxury weekend getaway... or not?

My apologies for the silence on here (yep, I did get the feedback dear MW!)... but I'm back and thanks to the Husband my website has been renewed for a year so time to get a bit more serious again. Here we go - I've created a bit of a spoiler on my Facebook page already and here is my honest review from our weekend away (just FYI - we paid for this weekend ourselves in case it is an issue). Date : 15-17 March 2019 Location : Bad Tatzmannsdorf, Reiters Reserve Family Finest Who : Two adults plus a 3 year old and a 10 month old Cost : 1080 EUR for two nights all-inclusive (Alcove Room south) and ca 100EUR for the rental car We packed our big suitcase full of clothes and plenty of spares for the kids (tip: pack one more set of clothes just in case! #toilettrainingisnofun) and got our rental car to have a luxury and relaxing family to celebrate my birthday and that of Little K. It had taken me some time to decide to book this holiday as it is a ridiculous amount of money t...

Baby Cinema / Babykino

Image
Since I went to my first baby cinema with Little K, these are the questions I've often been asked: "Cinema with a baby? How does it work? Do you watch baby movies?" As we have our next Babykino day coming up on Wednesday, I thought it was about time to let you all know how it works and why it is such a great thing that all you baby mamas and papas can even drag your friend / partner / husband or mum to! As most of my posts, this is referring to the opportunities in Vienna and I truly hope that a lot of other cities offer something similar. If they don't and you are part of a bigger baby group / network, check with your local cinema if you can "rent" out the room during the morning. This was one tactic that we tried at the Haydn Kino as they didn't offer it as an organised event, I was surprised at how reasonable the cost was to rent out a cinema. How does it work? Movies are generally shown earlier on in the day and the cinema isn't fully dark ...
