Of course, there has to be time for embroidery on holiday too. This time, I’m working on a monochrome design with delicate details on an olive-green dress 🤍 #embroidery #handembroidery #flowerstr #bloomstr #grownostr #proofofwork

#GM and bonjour. We’re doing as the French do and picking up fresh pastries every morning 🤍 #foodstr

#GN France 🤍

After accidentally deleting my last post, here are a few more impressions of the beautiful village of Tournemire in France’s Cantal region. I absolutely love these natural stone houses with their slate roofs 🤍 #france #architecture #grownostr

#GM et bonjour 🤍

We’ve arrived in the Cantal. This will be our home for the next two weeks. Everything looks so wonderfully French here. And the best part: my mum lives right next door. We already love it 🤍 #france #architecture

First snack in France. Childhood memories 🤍 #france #french #foodstr

A little tip if you want to make driving on French motorways easier: order a toll tag in advance (for example through ADAC). Then you can simply drive through the designated toll lanes without stopping to pay each time. The charges are billed automatically online afterwards. It makes the journey so much more relaxed 🤍 #france

#GM and Bonjour. On the road again 🤍 #france

We’ve arrived at my sister’s. We don’t get to see each other nearly often enough, which makes it all the more special when we finally do 🤍 #family

Another thing that’s essential on long road trips with kids: plenty of snacks. We let our kids pick them out themselves, and yes it can be unhealthy. We’d much rather have happy (and mostly peaceful) kids during the drive. For us, it’s worth it. It saves our sanity as parents 🤍 #kidstr #foodstr

Activities that have worked really well for us on long road trips with kids. Without tablets. In case anyone is looking for ideas 🤍 #kidstr #grownostr
