Endless meetings. At least the view out the window is beautiful 🤍 #teacherstr

There’s one thing that really bruises my ego: when I’ve been telling someone something and encouraging them for years, only for a third person to come along, say exactly the same thing, and suddenly they’re believed. And it’s treated as if they’re hearing it for the very first time. That’s when I really have to take a deep breath 🤍 #psychology

That’s exactly what I need after a day at school 🤍 #dogstr #coffee

Back at school. Eight long weeks lie ahead of us. This is the most intense period of the school year, with lots of tests to write, parent-teacher meetings and conferences to attend, and extra events to organize. Add the dark, wet weather to the mix. Family life is also always particularly eventful during this time, with lots of extra things to think about and plan for. Every year, I have to brace myself a little for what lies ahead 🤍 #teacherstr #momlife #family

#GM Yesterday ended with a rainbow, and today is starting with another one 🤍

A rainbow over our old stomping ground. We lived here for several years in a lovely apartment right on the lakeside promenade before trading it in for our beloved old farmhouse. It’s nice to take a walk here again 🤍 #germany #mecklenburgvorpommern

My son and I have finished making the football piñata. Now his birthday can come 🤍 #football #kidstr

Early in the morning, our son usually snuggles up between us. Then he takes our hands and places them together, looking utterly content 🤍 #love #family

#GM cozy Sunday 🤍

Yesterday, I asked you about your favourite car colour. Black was the most popular choice, but actual colours like red, blue, and purple are popular, too. Good thing there’s something for everyone on the market! I probably won’t find myself in the position of getting to choose a colour, let alone my dream car model. But if I could choose both, this would be my favourite 🤍 #carstr

„Vor der Hochzeit kriegst du Rosen, nach der Hochzeit flickst du Hosen.“ I repair every piece of clothing at least three times before it ends up in the trash 🤍 # momlife #kidstr #family

Lunchtime. Pumpkin and potatoes from our garden, with tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan. Served with herbed quark 🤍 #foodstr

#GM Saturday 🤍

The boys are off doing sports, while my daughters and I are picking up where we left off with our wall-painting project from the summer 🤍 #proofofwork

I really like those super-light slip leads that you simply put over the dog’s head. The dog walks right by your side as if there were no leash at all. I hold it loosely in my hand, and there’s no tension on it. That’s what true loose-leash walking looks like to me: the dog stays attentive to me without becoming so accustomed to the leash that it stops paying attention 🤍 #dogstr
