Our new neighbor(s)

Since we changed the time to summer time last week, it's really light out, when we go to bed. So I decided to reinstall our window cover - some "thing" I sew last summer consisting of several layers of newspaper covered with a fabrique that matches our bedroom and which is attached to our window frame with velcro. While redoing the velcro tape on the frame, I spotted a dove in the rain drain (or whatever it's called). She is having a nest there with eggs (or at least one I saw). We hate those doves on our roof top - or basically always around the windows of our apartment under the roof. Dove poop everywhere. And I'm always scarred one day, I'll find one in my living room, bc I left the window open. Anyway... she was a big attraction to L. I had to put her up in the window spot several times and she almost wouldn't go to bed. I'm hoping we'll see the little birdies also. It would be a fun wild-life-real-life-outdoor-right-outside-of-our-window-project. We hate those doves in general. But we kinda welcome our new neighbor (gotta name her).

 

Getting ready for Easter

We loved being creative today. L was so into it and she did so well. We covered plastic eggs from the 1 € Store with wrapping paper and newspaper (using glue paste).

Improving my cooking skills

For the very first time in my life, I made pork. Turned out great! I made this with one of my new tupperware items: Ultra. I used two pots on top of each other to make the potatoes and the pork at the same time. Very convenient.

And by the way, that was a big pot for myself. L didn't not eat it. :(

Tupperware Crazyness or Ebay trapped

Dear readers, one month ago I was making fun of tupperware parties and their products. Two tupperware parties and one smart idea later, I have to admit I got tupperware crazy.

And for the very first time I'm broke by the end of the month - for real.

The tupperware lady was a really smart one. In the beginning I thought - who needs all that stuff??? By the end of the party I was convinced, that some items might also help me organize my kitchen better, i.e. the bread box, bc my bread always goes bad. But still, most of the things I don't need and they're way too expensive for my needs.

Brilliant idea came to my mind: As a smart ebay shopper, why not buy used tupperware - especially since the products are known for their lifetime warranty and quality?!

For the past 2 weeks I got really good at this. Some really awesome deals.
Bad part: I kept looking for more and more stuff... today, being clear in my mind, I'm not so sure, if I really only purchased the very very useful things.

But hey, I can still resell, and probably earn some money. I'll keep you updated, about which items I'd really recommend. And I'm glad my bank account somewhat put a limit to my ebay addiction.

All is good.
