Something is brewing... And just at that moment, when Aya has to leave the house for training, it starts pouring buckets and half the garden gets blown away. I stop the child,...

Instead of writing the concept for gifted education, I got caught up in genealogy. I eagerly researched with the new information from Mamina. And I found something... The crucial...

This morning was spent tidying up, packing, and then off we went. The journey went great. However, Lala honestly watched 4 hours of Masha and the Bear 🙈. She celebrated it,...

Today was a big shopping day at Adamello (shopping center). A tradition that has always been followed by Dad. However, traditions can be reconsidered 😈. You can always find olive...

And the day changed... More relaxed, less racket and shouting, more vacation. In the morning at the market. Nice path along the lake. Even better finally having coffee in hand/in...

Tag 1 in Italy. After a rough night, the day begins tiredly on the newly furnished balcony. For the first time, we have our dishes, and joy reigns. The stylish retro kettle should...

From the luggage, one could think that. Departure was set for around 9 AM by Dad, and what do the women make of it: 11:10 AM 🥴. Chaos, arguments, shouting, and no progress. Thus,...

It was a brief excursion to the lake at Barbara and Martin's - a beer and a jump into (cold/warm) water. The whole evening was spent with pizza, conquering the lake, and indulging...

Teenager Aya recently emigrated to another planet. From there, she regularly supplies us with door slammers, mind-blowing selfie artworks, and surprising hormone flicks. BUT we...

Gotti has to pay bills, Mamma needs to copy documents... And the kids want to play with a ball in the gym. Or how was that again 🥴?! Ah, perhaps rather gym inventory - taking...

Green-White against Blue-White; Clear case, Papa's company tickets for this match belong to Mamma 😈. Gotti has never been to a football stadium and Mamina seeks adventure daily,...

...and find myself a companion. The playhouse needs a coat of paint. Wiwi soon finds him in the person of her boyfriend. Full of motivation, she quickly gets to work – a little...

The father of my children seems to still be feeling the aftereffects of the perfect wedding in Italy, as he suddenly comes up with the idea to spend an evening at the villa by the...

Well, I'm back... It's not like nothing has happened in our family since mid-May, but after our trip to Bern, I was simply worn out from family life and needed some time to...

Maluna had her kindergarten graduation in beautiful weather. A pirate free theater. It was super cool. While not everything was understood, the scenery made up for it 😊

The little ones went on a short river hike with Dad. Everything was included: deep mud, cold water, jungle atmosphere, and a pipe passage. It was mega cool. And to top it off, we...

Nayara had her home competition today in Egnach. Great compulsory round, superb freestyle. And that in front of a huge fan club: we as a whole family. Mamina, Gotti, and even...

On Wednesday, Maluna had her first football taster training session. She had been looking forward to it so much a week in advance and counted down the days until she could finally...

Voilà, the wardrobe is complete... Anyone who knew our chaos area before probably notices a small difference already 🤩

It's so motivating to leave the house clean and tidy before the long weekend, and by the time I get home, it takes no more than half an hour for it to look like a pigsty again 🤪....

The camper can no longer continue and is crumbling in various places - symbolizing the end of an era. These days in Bern confirm a feeling. I feel completely sad, as something is...

If it's going to be wet, then let it be proper and a few degrees warmer. Today we went to Bernaqua for a bit more children's program. On the way there, a little sip of 'holiday...

The first day of the Bern adventure begins with plenty of time. Everyone sleeps in, taking it slow. Chill doesn't mean peaceful, so please no romantic notions! The cold, public...

It took a while until the last item on the to-do list was checked off 😅. One person still had to quickly go buy jeans, Mamina urgently requested birdseed after shopping, Lala...

Admittedly, I want to go to Bern despite the miserable weather conditions. Dad wouldn’t go. So all the packing-thought-organizational management falls on me. This time, I’ll take...

A fun-filled Monday... Nana is unwell and lying on the sofa, Aya keeps her distance (poor thing, in this large family, there are always critters and germs around), and to distract...

The whole clan is on the edge of the soccer field cheering for Aya. She plays great again this week, scoring 2 goals. In the end, the team just can't quite make it, resulting in a...

The beginning did not show signs of good fortune. Sibling rivalry number 235, exhaustion, irritability, and no one was in the right mood. So we ended up taking the train an hour...

On Saturday, the big girls are going to Zurich. That gives Lala and me a day for ourselves. We ride past the girls and bike into the city. Taking the bus to Rotmonten and up to...

The last few weeks have been full of sunshine, and the girls have practically been living outside on the playground, in the garden, and on the soccer field. So there's no...
