I have been working so much day and night that I am close to a migraine attack, so next week I will take it very slow and easy. What a bliss I had a lovely visitor to cheer up the moods and share the chores last week.

Besides my crazy work-load, we spent the days with cuddles, laughter, healthy cooking sessions, late night wine and tons of chocolate. Had a heart-shaped banana-cake for Valentine's and spent the afternoons on the playground enjoying the pleasant weather. And we fell for Lily all over again. It felt so right to have her around, and it was so hard to let her go again on monday. We all cried big tears and Lily, we miss you so. Thank you for being brilliant. ♥

We were out of town last week, so apologies for not sticking to the life lately schedule. It's tuesday once again and I decided to combine the pictures of the past two weeks.

We are trooping life "alone", cuddling up, cooking feel good food, going on long walks (and yes I am working full time at the same time) and inviting friends over to cheer up the moods. Anton's favourite person, Lily Poppins, arrived on sunday for a week long Berlin stopover between Recife and Madrid and we couldn't be happier, period. Our apartment is full of squeeks and laughter. To a great week!

This week I left my Kiez a couple of times, visited some dear friends in Potsdam, got my hair cut, had great food (>>more here<<) and did some wonderful jobs. I love the weather, even though mini-me contaminated me with another cold. Life is good. But I miss N., who left us lonesome here for a few weeks. My props go out to all single parents out there. You are the true heroes of humanity.

I am happy to announce I am a proud owner of the new iPhone 5s since a few days and am impressed by just how much better its camera is.

There was ice and snow this week, temperatures are declining and I am actually loving it. Besides that, it's no words, just pictures.

It's been a slow week, meaning recovery from all sorts of sicknesses, getting used to increasingly cold and wet weather in Berlin (can't even imagine a -20°C kind of winter with a toddler, argh), missing N who went to Eastern Europe for two days (oh shoot, I was so jealous!), dealing with a mess of an apartment but so thankful for a happy, active mini-me keeping up the spirits all week long.

I completely failed in posting my iPhone Diaries on a regular basis since months, so I'll just do it more free now, on a "life lately" basis. It's still hard to take pictures with my proper camera right now, at least when I am not working, and the phone is always handy, so these are a whole lot more representative of what is going on here. (You can also just follow me on instagram if you like.)

(What you cannot see here are dark circles from non-stop sleepless nights, a few wonderful evenings out with friends, a lot more good food, visits from the grandparents and everything else...)

Enjoy.

Things are getting better over here - more sleep mostly, finally. More doesn't mean much, but we're getting there, I'm sure.

So much has happened over these past few weeks, I went home to my family twice, spring came and summer is almost here, mini-me is close to crawling and finally eating lots of real food, we went to the zoo, spent May 1st in Kreuzberg and got helping hands from many good friends (thank you!!). I went to Oxford again last weekend and gave a photography workshop, we might get an au pair soon and life is so much nicer when it's sunny outside. Life is good.

Oh, and I almost forgot, our >>exhibition<< is running quite successfully, with plenty of media having featured us, and a number of features having mentioned my name and photography. ♥ (--> Zeit Online, Berliner Zeitung, Tagesspiegel)

(Please excuse the massive amount of photos. But I needed to catch up, right?!)
