Every little helps! “Update: A Change of Mission — Milford Street”

A couple of years back, in 2016, my friend Chris from over at Milford Street spend time in El Salvador working as a volunteer teacher, and sharing his impressions on his blog. Now he wrote an article about the devastating effects the Corona crisis has on the people living in El Salvador.  You can either

The Dog Ate My Homework

  You might have noticed that I tried to include a portrait drawing in each of my Film Friday posts so far. This is more a less a challenge within the challenge that I came up with for myself, because I always wanted to be able to draw portraits. And now’s the perfect time to

Hopping Into Puddles

  I’m spontaneously joining my dear friend Tracy from over at Reflections of An Untidy Mind for her Friday song! Because today it’s Global Climate Strike I thought at first that I should opt for a song that’s more revolutionary, like “Sunday, Bloody Sunday” by U2 (which is one of my favorites). But there’s so

Back To The 90’s!

    I don’t like admitting it, even to myself, but at the moment I feel much more exhausted than I would like. There’s no one else to blame for this than me, because the signs have been there all along, especially in the last two or three months. But instead of lighten the load,

Share Your Music! 30 Days – 30 Songs

Yesterday I came up with an idea for a new blog challenge – I want to share with you some of the music I absolutely love, and I’m going to do this for the whole month of June!! So it’s going to be a song a day! 30 Days – 30 Songs! If you’d like to

My Friend Found the Perfect Words

My Blog – Now on Instagram!!

    Last Friday I started my very own Instagram account – I know, I know: I’m kind of late in the game, but better late than never, right? 😉 In case you wonder, why I haven’t done this before – I just didn’t know if I could handle more than one social media network

Unbelievably Selfish

  In case you´re wondering whom I´m accusing of being unbelievably selfish – it´s me! Yes, really. I can´t believe that I’m actually that kind of person, but it´s true. I mean – look at all those fabulous blogs out there and me having silently enjoyed reading them like a squirrel hoarding and guarding its

The Curse of the Lost Postcards

  At the beginning of last December, I´ve send quite a lot of handmade Christmas cards to friends and family because I wanted to surprise them with something especially made for them and because I rather enjoy painting these small motif cards that are mainly done in an hour or two. Unfortunately these two seem

Time for a Time-out

  I´ve been discussing with myself lately wether or not I should take a little timeout from blogging and if so, if I should announce it on my blog. As you can see, I´m doing both. 😉 Oh, and by the way: the discussion was only taking place in my head, so no hurry to
