I got up before 6am, all excited to take an early morning yoga class that I had signed up for. We were four people waiting outside the studio and at 6:45, fifteen minutes after class should have started, the other ones left. I tried to call the number on their website but didn’t get through and then I sent an email to the owner. I walked home and got to spend some time with my husband before he left for work. It’s a beautiful warm day today so I honestly didn’t mind walking there and back. It takes less than ten minutes and there is no traffic that early in the morning so it was very peaceful. 

Apparently they had changed the start of the early morning classes to June. She had just forgot to delete in on the website. But I get a free workshop instead so I can’t complain:) 

It’s going to be really hot outside today. This morning, after my adventure, I had the downstairs balcony door open and ate my breakfast with the sun in my face. Hot but lovely. Magazines that I got free subscriptions for and a book I bought came in the mail yesterday so instead of doing yoga poses in a studio I read a magazine with ridiculous fashion:) 

Have a wonderful day my friends!

Currently sitting on our terrace alone listening to some ambient music. My husband took the dog out for a long walk. It’s a little chilly but not too bad. I enjoy it.

Yesterday, we were supposed to go to a baseball game, but it got cancelled because of heavy rain. It rained all day and we were tired, so we didn’t do much. Today, the weather has been great! We started with having breakfast at a diner near our apartment and then we went for a bike ride with our new bikes that was delivered last weekend. A lot of uphill so I’m sure we will both be sore tomorrow:) Then we sat on our terrace for a while in the warm sun and burnt our faces. The church next door played bell music for 45 minutes which drove me nuts, but it was still nice to just sit there and read a book. In the afternoon I started to organize in the walk-in-closet. Somehow all our stuff ended up in there making a mess, so now it’s better and all the different closets in the apt makes more sense.

I had a lot of energy, so I started to bake bread to eat for breakfast tomorrow. I found a super simple recipe that I will share with you later. My husband laughed at me standing there in my apron baking bread. But, that’s what a good house wife does, right? Especially on Mothers Day (yes, being a pommy mommy counts 🙂 ). When the bread was done, I started cooking dinner. Salmon cooked in the oven with couscous and a salad. I deserve a cold miller and some alone time now.

Good morning! How are you guys?
I feel great today! We wake up earlier and earlier these days, which I think is awesome. Our dog wakes up from the sun coming in to the bedroom and the sunrise is earlier every day. My husband doesn’t really care for T’s kisses an hour before his alarm goes off, so this morning, since I woke up at the same time as T, I got up and took him out for a walk.
I’ve never really understood why people want to stay up all night and sleep all day. When I was younger, I trained myself to sleep in. All my friends wanted to stay out late and then of course sleep til noon. I joined their schedule cause otherwise I wouldn’t have that much time to spend with them. But I hated it. For me, the morning hours are the most valuable. More hours of sun:)
How do you feel about mornings? When do you wake up?

Our building arranges activities sometimes for us neighbors to get a chance to meet. For example, there has been a weekly Wednesday “Wine Down” downstairs and we’ve been to one of those, unfortunately, only three people showed up then but still nice. Yesterday they had a Rooftop Opening Party. Drinks and food from three different restaurants and lots of neighbors on our roof. The girls that we had met at the Wine Down before introduced us to other neighbors in the building that they knew from previous events. Very nice to meet new people. We were all around the same age and we had a good time. The food was great too. Sushi, steak sandwiches and lobster mac & cheese. It was a beautiful night, kinda cold but nice. We are looking forward to go up on the roof in the summer to use the grill (you are not allowed to grill on your own terrace) and now when we know other neighbors I’m sure it will be fun to live here:) 
I woke up at 1 am last night and couldn’t fall back to sleep until 5:30 am. I hate those nights. In the morning, I was completely passed out so my wonderful husband took Thor out and gave him breakfast before he left for work. I got out of bed around 10, so no morning yoga today, but I did get a chance to skype with my sister. I want to go to the gym at some point today but I’m still super tired and my body is dead. A slow and boring day, but whatever. 

Happy Birthday to my sweet little fluffbutt!♥

Three years old, I can’t believe it! It doesn’t feel that long ago since we got him when he was ten weeks old. Thor is a big boy now. He still gives a billion kisses every single day. He loves to meet new people and loves the attention (he knows he’s cute). He’s trying to be a macho alpha dog even when all the other dogs are bigger than him. He weighed 7.2 pounds on his last vet visit on Saturday. He’s a super anxious and nervous dog when it comes to travel and crowded places but still gets excited and wants to be everywhere and meet everyone (as long as we are by his side). He loves to play fetch with squeaky toys. Licking feet and hands is his absolute favorite thing in the world. He’s sometimes schizophrenic:), happy one second and angry the next and then back to happy. He loves nap time, preferably on top of us. It shows that he loves the outside cause he’s calm and quiet when we sit on the terrace or on a bench somewhere. He’s annoying at times but also the most loving dog you can find.
We love our little boy♥
