For the past four years, we’ve been regular visitors of the Spillfest, a sportive event organised by the Luxembourgish Olympic Committee. The idea behind this colossal undertaking is to familiarise the general public with sports they might have otherwise ignored the existence of but underneath it all, it is a really nice social event to Read More

Déierepark – where party animals meet actual animals
I’m baaack! So much has been going on in the last few months but sometimes you just need to take a step back, asses the situation and decide it’s time for tea and knitting. However, the times has come to update you so let’s start with fun stuff – we’ve had a few weeks and Read More
You are what you eat – a bit of the Balkans in Luxembourg
Raising children abroad means feeding them differently, as well. As a child, I never knew crudités, never heard of raclette, smelled smelly cheese, seen the stunning (not to mention delicious) macaroons in the coffee shop window during a stroll through the city centre or insisted my mother adds fromage frais to her shopping cart; contrary Read More
KatareKid’s very first tournament
So, we had an eventful weekend, lovelies. Our KarateKid had his very first tournament and it was as thrilling as you can imagine, if not more! From the minute he woke up everything revolved around the afternoon competition and upon arrival at the venue, things got real! First, he changed into his kimono and as Read More
What my children got for New Year’s
As many of you know, we don’t do Christmas presents. What we have always done instead, is New Year’s presents. We usually ˝write a letter˝ to Grandpa Frost as well, which is fun for the children and helps me pinpoint their priorities as fa as presents go.

Having said that, December was just as joyful and filled with celebration, love, expectation and yes, presents, for them as well. The month kicked off with the advent calendar that not only lasted all throughout the month Read More
Shiny new gifts
We’ve been on a decluttering journey this year, with minimalism as the end goal. Now, it’s always commenable to reach for the stars but in our case minimalism is a very lax term. It means having less posessions, avoid impulse buys, bring into the house only things we really love and will appreciate long into the future, Read More
My life with a Lego addict
This is what my bathtub looked like just a few weeks ago. What you’re looking at is approximately 4000€ worth of Legos; 30 kg, give or take a kilogram. For a few hundred euros we got them off a lady whose teenaged son stopped playing with his Lego collection a couple of years ago, therefore she saw Read More
This is us
This is us, a family of four, living our expat life in the tiny Grand Dutchy of Luxembourg. Originally from a slightly bigger Slovenia, we moved our life up north, where we have built all anew – from everyday banalities like finding our favourite cafe and the nearest grocery store, making new friends and getting Read More
