Warmth for the heart & joy in little things 🧸✨ | Cosy moments, kind words & everyday magic | Faith, love & a sprinkle of festive delight ⛄❤️🌸

POSTS STORIES REELS

Last weekend, I received a deeply personal Cameo from Doug Jones @actordougjones .
It was full of kindness, humor, depth – and a message that struck right to the heart.
And today, I’d love to share a little piece of that with you:

Sometimes all it takes is a few loving words.
A human being with an open heart.
And suddenly, something inside you shifts.
Doug said something to me that I had never truly been able to believe:
That I am good – just as I am.
And yes, that's true! 💫

For far too long, I thought I had to please everyone.
That I wasn’t allowed to show my true self – because it was “too much,” “too wrong,” "too ugly," or “unlovable.”
These thoughts made me small. Silent. Conforming.

But today I know:
These voices that say, “You’re not enough” – they can grow quieter. Or disappear completely. And yes – that is so relieving!

Yes, God has a plan! And I can finally let go and feel held. 🕊️

Right now, I feel so much love in my life.
From my wonderful husband. From other kind-hearted people 🫶 – and from God.
And that’s exactly what I want to pass on.
That’s why I created this little account.

I’m not here to sell anything.
I just want to share love. Kindness. And a little laughter.
And a little cinnamon – because I love Christmas. 🎄✨
(So don’t be surprised if things get a little festive around here, even off-season. ⛄🩷)

Maybe this post will remind just one person - maybe you - how precious you are. 🩷 How deeply you are loved. That you are good just the way you are and don’t have to listen to those inner voices anymore.
And – as Doug reminded me so beautifully – every day can be a gift, full of blessings and surprises you never expected. 💝🕊️

Doug @actordougjones – thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful Cameo, and for what you shared with me. Your words touched and strengthened something deep inside me – and I am so very grateful. 💗

And dear Laurie @auntielaurbabe – sending you heartfelt greetings and thanks, too. I truly appreciate your love and kindness. 🤗

To both of you – and to everyone who might need it right now – I’m sending love, God’s blessings, and the quiet hope that never fades. 🙏🌸✨

Today we are celebrating the day we decided to become a couple. 🥰❤️

Back in 2008, we met at the end of November at a Christmas market in "Bad Münster am Stein". 🥹🎄
Our second date followed just a few days later at the Sternschnuppenmarkt (Shooting Star Christmas market) in Wiesbaden. ✨

And from the 14th of December 2008 on, we have been inseparable. 🥰

We even went on our first little holiday together over New Year’s Eve to Hamburg, visiting more Christmas markets and celebrating New Year with mulled wine at a Christmas market by the Alster. 😍🎄🍷🎆

What a blessing it is to have found my heart person — and that our story began just like a romantic Christmas film. 🤭🥰⛄🎄❤️✨

There is something truly magical about two hearts beating as one. 🥹❤️✨

Such deep love, connection and romance — a blessing like this is what I wish for everyone in the world. 🙏❤️

Wishing you a beautiful 3rd Advent filled with love and Christmas magic, my lovely friends 🥰🎄✨

✨ 🕯️ 🥰 🕯️ 🎄 🕯️ ✨

Sammy says… 🧸❄️

…I love snow, even if it’s only for a short while. 🤍❄️

This morning I woke up to the sounds of snow being shuffled outside, so I went straight to the balcony to catch a little glimpse of this lovely white surprise. 🤍❄️

Even though it’s all gone now, I’m a happy bear. 🧸✨

It looked so peaceful and beautiful – absolutely worth getting up for. ❄️🤍

Sometimes it only takes a small moment, a little pause, to feel deeply happy. 🤍✨

Wishing you a lovely week filled with many gentle moments that touch your heart in the most beautiful way. 🐻❤️✨

❄️ 🧸 🤍 ☃️ ✨

For all my lovely photo lovers… here's a closer look at our little pumpkin vampire! 🎃🧛‍♂️📸

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

May I present to you:

Our pumpkin vampire of the year! 🎃🦇

He's waiting to sink his fangs into all the sweet treats that come his way. 🎃

But I'm not quite sure whether his next treat will be the sweets in your pumpkin bucket… or YOUUUUU! 😜🎃🧛‍♀️🩸🍬🍭

Happy Halloween, my spooky friends! May the witches, ghosts, vampires and zombies treat you kindly tonight. 🖤🧛‍♀️👻🧟‍♀️🎃✨

OMG! There's a Pasta Monster on my plate! 😱👀🍝

I was just about to enjoy some of my homemade chicken pasta casserole with its tempting cheddar crust when, quite unexpectedly… the pasta gave me a look! 👀🍝

And guess what? It looked at me again on my plate! 😱👀🍝

After the first shock, I thought it looked kind of cute, so I patted its cheddar-crusted head. 🥰

I asked my hubby if we could keep it. He said, “No!” So I devoured the Pasta Monster. 🤷‍♀️😂

The shock is over, and my tummy is full. 😋

Bye-bye, Pasta Monster! You were delicious, though! 🤭👀🍝

Wishing you a monstrously good evening, my friends! And remember: eat your food before it eats you! 😜👀🍝
