Pacific Ocean Swimming
The weather has been nice and sunny and I have recently started training more regularly for a future triathlon. So I figured: why not jump into the Pacific for some open water swimming? The ocean here is cold! My first attempt ended after 5minutes. I figured that a normal swim cap and my tri suit…

Ambleside Beach
Ambleside Beach in West Vancouver is one of my favorite places. Not only in the summer. One can reach it via the Spirit Trail by bike, there is enough parking in the area, great restaurants and many kilometers of promenade walkway along the shore. See for yourself:

Kid-friendly Hike near Munich: from Schliersee to Schliersbergalm
In 2019 we were new to Munich and young twin parents, yet trying to enjoy Munich’s surrounding nature. Our first hike was up to Schliersbergalm. Although Schliersee is so close (easily reachable by train, about 35Minutes by car from Munich), it is a different world: scenic views, Bavarian food, kid-friendly Alm with a playground. Over…

A festival of love and friendship
Four years ago Pouya and I celebrated our marriage in Austria. A version of this post has been slowly descending on my draft list. Too early, too pregnant, too much with twins, too Corona.

Brunnsteinhütte – a sustainable and family-friendly…

Full-time work and full-time twin mom: the how-to guide in times of a global pandemic
The plan was perfect: take a little time to ease back into work by working part-time while my husband would get our twin girls started in daycare. Then, by May, he would drop the kiddos off in the morning and I would pick them up in the afternoon. Then Corona happened. The reality is this:…

Twin Update: Welcome, Aria & Kiana
On July 3rd at night we were able to welcome our twin girls. I was told they entered this world screaming – a positive sign for preemies. They weighed a smashing 1300 & 1600g and from the very first day were showing the nurses and us quite some attitude given their size 😉. The names:…

The everything will be fine-people
Twin-Update: We have made it to full 31weeks of pregnancy. Both girls are tiny for their gestational age, their dopplers are within range (not great, yet not concerning). They are very active in my tummy which, in general, a good sign. Within the next three weeks the doctors will get them. Since they are still…

Couch Rest, week one: A Recap
Baby Updates first: Given we only had laser fetoscopic surgery last week the babies are recovering as good as they could. Fetus 1 is alive, has a normal amount of amniotic water for the first time. By no means does this mean they are out of the woods, but it does give us cause to…
