Why I am not blogging as much....

I have gotten some questions about the activity on my blog. Recently I have not been as consistent in updating as I would have liked to. Here are some of the reasons:

• House hunting has not been the best experience and took a lot longer than expected/ planned.
• Finn stopped napping for good, so "my" two hours during nap time are gone and those were my prime blogging hours. Now I usually put Lilly down and then spend time with Finn.
• Our corporate apartment ran out and we had to move into another apartment as we can not move into our house until the end of July (finding new place, packing, moving, unpacking, going to Ikea - all with 2 little ones is not that easy).
• We did not have internet for about a week when we moved into our new place - which I actually liked as the kids watched less TV.
• And I actually try to really cut down on screen time. We have been using the TV/ iPad/ iPhone as an electronic babysitter way to much in the past months. The situation has not been perfect (different apartments, crazy schedule, no school yet, no new friends and help yet, etc.) and I have to admit that the electronic babysitter came in handy. But it got to the point where they always wanted to watch TV, play games on the iPad or watch videos on the iPhone and I hated it. So I decided to cut down on it drastically again - but that also meant for myself to be a good role model. Not look at my iPhone all the time, not be in front of the laptop all the time, but to spend more time with them and to do stuff together.

Having said all of this, I will still try to continue writing about our life. I just hope that once we are in our house, that we will fall into a routine and that I will have more time for myself again.

And now let's see what fun stuff we have done in the past weeks...
