Vivre l’amour

 

A love relationship needs attention to feel light and alive. It doesn’t take much time, but once in a while you can celebrate your love. You spend a moment together as a couple and the feeling of togetherness awakens anew. Routine is often a real relationship killer, so variety is needed in the design of moments together.

For this ceremony you will need a garden, a balcony, or a picnic basket and a blanket or a place where you can dine together in nature, e.g. a park bench. The best places are romantic places where you can watch the sunset.

For two, you can have a wonderful candlelit dinner in the open air on a beautiful summer evening. To do this, you can uncover or pack everything you need for dinner. I have a tablecloth, napkins, cutlery, candles, flowers and vase, as well as everything you find in the restaurant on the table (salt/pepper shakers, bread basket, water bottle, wine cooler, etc).

You are free to design and creatively change this ceremony. If you have children, let them dress up like you and play waiter. If they are too young, put them to bed first, or let them watch a series or a movie in another room. You can make the food yourself, order it or have it delivered. If you prepare it yourself, make sure you pack it accurately when you go on a picnic. You can light incense, make a bonfire, light torches, or set up lanterns. The fire should rekindle the love and you will spend a nice romantic evening together!

You can use this ceremony for your anniversary, to propose (don’t forget the flowers – you can also use rose petals) or as a surprise for your partner.

If you go into nature you can also spray yourself with Autan if you can’t stand mosquito bites or are allergic. Customize this for yourselves.

 

Have fun with your celebration of love!

Ostera

 

March 20/21 is the spring equinox. On this day the day is as long as the night. It heralds the turning point, the light triumphs over darkness. And because of the light, plants can flourish and grow. So this turning point also represents growth, fertility, new beginnings, life and vitality. In the past, this moment was especially celebrated. But March 21 is also the feast of the Celtic goddess of spring and fertility, Ostera.

 

 

The egg is particularly revered at this time, as it also represents the birth of the new, growth and life. With the family on this day you can hang the eggs in the garden, decorate the house for Easter, plant cress in a small bowl, look for and tie together soon blooming branches for a door wreath or decorate them in a vase in the house  and in the evening make a small fire outside or in the fireplace and read Easter stories or explain the spring equinox. There are no limits to the imagination. So even the little ones learn what it has to do with these festivals.

 

Enjoy this special time of joy and light with your loved ones!

Advent ceremony

 

At Advent, it’s especially nice to have a family ritual. You can bake and decorate different cookies together. A homemade children’s punch with cloves, cinnamon and star anise gets the whole family in the mood for Christmas and the kitchen smells of the finest herbs.
In the afternoon, when it is already dark outside, you can gather together in a circle and take a seat in front of the fireplace to eat the cookies and drink children’s punch. Each member of the family who can already read can read a Christmas story and sing Christmas carols together.

Who is allowed to light the candles from the Advent wreath, the tea light from the incense burner, or put on the incense mixture, for example, is decided by lot. Each child draws a small stone from the medicine bag.
This keeps the atmosphere harmonious and everyone gets their money’s worth.
At the end you can also ask questions like:
– Everyone says what they are grateful for (this year),
– Everyone tells the other what he is particularly good at,
– Everyone tells the other what he wishes for the other in 2022…

Drums and rattles can also be included. Children love to perform ceremonies and especially to try themselves musically.

You can end the evening together with a nice filmed fairy tale (such as Fantagiro or Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella, etc.). The children will certainly remember this for a long time.

Enjoy the time together with your loves!

Delicious Strawberry Cake

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

 

 

This strawberry cake has always been made this way in my family and it tastes best to us.

 

You need the following ingredients

 

Preheat the oven to 180°. Beat the eggs with the sugar until frothy. Then gradually add flour and baking powder and mix. Now add salt, lemon juice and sunflower oil and stir again until the dough is smooth.

Grease the cake tin and place on the baking paper. Now use a pencil to draw the cake tin to show the outlines on the baking paper. Then cut out with scissors. Place the cut baking paper in the cake tin and fill the dough into the cake tin. Bake it in the preheated oven at 180°.

After 15 to 20 minutes, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a grid.

If you make your own vanilla pudding, you can prepare it in the meantime according to the package instructions and let it cool down.

Now remove the cake from the cake tin with a sharp knife and turn the cake over onto the grate.

Heat the chocolate in a water bath according to the instructions until it has melted completely. Under no circumstances should it burn. Spread the liquid chocolate on the biscuit cake base and allow to dry.

In the meantime, the strawberries can be washed, halved and set aside.

Then spread the cooled pudding on the biscuit cake base. Now spread the strawberries on the cake. Best from the inside to outside. Mix the cake glaze according to instructions and spread on the strawberries and let dry.

 

 

The delicious strawberry cake is ready.
