Can't Wait ...

As you can imagine, we are beyond excited for our baby. :)

With less than 2 weeks until my due dated, I am really excited (and sometimes scared) how our lives will change with the baby.

For today I brought a few photos of my baby bump. :)

Photo credit goes to my wonderfully talented cousin.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a wonderful new week.

Mushrooms Filled With Feta

For today I brought you a really quick but really delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

Champion mushrooms (white or brown, it doesn't matter)

olive oil

grinded pepper

chives (or any other green spice of your choice)

Feta cheese

How to make it?

Wash the mushrooms thoroughly.  Remove the stems. Take an oven pan and put the mushrooms into it (the hole where the stems were need to look upwards). Spread some grinded pepper on the mushrooms. Put the Feta into the hole where  the stem was. Strew the chives on the feta. Add 1/2 dl water into the pan  and put it into the oven for 15 minutes.  

I usually serve them with rice.

Enjoy!

Stretch Mark Combat On!

I think almost every woman is afraid of stretch marks. 

I am as well. Exactly that is the reason why I use several products simultaneously. :)

I know that it might seem stupid because this way I will not be able to say which product was the one that helped but I hope that their effects add up together and will work wonder. :)

First I started to use Schussler, in the early stage of my pregnancy I thought that no oils were essential (yet).

Later I received a bottle of Bi-Oil from my sister who thinks that it is a wonderful product for almost all your skin problems.

Then, as I mentioned my husband several times that I am afraid of stretch marks, I received two different products from him: Mama streifenlos body oil by Bellybutton with grape seed oil and Mama massage oil by Penaten with soy oil and lecithin.

Later on, my sister read an article about a product that promised no stretch marks and contained royal jelly. As our father is a bee-keeper, we believe in everything  with honey, royal jelly or propolis. :) So she bought me Mamma Bee's belly cream.

Until now I have no stretch marks which is promising but my pregnancy is not over. I hope that I will be lucky enough to write down the same sentence after giving birth. :)

How about you mothers and mothers-to-be?

What is your secret wonder method against stretch marks?

Thanks for reading.
