Ada Painting / Ada slika

~ au

A thing Ada loves to do is to paint. She spends some 15-20 min with it which is something like an eternity in her world. In the last picture one can see the ” a man” painted when reciting the story of cika glisa…She loves it and repeats it when I tell her 🙂20160129_125752_resized20160129_125809_resized20160129_132855_resized20160129_140631_resized 20160129_140638_resized 20160129_140649_resized
Ada voli slikati/ farbati vodenim bojama. I jednom kad sjedne sa bojama ona sjedi mirno nekih 15-20 min sto je jedna vjecnost u njezinom svijetu. U zadnjoj slici vidite “cika glisu”. Ada voli da joj ga crtam i recitujem dok ona ponavlja za mnom 🙂

Cika glisa
Tacka tacka tackica,  (crtate oci i nos)
crta crta crtica,       (crtate obrve  usne)
gotova je glavica.
Usi culi, (crtate usi itd.)
Tanak vrat;
A stomak k´o crkveni sat,
Noge, ruke kao u misa,
Gotov je cika glisa 😀

Winterspielplatz

~ au

The morning we spent with Ada´s dear friend Kian and his mother. I have heard of it but now was the first time I went to the Winterspielplatz. We arrived around 10h and where among the last ones to be let in because they are getting full very fast. The staff is friendly, it is for free 😀 so I recommend this place if you do not mind having hundred screaming kids around you…The pics were taken when all the children went out.

Jutro smo proveli sa Adinim dragim prijateljem Kianom i njegovom mamom. Culi smo za ovo, ali pp prvi put smo bile u Winterspielplatz-u. Stigli smo poprilicno kasno, oko 10h i bili smo medju zadnjima koje su pustili da udju jer je vec puna sala bila. Osoblje je jako prijatno, dzabe je tako da vam preporucujem da dodjete ako vam ne smeta neki stotinu vristajuce djece. ..Slike sam uspijela uslikati kad su sva djeca izasla.

Swimming

~ au

I believe that the best thing to do with children is to go swimming. At least this is what Ada thinks. Surprisingly, I never went to West bad indoors despite it being the closest indoor swimming pool, and I was positively surprised. It is a fantastic place for children. Ada was swimming for 2hrs making her very very tired , she fell asleep at 18.30h (ok, she woke up at 00h but that´s another story). We even made a fantastic selfie (not) after swimming, but then she started crying and wanted to go home.

To barem Ada smatra. Za divno cudo, iako nam je najblizi, nikada nisam otisla do West bad bazena. Bila sam pozitivno iznenadjena. Mjesto je san za djecu. Ada je dva sata plivala i naravno toliko se izmorila da je u 18.30h zaspala (ustala je doduse u 00h ali to je druga prica). Cak sam napravili fantastican selfie (ne bas) poslije kupanja, ali je tako postala kenkava da smo moral kuci.

 

Chilling in the library / Visenje u biblioteci

~ au

One of the dearest things when I was a child was to go to the library. There was this fountain/ pool with golden fish swimming around that fascinated me. There was also the cosy children´s corner with all the great books and favorite fairy tales. This positive feeling about libraries (and books) I want to project onto my daughter.
Said and done I brought my daughter to the library. I was, I admit a little bit surprised that they even have teddy bears around. Ada liked them very much 😀

Tamo je bila jedna fontana / bazencic gdje su zlatne ribice plivale i bile su mi, kao i svakom djetetu, tako fascinantne i lijepe. Bio je tamo i jedan udobni djeciji cosak sa svim mogucim knjigama i bajkama. Taj pozitivni osjecaj hocu da prenesem na Adu tako da smo nas dvije otisle zajedno u biblioteku. Ada je bila odusevljena, pogotovo medama koje, priznajem, nisam ocekivala u biblioteci 😀

Good foundation / Dobra fondacija

~ au

I admit, I am no lover of foundations or powders.  I tried many different labels and different products, every time I felt the products like a plastic layer over my face. I was suggested the “Miracle air de teint” (Lancome) foundation by a girl, and I have to say it is first time ever I actually liked a foundation. Miracle air de teint is a light cover foundation feeling very soft on the skin. The skin absorbs it right away and feels nice and soft afterwards. I definitely recommend it!

Priznajem, nisam fan nekih pudera i fondacija. Probala sam dosta raznih marki i raznih produkata, ali svaki put mi se osjecalo kao da sam namazala kilu plastike na lice. Jedna cura mi je predlozila da probam “Miracle air de teint” (Lancome) fondaciju, i priznajem da mi se prvi put ikad svidja jedna fondacija.  Miracle air de teint (Lancome) fondacija je jedna lagana fondacija i osjeca se vrlo mekano na kozi. Koza odmah absorbira fondaciju i odmah se osjeca glatka. Definitivno je preporucujem!

Pinakothek der Moderne

~ au ~ 2 Comments

When it is cold outside a great place to visit with children is the Pinakothek der Moderne. Especially Sundays when tickets only cost 1 € (other days it cost 10€).  For the ones that do not know a  pinacotheca was a picture gallery in ancient Greece / Rome  (Greek: πινακοθήκη).
Last Sunday my friend Suada and I met at the museum with our families. Our children where exploring every corner of the museum so I believe they had some great time.
In the exhibition of “Sí/No: The architecture of urban think tank” (presented by the architecture museum TUM)  I found it impressing how people made such an interesting exhibition with by “only” presenting information. Unfortunately, with children we couldn´t stay long to read all the things written.
The collection of Modern Arts consists of over 3000 paintings that are exposed in 35 halls- all are not presented at once but they are rather rotating. We also visited the international design museum with the exhibitor Konstantin Grcic with his famous futuristic (at least to me they looked like it) chairs  and from there we went straight to the exhibition of jewelry.
BUT from all the pictures taken I liked the last one best. The expression, of a mother seeing her child in a “not so optimal situation”…is priceless 😀

Moderna pinakoteka je jedno predobro mjesto za posjetiti sa djecom kad je vani hladno. Pogotovo ako je nedjelja jer ulazne karte tad kostaju samo 1€ umjesto 10€. Za one koje ne znaju je pinacotheca jedna grcka rijec koja se koristila u staroj Grckoj/ Rimu za galeriju slika.
Prosle nedjelje smo moja prijateljica Suada i ja sa nasim familijama provele nekolika sata u muzeju. Djeca su nam svaki cosak muzeja izucavali tako da vjerujem da im je bilo lijepo.
Na izlozbi ” Sí/No: The architecture of urban think tank” (prezentiranom od arhitektnog muzeja TUM) me fasciniralo da ljudi naprave tako jednu zanimljivu izlozbu od “samo” teksta, izsjecaka tekstova i nekoliko slika. Nazalost kad su djeca tu, ne mozete stati i citati sve sto pise.
Kolekcija Moderne umjetnosti se inace sastoji od preko 3000 slika koje su prezentirane u 35 hala (mnogo mjesta za djecu da trckaraju). Naravno nisu sve slike istovremeno prikazane nego rotiraju tako da uvijek ima nesto ”novo” za vidjeti.
Bili smo isto u internacionalnom dizajnerskom muzeju gdje je Konstantin Grcic imao svoju izlozbu futuristicnih (meni su tako izgledale J) stolica a odatle smo nastavili do muzeja nakita, gdje su prikazivali interesantne objekte. Ali ipak na kraj dana mi je bila zadnja slika najbolja. Slika gdje Suada vidi svoje dijete kako nesto radi sto ne smije. Izraz, jedne majke kad vidi svoje dijete u jednoj ne bas optimalnoj situaciji…je neprocjenjiv 😀

 

Coral necklace in an unexpected place / Lancic od koralja na neocekivanom mjestu

~ au ~ Leave a comment

This weekend my friend Amra and went spontaneously to the flea market in the Post Palace. It gets very obvious how much our society is in this consume mode when visiting such a place. So many things people get “tired off” but that are absolutely fine and some people in this . Maybe the next step will be to get a stand and sell off my things that I do not use, but that are good. This time I bought a toy for my daughter and I got myself a coral necklace (?). These are (luckily) for years forbidden to make, so imagine my surprise to see it at the flea market (even if they are old). leksakkorallOvog vikenda sam spontano otisla na buvljak u Post Palace sa mojom prijateljicom Amrom. Kad dodjem na onakvo mjesto budem svjesna koliko mi ustvari konzumiramo i koja je to ustvari bolest i potreba da sve imamo novo. Toliko je ljudi bilo na buvljaku sa toliko raznih stvari koje su ustvari super, samo treba prebroditi u sebe da sve stvari nisu nove.
Slijedeci korak je da uzmem stand drugi put i da pocnem prodavati svoje stvari. Bolje to nego da stoje i kupe prasinu kod kuce.
Ovog puta sam imala neku ludu srecu. Adi sam kupila igrackicu a sebi jedan crveni lancic od koralja. Vec je godinama zabranjeno praviti nakit od koralja tako da sam se bas zacudila kad sam vidjela lancic na buvljaku (iako nije nov).

DIY with children / Igra djecom

~ au ~ Leave a comment

I saw this on the blog of kreativa karin, where also the picture are taken from… and I loved it. This is great for spending some time with children and it is cheap. Use some toilet rolls and some colors and let (childrens) imagination work. Screenshot_3Djur_1_stående-683x1024 Djur_3-683x1024 Djur_5_Lena-683x1024  t
Ovo sam vidjela na blogu od kreativa karin, odakle sam i slike skinula. I ideja mi je preslatka. Super je ako hocete provesti par sati sa djecom, a i jeftino je. Znaci koristite toalet role, bojice i pustite mastu da radi.

H&M Stocks / H&M Dionice

~ au ~ Leave a comment

I previously wrote about my plan to have a portfolio (old post) where I can get some dividend every month. For some time the stock market is shaky, and when the old classic stock H&M finally dropped under 280 kr I decided to buy a couple for my daughter. I will keep them for at least five years unless something unexpected happens.
For people that want to start buying stocks maybe it is time to get some cash and start following the market. It is going down, so during some time there might be a possibility to get some stable companies for a fair price. Warren-Buffett-Life-QuotesPisala sam prije (stari post) o mom planu da svakog mjesec dobijem dividendu. Berza se trese vec nekog vremena, i kad su dionice poput H&M pale ispod 280kr tad sam odlucila uzeti par kcerci. Drzacu ih bar pet godina  ako se ne desi nesto neplanirano.
Za ljude koji hoce da pocnu kupovati dionice mozda je vrijeme da stede kes, i da pocnu pratiti berzu. Berza dosta fluktuira pa se mogu ponekad firme za dobru cijenu dobiti.
