Wonder Woman.
(I need those arm bracelets ASAP!) So I saw Wonder Woman the other day even though superhero movies are not my thing at all. Or to pay $ 20 for a movie. In addition, whenever a movie is announced to be two-hour and twenty one…

Minimalism Journey: Decluttering my Son’s Room.
My son and I had been sick with pneumonia a couple of weeks ago and I started this little project of decluttering his room. We spent a lot of time inside since he had a high fever and the weather here in Canada was/is way…
Control Freak.
I have an appointment. I leave my house on time (German time) to be there early enough so I won’t have to stress out. Out of nowhere there is this insane traffic and I am stuck in it. Initially (three minutes or so), I wait…
