Happy Thursday, guys! ✨

I’m currently hard at work editing a new German-themed video for this channel!

In the meantime, I’d love for you to check out my latest upload on my new channel, The Zestful Nest.
If you’re interested in underconsumption, de-influencing, and practical money-saving tips, I think you’ll really enjoy the content over there.🌿

Thanks for your amazing support as always!

Happy Friday, guys,

I’ve missed you all so much!
I'm officially back to posting my regular German-themed videos here, starting next week. 🙌

In the meantime, I’ve just posted my second video on my new channel, The Zestful Nest. If you’re into frugal living, underconsumption, and deinfluencing, I’d love for you to check it out and become one of my first subscribers over there. 🤍

Thanks for your awesome support, as always.

I'll see you back here very soon!

Hey guys!

I'm feeling a mix of nervous and excited to share this with you all – a little passion project I’ve been working on behind the scenes!
It's my new YouTube channel called The Zestful Nest.

I created this space to dive deeper into ideas that I think will resonate with many of you. It's dedicated to exploring how we can live fulfilling lives with less stress and consumption, focusing on...

●De-influencing & Mindful Choices: Cutting through the noise to focus on what truly adds value to our lives.

●Frugal Fashion & Beauty: Mastering the art of looking fabulous without conforming to over-consumption.

●Simplifying Motherhood: Less stress, more room for joy and connection.

●The Pursuit of Financial Freedom: Practical tips and insights for living well on less.

If these topics sound like something you would enjoy, I would be so grateful if you joined me over there.
I posted my first video today, and honestly, with only 12 views and 3 subscribers so far, I’m feeling a bit lost in the YouTube algorithm! 😂

Your support would truly mean the world to me as I start this new adventure.
And don't worry – I will absolutely still be posting here on Antoinette Emily!
I just felt the urge to spread my wings and try something new.

Thank you all so much for being here!

I was honoured to be a special guest recently on the Podcast ''The Germany Experience'' with Shaun Behrens. I share the story of how I came to Germany for love, culture shock, the importance of having international friends in Germany, raising bilingual children, why you probably shouldn't build a house in Germany, and, of course, my YouTube channel.

I have always been incredibly proud of my big sister Simone, but this is just beyond!
The powerful piece she wrote for the New York Times about the reality of working as an ICU nurse on the COVID frontlines in NYC has touched so many.
I have linked one of many TV interviews she has done in the last few days if you're interested in taking a look.
Please keep my sister in your prayers.

Morning guys,
We were all so excited waking up to this beautiful snowfall outside our window.

February has been a very challenging month for us with nonstop illnesses in our family. First Emilia came down with the flu which later progressed into viral pneumonia (Lungenentzündung) 😔 Halfway through her recovery Matteo and I also came down with a bad case of the flu and as you can imagine it was an absolute nightmare with us all so sick at the same time. (Thankfully Rob has managed to stay healthy so far)
We are still not feeling 100% but I promised the kids we can wrap up warm and go outside to have some fun in the snow⛄️❄️

I’m sorry there has been no video this week but I promise to be back in action very soon.

Just a follow up on our lovely German bus driver (You will know what I'm talking about if you watched my last video) This morning he handed Emilia and Matteo this bag filled with chocolate from ''St Nikolaus''
If there was an award for most adorable bus driver it would go to him!
