As parents we know how precious those few extra minutes can be, so we try our best to come up with solutions, while staying true to our aims of being sustainable and living a more natural lifestyle. We hope you will find something here that helps you enjoy life.

We are Heidi and Holger, wife and husband, parents of three kids, working from our home in Germany. Heidi is a trained nurse, intuitive eating and body image coach, and stress management trainer. Holger is an IT manager for a global nonprofit organisation, and a business student. Together we run our small company that provides coaching and a few blogs, although most of them are in German.
