So, it’s the time of the year again, when my humans go on holiday and, as always, I go with them. This time I chose Red to go with me because, from past time experience ,I know that Wondy doesn’t really like the seaside. Her hair gets greasy and her face spotty. I hoped Red would be more resistent.

Day 1 – Journey

On the first day we had a long journey by car. We made quite a few breaks and had food. Well, it was not the best kind of food to get along the motorway. Quite fatty and unhealthy. Exactly what I like, but Red didn’t enjoy it. I think mommy didn’t like it either.

Towards the end of the journey the traffic was quite bad so it was 6 o’clock in the evening until we finally arrived in the rented flat.

Day 2 – Chilling

Mommy didn’t feel very well today, so we stayed indoors. We chilled and recovered from the journey. Red decided to read a book while I played computer games. It was quite funny and relaxing.

Day 3 – Büsum

We went on a tour of Büsum today. It was quite funny – so many thing to see. There is a harbour with a small lighthouse and many ships.

At lunch our humans ate fish in a restaurant.

We preferred to eat our fish rolls outside as the weather was quite good.

Day 4 – Phänomania

Today we visited an interesting Museum – Phänomania.

It was full of experiments – we had a lot of fun.

Day 5 – Helgoland

We went to Helgoland by ship today. Well – Mommy was sick again. She should have known better after the experience she had in Ireland last year. But she wanted to go to Helgoland – so it’s her fault. Luckily the trip was shorter than the one to the Aran Islands last year. Helgoland was quite funny…

We went on a walk around the island. The coast is interesting.

And there are many seabirds.

At the end we relaxed in the harbour and enjoyed the colourful fishermen’s houses.

Luckily the sea was very quiet on the way back to Büsum, so we all got home well without further sea sickness incidents.

Day 6 – Friedrichskoog

We went to a seal station in Friedrichskoog today. There are many baby seals that were found without parents. As soon as they are big enough they will be released into the wilderness again. But there are also some permanent residents which cannot go back into the wild for different reasons. We saw how they were fed.

I was not allowed to ride on a seal’s back so I had fun in different other ways.

Day 7 – Writing my little black book

Today our humans went shopping in town. We decided to stay at home so that I could write my diary. Hope you enjoy it.

It’s already June again which means another beautiful MerMay is over. Lets remember it.

There were many things going on. Under the sea….

1. Posea’s Mermaid Grotto

2. Arielle and her sisters

3. The Lagoona Blue sisters

4. Mermaid Concert

5. Arielle and her friend.

6. Underwater restaurant

7. Diving experience

8. Mermaid encounter

But there were interesting things going on over the sea as well.

1. Rita in a very elegant sailor inspired outfit.

2. Treasure hunt on the beach

3. Vanessa and Serena going on a cruise

4. More sailor inspired outfits

5. Mei Ling and Max walking on the beach

6. Athena – grumpy as always

7. Barbie-Ann walking her dog on the beach

We are looking forward to MerMay 2026.

This year, like every year, it was FedCon time again. It was the first time I decided to take a doll with me. It was not easy to decide which one to chose. But then I decided to take the Samantha Cristoforetti astronaut doll – because I knew people from esa would be there, too.

We went a day earlier because Thursday was a bank holiday in Germany (Ascension), so we could check in and get all the things ready for the big weekend.

We went to Vapiano and had lunch. I think Samantha enjoyed it.

Then we went for a walk about Bonn…

… until it was time to check in…..

… bring our things into the room…

…. check out the surroundings….

… and end the day with a drink in the bar.

On Friday Samantha put on her space suit to show that she knows a lot about space and impress the people from esa.

We enjoyed different panels….

… and had lunch outside, in front of the hotel. There was quite a choice of street food.

On Saturday Samantha wanted to dress up. She decided to wear a Star Wars outfit because there were lots of photo points to take pictures and many other peopke were also dressed up.

Time passed very quickly. There were so many things to do and see, that we didn’t even manage everything. Then it was already Sunday … the last day. Samantha enjoyed the last panels …

and the Closing Ceremony.

By, bye FedCon – we’ll be back next year.

We had a lot of fun on our short trip to Madrid last week. Odile and Coralie were very excited to go by plane, so they explored the airport and were amazed at the many planes they saw there. There was also a little bit of art to have fun with.

By early afternoon we reached our flat in the city centre. The girls had fun exploring it.

After relaxing a bit we went out to eat something.

And then walked around the city a little.

The next day after breakfast we had a tour of the city in a bus which started and ended at the Prado museum.

We had lunch and then … Churros con chocolate.

After that we went to El Corte Inglés – a huge department store with a nice view of the city from the top …

… and a big department of toys. The girls had a lot of fun – and I bought two new dolls 🙂

In the evening we attended a Flamenco tablao with tapas and Sangria – without the girls…

…who also had a lot of fun in our apartment.

On Thursday we walked through the streets and in the late morning visited the Reina Sofia Museum. We saw the Guernica painting and they also had a Flamenco department.

The girls had fun in the museum gardens.

For lunch we had burritos.

We walked over the Plaza Mayor …

… Puerta del Sol with the famous statue…

… to the Palacio Real.

The girls had ice-cream in the garden because it was so hot.

On the last day after breakfast we just walked a little about the city and visited different places like the Puerta de Toledo.

And then it was already time to go to the airport and fly back home.

We came back with lots of nice impressions and many souvenirs.

On Sunday the girls helped me make a tortilla de patatas.

I think the girls are looking forward to cooking more Spanisch meals.

Easter was a fun time for my dolls and me.

First Bunny was very busy with all the preparations.

On Easter Sunday the Rainbow High dolls had a great Egg Hunt in the garden.

On Easter Monday Lucywenn and Vivian wanted to go for a walk. The weather was windy and cloudy so the walk was quite short. But, at least they visited the Easter decorations in the village centre.

And of course there was a new doll in the Easter basket – meet Mickey by Jakks Pacific. I finally found one of these dolls.

I realised that I have collected quite a few LOL surprise dolls. Here they are.

So, of course, I had to build a little space for them. I decided on a boutique – because they are fashionable girls and have quite a few outfits and accessories. There is also a little place to chill and put on make up.

Then there is a toy store – a place to keep all the mini toys.

And a little photo corner for the most fashionable LOL girls.

Her are a few views of the store diorama when full of dolls.

The big sisters usually take care of the toddlers. Sometimes even outside the usual space – this is a very hard job.

This year we celebrated New Year’s Eve quietly at home without much ado. My girls, on the contrary, dressed very elegantly and enjoyed big parties. Here are some of the outfits.

Big party in Dolliewood.

In Dollietown there was a big outdoor party.

Well, it looks like the Monster High Dolls Gen3 really got me. I would never have thought to like them so much. So here are my Christmas dolls.

The second day of Xmas is usually not that busy. We enjoyed a classical Christmas concert – and so did the girls.

Christmas morning is always a time to relax, enjoy cookies and hot chocolate in front of the fireplace – of course wearing Xmas PJs.

Then the preparations start for the evening. There is usually a big dinner.

Followed by games …

… and story telling.

Some of the girls like to enjoy the beautirful lights outside.

Of course many girls are wearing Xmas sweaters.
