New store item: Maxipes Fik pants for babies/ Novinka: mininkovske kalhoty s Fikem

Babies and Maxipes Fik go so well together! That’s why I designed a pair of pants just for them! They are cute, unique and made out of 100% organic cotton.

The price ranges from $21.99 for the littlest peanuts to about $24.99 for the older babies (plus $3.99 for shipping and handling).

Adult sizes (maybe a pair for your dear hubby?) – although a bit more expensive – are also available.:). [click to continue…]

Breaking news (chocolate related)! / Zhava novinka (cokoladoveho razu)!

ATTENTION to all fellow Czechs and Slovaks (or anyone who likes  good chocolate): You will be happy to know that Target now carries Milka – the best German chocolate ever. Unfortunately, it carries only one type, which is the ‘boring’ milk chocolate Milka. My all-time favorite is yogurt Milka, which still has not made it to the US.

I took that picture in Target so that you know I am not making things up ;)

CZ: POZOR, DULEZITE HLASENI! Target nyni prodava cokoladu Milku. OPAKUJI: Target nyni prodava cokoladu Milku!!!! Je to sice jen ‘nudna’ mlecna cokolada, ale snad nam brzy dovezou zajimavejsi prichute, jako je napriklad jogurtova Milka – moje oblibena!!

New year, new look! / Novy Rok, novy vzhled!

Finally, the promised Christmas present is here! No, it’s not the chocolate cake like the one in the picture and yes, it came a bit late….but it is here! The Czechmate Diary went through a face-lift and I love the outcome of it. How about you?

So what did I do:

1. I added the flags

Duh! They should have been here a long time ago!

2. I made the title look a bit more rustic and adventurous

3. I added the old map in the background

I came across this old map which reminds me of a travel, a long voyage and old leathery diaries. Also if you look at the full map (attached) you will see that there is a magnificent ship traveling from Europe to America, all the way across the Atlantic ocean. That is the story of my life. I took a long journey across the Atlantic ocean  to America to start a new life and share my impressions with you guys.

4. I updated all of the technical stuff, plug-ins, html codes, widgets..blah, blah, blah….you get the point.

ENJOY!

Czech e-books on line and free! / Ceske elektronicke knihy zdarma!

e-book google imageAre you tired of asking your friends and relatives to send you Czech/Slovak books? The situation gets really uncomfortable: books are usually heavy and the postage fee ends up being ridiculously high and you end up feeling totally guilty since your friend/relative pays that fee without wanting you to to pay him back.

Forget these awkward moments because I have recently discovered  a Czech website which has electronic books on-line! All you have to do is register and start reading :-) (click here).

CZ: Ja nevim jak vy, ale ja mam ohromny seznam ceskych knih, ktere mym rodicum postupne posilam, aby mi one knihy preposlali do USA. Problem je v tom, ze knihy jsou tezke a postovne je diky tomu nesmirne drahe. Vzdycky je mi mych rodicu/kamaradu lito, zo to plati, aniz by chteli neco nazpatek.

Provnile pocity ted uz ale muzeme vsichni hodit do kose, ponevadz jsem nasla tzv. Imperium elektronickych knih, kde si muzete elektronicke knihy precitat zdarma. Staci se jen zaregistrovat a zacit cist!
