We have been dreaming to travel to South Africa with kids for a long time! But we never found the right moment. When we lived in the USA, we wanted to discover all the beautiful and adventurous highlights North America has to offer. And when we moved back to Amsterdam in December 2017, I immediately got pregnant with Boudewijn. Once Boudewijn had a good age to go, I...

It's like we were living a dream when we travelled to Cape Town with kids! In October 2021, we flew from Amsterdam to South Africa with our 3 year old and 3 months old boys! For 10 days, we stayed in this beautiful city that offers the most incredible nature, insanely beautiful beaches, astonishing views over the sea, adventurous hikes, delicious restaurants, amazing playgrounds, excellent and child-friendly hotels...

During this time year, when the days get shorter and darker, I always find myself wanting to re-decorate the house. To make it more cozy, to add candles on the tables, blankets on the couch and to renew the decoration. As you know from this post two years ago, home decoration is taken very seriously in this house and needs to be perfect. Back then, we gave our...

It's almost Christmas time! We basically missed the first half of the December month due to some bad viruses! Bou was the one who got sick, then I followed him and finally it caught my husband as well. I actually can't remember when I was this sick so I'm very happy that this is in the past now. We traded the sickness in for the Christmas tree, decorated...

Fall is not my favourite season. The rain, the wind, the dark days - I almost find it depressing. I like the sun, the colors, the light while people are out until late, and dressed in open dresses and shorts! So I ran away to the south of Spain, to extend summer for as long as I could. But unfortunately I couldn’t hide there for three months, so...

Since my mini arrived, I have been loving to match my outfit to his. If he wears jeans, I will put on denim trousers. Whenever he wears a cap, I will do too. I bought a similar striped seersucker pants after he got a pair and will do the same with his shoes. He just turned one and is very close to taking his first steps. On the...

No Bag, No Story! – As you might know these four words constitute my personal motto. A bag is the most important accessory as it defines your style, distinguish yourself from others, completes the outfit and carries your world. It is therefore not without reason that many different bags have been designed and made through the years in terms of various models, by different brands, in diverse price ranges,...

If you have been following me, you probably know about my love for the United States and my passion for discovering new places. So, when we were planning our trip from Salt Lake City to Kansas City, with stops in Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Cody and Denver we knew this trip was a great recipe for success. However, it exceeded all our expectations and Kansas...

When I found out that I was pregnant, I was obviously thrilled and over excited that we were expecting a little bundle of joy (more here: pregnancy announcement). I remember my happiness and 'my all day every day' day-dreaming about our little future family. I was just over the moon. But besides feelings of joy, there were insecurities as well, e.g. whether my baby would be healthy, I could...

After being pregnant and delivering a baby 5 months ago, I really wanted to start working out again. As we recently moved to a new city as well, I didn't know yet which sport club I wanted to join. Then I learned about Stay All Fit, a membership that gives you unlimited access to the premium sports locations within Haarlem, Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. I live in Haarlem,...
