Baby

Last weekend was one for the books! Our son turned one year old and we celebrated in the best possible way. We chose to keep it small, invite just family and host the party in our house. We wanted to make sure he was surrounded by the people he knows best and at a place that he feels right at home. Still, my husband and I had a...

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...

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...

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...

'Investeer in een mooie jas' zei mijn oma vroeger altijd. Dit kledingstuk is namelijk het allerbelangrijkste in je kledingkast. Je draagt het elke dag en je maakt hiermee je eerste indruk als je iemand ontmoet. Dus zeker elke euro waard. Daarom vind ik het ook altijd het leukste om in een nieuwe jas te investeren. Soms kies ik voor een statement jas die helemaal on trend is en het jaar...

Exactly one year ago I found out that I was pregnant with my sweet little boy! Today, he is 15 weeks and two days old. I couldn't have dreamt of a sweeter, cuter, happier and healthier baby and becoming his mom was the absolute highlight of 2018. He is making me the happiest girl in the world and I try to soak up every second of my newborn...

After Thanksgiving and 'Sinterklaas' the celebrations aren't over. Actually, I always feel like these holidays are a so-called 'starter' for the holiday of the holidays: Christmas! Finally, ‘Tis the season for tuxedos, candy cane magic and candle lights...

Today marks my 39 weeks pregnancy and all I can think of is taking my first stroll with our baby boy. Obviously, the baby first needs to choose his birth day. And for that moment, the bags are packed as it can start any moment now. As I wish to deliver the baby in the hospital, I want to share with you what I packed in my hospital bag. Well...

For new parents to be, it isn't always easy to decide what baby interio you should get for your newborn. Some of my more experienced friends, sent me lists with baby needs and essentials. These were helpful, but I still had no idea where to start. Until a few weeks ago, when we decided to visit Babypark in Wormerveer, a new location of this chain. They are specialized in baby...
