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...
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...
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,...
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...

And after two months of searching, we found our perfect house. As from the minute I walked in, I knew it. I felt it. This is...
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...
Wow, what a week is ahead of us! While I write this blog, I'm sitting in our chaotic apartment as we are packing our things to get ready for our big move! Because we are moving from our apartment in Amsterdam to our house in Haarlem. This is my fourth time changing homes and cities in 2,5 years, so I should be used to it right now;). And even though I am super excited...
Wedding season is here and I'm totally in the wedding vibes..! And you can't blame me as my twin sister got married this weekend. She was the most beautiful and happiest bride and I have never been more proud of her. I won't be able to put in words how special, emotional and beautiful it was to experience her marrying the love of her life. She has never...
