Box of Tricks

Once I showed him the tricks of this 'box' my two year old nephew couldn't get enough of it :)

I'm wondering where I have the first real* photographs I made, I think I must have been thirteen. Do you still rememberthe first time you hold a camera?

(* I rembember 'taking photographs' with my paper camera of the parents at a schoolparty when I was four :))

Eight Days

Eight days ago I became aunt (again) of this precious fellow. Only a couple of hours home after spending two hot sleepless summerdays with my sweet little nephews and I already miss them.

A Positive Thought

Escape to the Beach

Sometimes you just have to leave all the 'important' to-do-things and escape for a couple of hours ..

Happy weekend!

Ps. thank your for your comments, I still can't comment on some blogs including my own, but I appreciate your thoughts!

Sunday Thought

Pursuing Peace

If something kinda sorta works for us, it's very unlikely we'll make changes. Even when it's relatively easy and very needed. That's why it's good to come to a point once in a while where you think: I need to make a difference now. Yesterday evening I made some changes in my interior and did some serious decluttering (again :). And although I still have a long way to go, and this may not sound like a big thing, the effect on my mood is huge. New energy and more importantly more peace :)

Flower Power

I did a little photoshoot with my mom last saturday, I love how the photos turned out! Life has been challenging for her and it's great to see her reconnect to the hippie-ish girl she once was. So here is to Flower Power :)

Replies (still can't reply with google-account): Thnx & Dank, Ik zal jullie lieve complimentjes aan haar doorgeven :) @Nien: ja heel mooi het raakte ook echt iets in haar. @ Swig: You're welcome :)

P.S. About the Rocky Road: Melt the choclate of your taste with some cream, add cookcrumbs & marshmallows (or whatever you like: nuts, dried fruit etc.). Pour the mixture in the shape you like and let it cool in the fridge, very easy.. And yes it was very yummie and no one should not eat this too often :)

The winner is..

Congratulations Rebi! Please mail me your adress.

M is for...

mmmmm (i hope :)

My-little-big-sister is going to be 18 today! (I was in my teens when she was born, which felt extra special) I will be hosting her party tonight. The Rocky Road is already waiting for her in the fridge!

(PS Give away is still open)
