Me, I’m a big fan of pudding. Vanilla, chocolate, caramel, pink princes pudding and dark brown witches pudding with crispy chocolates in it: I love them all. My more sensible part encourages me to buy healthy low fat yoghurt for dessert, so puddings are banned to the weekend and every now and then I dream [...]

I’m a HUGE fan of Mijnes! For those of you who have never heard of Mijnes (shame on you!): Mijnes is a great little label that designs the most fantastic items in the most vibrant colours of felt, often combined with whimsical prints, vintage fabrics and beautiful embroidery. All items are made by hand, in [...]

Honestly, getting up at 05.20 doesn’t feel good at 05.20 (nor at 05.21, 05.22 or even at 05.23) but it certainly feels good at 06.20, when I have replied to all of my emails, enjoyed a hot cup of tea and still have 10 minutes left before the family wakes up. I used these 10 [...]

Funny how I feel much better now the worldwide DipDag (aka the most depressing day of the whole year) has passed.

5.20. Ja, het staat er echt. Gisteravond heb ik, in het kader van tenminste één goed voornemen, de wekker lekker vroeg gezet. Op 5.30, dacht ik, maar dat blijkt dus 5.20 te zijn geweest. 5.21. Ik visualiseer hoe ik, zonder morren, opsta, naar de badkamer loop, mijn lievelings-pyamabroek aantrek, naar de keuken loop, thee zet, [...]

Hou je vast, het is vandaag nationale DipDag… De derde maandag van januari is, volgens de Britse psycholoog Cliff Arnall, de meest deprimerende dag van het jaar. Want: het weer is belabberd, de feestdagen zijn voorbij, de meeste goede voornemens zijn alweer gesneuveld (bij ons in ieder geval wel!), de volgende vakantie is nog heel [...]

Love, love, love just LOVE this free goodie! It’s a monthly calendar featuring all seasonal fruits and vegetables of that month. It was designed by Cameron Blazer, who blogs at the Cottage Industrialist. The reason to share this calendar is: Like so many others, I am trying to eat more local and seasonal foods to [...]

No time to build a whole snowman, let alone a snow couple? Just make these gorgeous snowball lovers – much easier and possibly cuter too — found it via Deze is ook leuk, they were made by italian based Kristina, who keeps a beautiful blog called Color Stripes, here! —

Here’s a little tip to make mondays a little bit nicer: give some lunchbox love!
