I must admit, I’m sort of a lazy mom. I’m can’t set myself to make cute bento lunchboxes, but I do want to make my 4 year old be happily surprised when she opens up her lunchbox.
That’s why I love these mini lunchbox notes: just make a peanutbutter sandwich, toss in a mini-cheese and a [...]
A little while ago I posted a craft project for DIY I Spy Bottles. I made two! For Lena I made a fairytale themed I Spy Bottle, containing a single shoe, a crown, Snow White, a pink heart, a golden coin, a real pearl and so on. I put them in a big bottle and [...]
The day before yesterday I posted a blog on these supercute I Spy Bags. Like I told you before: I’m too late to buy one online, and I’m a no good crafty girl (can’t sew, can’t knit, can’t build a closet) so I thought up a little plan. I searched the web a little further [...]
Just a few days and summer holiday is here again… So it’s that time of the year again, the time to say goodbye to all schoolfriends and ofcourse to the teachers. Of course you could give some chocolat, or a book, or a drawing, but why not give the teacher this beautiful thank you-card?
I like [...]
Wat een prachtig weer is het buiten! Het is nu echt BIJNA zomer, dus hup-hup, lekker het park in. En dan meteen, nu het nog kan, vlierbessenbloemetjes plukken, om de allerallerallerlekkerste vlierbessen-limonade van de hele wereld te maken.
Met het onderstaande instructie-filmpje lukt je dat echt heus waar. En wat doe je met al die overheerlijke [...]
Op de blog ZenHabits van Leo Babauta, een vanuit-huis-werker-met-6-kinderen, vond ik deze lijst met maar liefst 30 tips voor iedereen die vanuit huis werkt. Als veel-te-drukke WAHMer ben ik dol op alle tips die op welke manier dan ook enige rust in mijn leven kunnen brengen. Vooral punt 3 vind ik erg nuttig - en [...]
Love these fab fifties-style printed scarves by Shinzi Kato! They’re just perfect for furoshiki.¬† Wrapping your gifts in a scarf like this makes it look even prettier. Plus it’s very eco-friendly: it can be used over and over again! Not just for giftwrapping (see the video below on how to wrap 2 books, a bottle [...]
Love these Cookie Clouds by Nikole Herriott, aka Miss FortySixThatGrace. Especially now our Dutch spring is being very moody: bright and sunny one day, icy and rainy the next. I’m thinking: if there must be clouds, PLEASE let them be yummie cookie ones
She also shares this great recipe, which you can download [...]
A couple of months ago I decided to start wearing hair pins: not small ones, but big flowery ones, the kind that you can’t ignore. I reckoned that a nice hairpin would take the attention away from my sleepy eyes and over all tired look and it works! It’s like wearing red lipstick: it gives [...]
Oh boy, how I love bags. Shoes not so much (I wear a proud size 41 and am only 1,65 tall), but bags, oh, bags… Especially when there’s something old school about them, like these great leather satchels from The Cambridge Satchel Shop! They make me think about my first year in high school, when [...]
