Sometimes, for instance while riding a bus or train, my pre-schooler asks me for a story. I always get stuck on my own version of Snow White. Not because I lack imagination, but that’s just the first thing that comes to mind.
That’s why I love these Story Telling Cards by Eeboo so much. Just pick [...]

Cute birdy bookmark which gently grips itself to pages for a better hold - and a free download too!
There’s no escape: autumn has come upon us. No crying over losing summer (as there still might be hot and sunny days ahead), but instead let’s celebrate all things you can do in autumn! Like: long [...]

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 [...]

Love these vintage colouring plates! Found them on the amazing blog ‘Agence Eureka’. This blog is filled with a huge collection of vintage bookplates, colouring plates, illustrations, magazines, ads etc.
It’s in French, but the images speak for themselves. And there are so many of them, too!

A little tip: go here to Agence Eurekas Blog. Then [...]

Here’s a simple plan to bring more joy to your life:

think of what really brings you joy
print out this poster
hang it in a place where you will see it often
allow yourself to take a moment to think of what brings you joy everytime you pass the poster
act on it!

The last part is obviously very important… [...]

No excuse not to recycle your magazines, newspapers & used-wraps! With this beautifully crafted raw wood-grain template you’ll make a whole bunch of little pouch size envelope in no time.
Comes with a twine tie for hanging and instructions, but it’s really simple:

find a nice piece of paper
put the enveloppe template over the piece of paper
use [...]

I love Twitter. To be quite honest: I’m sort of addicted to Twitter. If you’re on Twitter, too, you probably know what I’m talkinga bout. If you’re not, you prbably think I’m a nutcase, spending valuable time and energy on something to unimportant. And you’re right. But still: I love Twitter!
This little birdie is great [...]

Love this online drawing class by Dutch illustrator Caroline Ellerbeck! Caroline explains how to draw the sweetest little girl in an easy to follow step by step tutorial. It’s a bit like Bob Ross, but in a cute and funny way. AND it will definitely help you doodle the most wonderful creatures in the world. [...]

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 [...]

Een geweldig iniatief van Tony Chocolonely: hij deelt 20.000 (ja, je leest het goed!) slaafvrije (en heel erg ekkere) paaseitjes uit.
Wat is de bedoeling?

Ga naar de site, hier, print de hazentandjes uit, doe ze in en maak een foto van jezelf als hulphaas.
Upload de foto + toelichting waar je jouw paaseitjes zou willen verstoppen naar [...]
