This & That

HELLO 2016, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU!

My 2016 officially started this week. Well sort of. I’ve been dropping our little munchkin off for a few hours of holiday care since Tuesday. This gave me a few hours of peace, focus & to do some catch-up. 2015 was intense to say the least. There were exciting parts: buying our dream home (but […] Read more…

INTERNET INSPO #8 {FOOD FOR THOUGHT}

We have just returned from a (pre-holiday season) break by the sea, which means that we have more reserves to face the rest of the year (well, all six weeks of it) & all the visitors that we’ll be entertaining over for the festive season. Here are some links I’ve come across & loved over […] Read more…

INTERNET INSPO #7

Some cool links to keep you thinking and / or entertained for a while. (You’re welcome.) The funniest coffee shop signs.

Finding Friends In Your 30’s {Part 1}

INTERNET INSPO #4

Welcome to my latest edition of #InternetInspo! I have a little card (framed &) on my desk that reads: “Why on earth do you want to be like everyone else?” It sounds obvious, but it’s worth reminding ourselves every now & then why we are unique. Especially when our confidence is affected… Which brings me […] Read more…

CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF (BABY) SHOWERS

I am totally in love with the ‘cloud’ theme for baby showers & baby rooms at the moment. It works so well for a gender neutral baby shower with endless ideas for decor, eats & gifts. So sweet, don’t you think? At a recent ‘CLOUDY’ BABY SHOWER, the DÉCOR & FOOD were so much fun. It included: Fluffy […] Read more…
