Expressies

Expressies. Ik verzamel ze. Van micro tot mega expressie. Love it all. Bij kinderen flitsen er vaak per seconde wel 3 tot 4 expressies langs. Dromerig, de verte in starend. Breed uit schaterlachend, rebels vol plannetjes. Boos of verdrietig. Kinderen schakelen...

STYLE

◈ Blog posts about our style. How we style our home, ourselves and everything around us.

An outfit is so much more than just a few pieces of clothing to cover yourself and keep warm… Fashion is a piece of self-expression.
We love beautiful objects and furniture. Preferably with a story behind it. We like to surround ourselves with beatifull objects and art that remind us of somewhere we’ve been, the people we love or something that inspires us.

Follow all our outfit inspiration posts and fashion related topics! View our house, garden, special furniture, art, and other style objects we would love to share with you.

Zeemeermin Kinderfeestje thuis vieren! Inspiratie en tips.

Zeemeermin Kinderfeestje thuis vieren! Inspiratie en tips.

Het eerste echte kinderpartijtje met klasgenootjes van je leven is meestal als je 4 of 5 word. En voor de jarige job een pretty big deal! Haley’s 1ste kinderfeestje thuis hadden we op haar verzoek compleet in Zeemeermin thema gevierd.

Middle child

Middle child

You are not the biggest sister, You are not the smallest sister
Somewhere in between. But in your eyes, you are a BIG sister AND a SMALL sister all at once.
In fact. You have everything!

Consciousness, Like mother like daughter +Twinning Lookbook

To have children is for me believing in tomorrow. Planting a garden with them and teaching them to treasure this planet is an essential part of the way we are raising our babies. I went Twinzies with my big girl Miley! Spring is here so a perfect outfit to get out into the garden and enjoy the first rays of sunshine!

Happy Midsummer!

Happy Midsummer!

This weekend was the summer solstice and we are feeling it in our bones! Summer is coming! I took all the summer clothing from the back of the closet to the front! Re-discovering all my summer favorites.
The only thing that was lacking was a fresh pair of summer loving specs. So Polette geared me up with some groovy round frames that makes me feel like I’m back in the ’60s

Chopping wood is Therapeutic

Chopping wood is Therapeutic

Chopping wood is Therapeutic for most men. I guess it’s a primal thing, making lumber to keep fires going has been a ritual for thousands of years.  It’s in our DNA as humans. There is a fascination with creating fire with most men.

I’m telling all about it and show you a little bit of my old portfolio!

Run wild my child

Run wild my child

Little feet are making a wonderful crunchy sound as they touch the layered floor of the forest. Every step feels different, little sticks, rocks, bones, grass, and mosses are all hiding under a think mixed layer of old crispy and fresh soft fallen leaves. Making every step an exciting surprise.

Our Mindful Babycare routine +WIN a Babycare Sheepskin

Our Mindful Babycare routine +WIN a Babycare Sheepskin

Day in, day out you get in this automated rhythm of taking care of your babe. And it’s basically the same every single time. Being a parent of a baby is hard. Once in a while, I noticed it happened to us again. We’ve been overwhelmed and exhausted for a period, so we’ve slipped into this survival mode. And never came out.

Winter garden overview

Bathtime goals

Bathtime goals

When you explore, you tend to get dirty! But that doesn’t mean we necessarily want to get clean… Because whenever we get a bit crunchy of all the playing, we just play some more in the tub!

Getting a greener home

Getting a greener home

Energy friendly home
Living in a small home of only 50 square meters (=538 square feet) is one of the choices we’ve made to be more sustainable as a family. But because this is a home build in 1952, the Insolation was not what we wanted it to be. So in the last couple of years, we made some big steps in improving the insolation of our home.

Getting my first tattoo

Getting my first tattoo

At first, it was a rather simple idea… a thin straight line from my elbow to my wrist within the middle the letters that spelled the name of my one and only baby girl. My ultimate Mom tattoo. But. I was still breastfeeding. And everyone strongly advised against it back then. Now 7 years and two kids later I finaly did it! And YES I’m still breastfeeding!

Opinions… Choose: Frozen canals or blazing hot sunshine!?

Opinions… Choose: Frozen canals or blazing hot sunshine!?

Opinions matter…and everyone is always having theirs. What’s your opinion on that? What would you choose? What do you think? What would you prefer? Who do you support? But I can switch my opinions and preferences or how I feel about something just like that. Because a preference or opinion isn’t like a birthmark… you aren’t born with opinions or preferences. Nothing is set in stone, once you’ve developed an opinion about something, It’s not a lifelong decision. I’m allowed to change my opinions or preferences. That’s ok!

Climbing trees and family dynamics

The last couple of months were hectic, getting to know Quinn. Including her in our routines, or better said… making new routines. But now after those first five months, the dust has settled, and we all have got used to our new lives. It is a joy to see these three wonderful brave little girls exploring this world, climbing every tree, jumping from adventure to adventure!

Expecting Wild

Expecting Wild

So lets be honest… from the 38th week in pregnancy I am not the charmyest person around. I only fit my biggest maternity joggers and I can walk (or actually wobble) around for a max of 10 minutes before crashing. And then it hit me… this will probably be the last time ever being pregnant. So we decided to celebrate this moment in this photoshoot.
