Making art with our kids!

I am really proud of Michiel for making this video and going outside his comfort zone and doing a voiceover for the very first time!
He really wanted to participate with contributing to this blog and start making videos and blog posts. And I am so excited he is actually making a big effort to take part! So here the first of hopefully many blog and video posts from Michiel, to show you guys the dad’s perspective in our lives!

But as usual with firsts, the insecurity kicks in… and I hear him asking me  “Jolanda tell me hounestly, is it good enough!? it’s not isn’t it…”
Well, I definitely think its good enough!!! It’s honest, sincere, from the heart and real. Especially when you know that it’s the first time he had done a voiceover, which made him completely awkward. So I give him extra Bonus points for daring to push beyond his comfort zone and being open and vulnerable. That’s why I love this man.

What do you guys think!? Want to see more of his content on the site and witness him getting more comfortable with sharing his thoughts with you guys!?

Michiel about the video:
Watch our 7-year-old daughter Miley making art!
With this portrait of my daughter Miley I draw I wasn’t sure what to do with the colors, so I drew the lines and hung it on the wall for a good 6 months if not longer. Until Miley came up with the idea of giving it some color herself! I only had to tell her ones and she picked it up so fast. She loved working together with me creating this painting together and the end result could not have been any better.

Mindful parenting

Mindful parenting
How to be in the moment as a parent when your mind still is racing, thinking about everything that has been keeping you busy. Being a Mindful parent isn’t easy! So Learn from your kids! They are experts in experiencing and enjoying the present… They know best! Stop overthinking everything and start living in the “NOW”

Last September we went on an unexpected adventure somewhere in the dunes near Zandvoort in Holland. The kids were laughing and running and playing from the moment we stepped out of the van… But for me, it really took me a while to let go of my constant train of thought, let go of my worries, plans, and huge todo list. Until I realized what I was doing to myself and them. I wasn’t really there with them. I was missing out on all the fun while I was too buzzy being an adult!

So in that moment, I thought:  That’s it! I’m done adulting!
And guess what!? I had the best day ever!

Having trouble living in the moment as a parent!? Jump in there with your kids and just allow yourself to fully embrace the fun!
Wo’s with me!?

Een grote zus zijn… ↠ Being a big sister

Read this blog in English

Waiting for a new little baby sister can take a terrible long time if you are 2 years old … Poor Haley! That waiting takes so long! Fortunately, big sister Miley is there to teach little (almost big) sister Haley how to be a good big sister.
I’m sorry, this video is in dutch only for he moment…

Two years ago, Miley had to wait so long for her little sister Haley, watch the video “Is the baby ready?”:

Our little girl Quinn was born on 02-05-2017 and all four of us are madly in love with her!

Follow us on YouTube and do not miss a video!

Wachten op een nieuw klein baby zusje kan verschrikkelijk lang duren als je 2 jaar oud bent… Arme Haley! Dat wachten duurt zo lang! Gelukkig is grote zus Miley daar om kleine (bijna grote) zus Haley te leren hoe je een goede grote zus moet zijn.

Twee jaar geleden heeft Miley namelijk zelf ook zoooo lang moeten wachten op haar kleine zusje Haley, bekijk hier de video “is de baby al klaar?”: https://youtu.be/iVHpFnGMfFs

Gelukkig is de versterking inmiddels hier!
Ons kleine meisje Quinn is geboren op 02-05-2017 en we zijn alle vier helemaal in de wolken!

Volg ons ook op youtube en mis geen video!
