<span style="font-family: Courier New;"> My blog was never going to be a source of income or a way to start an onlineshop, I always blogged just for the fun of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And fun I had, thank you all so much for visiting & commenting, it really means a lot to me!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">All in all it means I have less time in a day</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">and that made me decide to stop blogging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">My spare time I want to just be there for my boys, my husband, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Had a wonderful day at the <a href="http://www.ijhallen.nl/">IJhallen</a> yesterday. Love the industrial building, great atmosphere, lots of happy people <em>(some very trendy young ladies as well)</em> & great sales. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">My friend did some shopping but I was so in to the selling mode that I couldn't focus on all the bargains around. Thankfully she picked up a huge scarf for me (from Cos) & a beautiful blue/green purse. <span style="color: #f1c232;">♥</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And I bought the boots she was selling at our stall after looking at them for a few hours & just knew they had to be mine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">At the end of the day I picked up the hat, another hat, a leather clutch & a Dior purse all for just 4 euros!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">If you are in the Amsterdam area the first weekend of the month do try & visit the IJhallen for some fleamarketfun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So I started the new year by diving in to the sea for the so called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear_plunge">Polar Bear Plunge</a>! I didn't do it with an organised jump, we just took the boys to the beach & I happened to be wearing my bathing suit under my clothes! My husband really didn't believe I was really going to go through with it, the boys were also a bit surprised but I actually did it! And to be honest it's a great way to start the new year fresh! :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Hibernating I guess. It's all a bit slow around my blog. 'Busy' enjoying cold weather, friends, hot chocolate & cozy days with the kids at home. Watching <a href="http://www.zappelin.nl/pages/1348-kerst-met-linus">Kerst met Linus</a>, again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Hope you're enjoying the days before christmas as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">On monday my birthday-gift arrived:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">And although the light has been terrible all week I did practice a bit!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Most of my spare time this week I spend putting stuff in boxes. I booked a stall at the <a href="http://www.ijhallen.nl/">IJhallen Amsterdam</a>, for the big fleamarket me & my dear friend are attending, the first saturday of february. Really looking forward to that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">We had a relaxed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinterklaas">Sinterklaas</a>-celebration on wednesday-afternoon. The boys were very excited to get a letter from the Saint telling them where the gifts were. Love seeing the magic of it all in their eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Had an 'end-off-the-year-dinner' with the colleagues from my office-job, we went for sushi & teppan yaki at <a href="http://www.benkeidenhaag.nl/">Benkei</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Yesterday my friend & her son came over. We had a spontaneous burrito-dinner, love these kind of get-togethers! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">She also brought some christmas to our house:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Years ago my (not yet) husband & I bought a 70+ years old house with lots of potential & features (like stain-glass windows!). We had plans on renovating, painting & decorating but pretty soon after we moved in we found out I was pregnant, my husband is not a great DIY'er & everything came to a stand still.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">To compensate I bought stuff to make our house our home. A few months back I decided it was enough, our home was slowely taken over by stuff. I did some cleaning out but pretty much got stuck.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">And here's where my dear friend came in, looked around, didn't judge & gave my a hand to pull me out. And not just by saying: you should do this or that, no she is really <strong>helping</strong> me to turn things around!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Today she painted the livingroom wall in this beautiful color & we made a start in deciding what to let go & what to keep, filling boxes for the <a href="http://www.ijhallen.nl/">fleamarket</a>. </span><br />

Loved the views at the top but I have to admit I am pretty scared of heights & always afraid that a construction like this collapses. But I don't want the boys to be scared because I am, so with my brave face up, smiling meanwhile clinging on the seat for dear live! Silly right? :)</span></div>
