And so

We continued bussiness as usual...
Being busy celebrating summer & when I had some time on my hands behind the computer I was without inspiration.
This picture was taken by my mother, she just points & shoots.

We had a emergency visit to the hospital, again???
Yes again, our youngest son got the diagnosis peanut-allergy from bloodtests when he was 9 months old & so we never gave him any peanut & peanutrelated stuff because we didn't know how serious this allergy would be.
Last wednesday he was in kindergarden & it happened, he got his little hands on a peanutbutter sandwich & he got an anafylactic reaction. So I rushed to the kindergarden & an ambulance was called to the scene. His eyes & mouth were really swollen & he had a bit of difficulty breathing. The medics gave him a shot with 2 kinds of medication & took us to hospital where he was monitered for several hours. It took him a few hours to return to his healthy, happy little self playing with mummy in hospital. In the early evening we were released, happy to go home.
And so now we all carry a so called Epi-pen & we repeat many times a day: pinda's zijn stout!!! peanuts are bad!!!
So if you have any tips on how to deal with a serious allergy, please leave a comment! Thank you!

The beach

We could have gone & visit the park to listen to some great music but we decided on a day at the beach!


Just chillin' on the beach... for I guess a minute then he returned to running in the breakers with his brother.

I started a new collection: sea urchins. I sat down in a small puddle of water gathering the small remains of the urchins & some little shells. Soon I was surrounded by 5 girls asking what I was looking for and before I knew it they were helping me with my quest!


"What are you going to do with these urchins", asked one of the little ladies. Well this:
The beginning of a small necklace

I hope you enjoyed your weekend as well!

Happy fathersday!


After all the handmade gifts in the morning, we had a french breakfast and then we went to the Gemeentemuseum to see if daddies brandnew Museumkaart would actually work. We visited the Wonderkamers & had lots of fun making music with all the funny instruments.



Enjoyed a little run outside.


And took a closer look at the exhibition of The ugly duckling by Theo van Hoytema.




Happy fathersday to all you wonderful daddies outthere!]

Can't judge a book by its cover

Nope. But just look at these covers!

I went thriftstore shopping today, looking for some inspiration & I found some great books & to be honest I just fell for the covers! In one book there was a little card & an old newspaper clipping, two other books had beautiful ex libris-ses.
I really can't imagine e-reading taking over from paper books! Can you?
