- Yay! I am going to the Breidag (knittingday), with knittingfriend D.!

- Just for us mothers of boys, visit the Orange Farmhouse for some great online shops & discountdeal! 

- Oh and hurry: she also hosts a great giveaway!

- Creative & want to help Japan? Go to Omstebeurt een nieuw avontuur.

- This is a great recipe from Dalkruidjes. I hope they sell 'bokkepootjes' in other countries as well? :)

- Wouldn't these racecars be the perfect little treat for T.'s birthday to give to his friends at kindergarden/school?

- Already making plans for J.'s 6th birthday, dinosaur-style!

- I guess the season for some good old kite-flying has started, let's make one!

- Love this idea!

- For all you Paris & macaron-lovers outthere: Paris Breakfast

Found a face!

Faces in Places always makes me smile! The funny faces they seem to find everywhere it seems!

Yesterday I found a face, yay!
a happy windmill

Inspired by sweet friend L., we visited de Zaanse Schans & the Verkade Paviljoen. It's so much fun to see how Verkade used to make biscuits, chocolate bars & waxine lichtjes. The kids could try their hand at filling tins with cookies, handeling machines & playing memory. Although it's all via computer at the end they got the taste of a real Verkade biscuit.

We also walked around to see the typical houses, mills (yes, again), old backery & the little grocery store.

On my balcony


I enjoyed some sunshine with a nice cup of tea, the latest edition of 101 woonideeen & the spring /summer 2011 catalogue of Toast.

The styling & the beautiful pictures in the Toast catalogue make me want to go to sunny France now!
Just wanted to share some of my favorites with you:
