counting down till XMAS

Still eight days left and it will be the 1th of december. The day our youngest son will celebrate his seventh B-day and the start of counting down the days until XMAS. 

Recently I collected some great DIY advent calenders on Pinterest. Still one week left to make your own personal one!

Check my advent-pinterestboard for more inspiration!

By the way on 1 december the episodes of 'Christmas with Linus' will be on television again. 

One of our most favorite pre-XMAS traditions!

Just a lot of white tiles, combined with concrete and wood, copper or tire-baskets accessories. Basic minimalistic and so beautiful.

crushed blessings

A busy week, feeling a little bit crushed between loving my job and enjoying to be home with the kids, but also with nice blessings like:

* rearranging and restyling the bedrooms: Pip and Floor sleeping together from now on. Just hoping they don't make it too cosy every evening :)

* feeling gifted the kids enjoy their sports activities so much: Floor playing football and making a goal last saturday with his left leg!, Pip loving horse riding and Sam enjoying his singing lessons and practising for the stage performance 'Mathilda' (with three performances at the end of this month at the Hanzehof!)

* celebrating the birthday-party of Roos, the daughter of very lovely friends, this sunday

* winning a 'Plak 't' sticker designed by Lidewijs on facebook for our LOVE WALL. Happy and sharing a picture of it soon!

* a very nice, new cooperation on my blog, sharing a guestblog in january or february next year!

Have a nice week!
