counting my blessings

So many holiday blessings this week, like:

* Sam celebrating his 13th birthday with family and friends

* Pip & Floor having a great day at Plopsa invited by friends; and

* spending a few days in Amsterdam: exploring some great stores like Options & FAIR+FAIR; shopping my favorite pink neon bag at H&M, eating lots of ice cream :) & visiting the Anne Frank house together with Sam, which was so impressive!

Wishing you a nice week! For me it will definitely be one with lots of inspiration for some new blogposts!

stool love

I love stools and used to sell a lot of them in my own webstore. They are multifunctional in every room as a small table, nightstand or additional seat when needed.

H&M kids home collection

The new H&M kids home collection is available! The tough collection for boys inspired by the wild forest life is my favorite. The white cover with the little wolf is already in my shopping bag!

Such a great blog with beautiful pictures of family life in France. Light, shades of grey, pastels and beautiful people. You really should take a look at temp★files!

shorts & gumboots

This afternoon we went to the petting zoo in our hometown, wearing shorts and gumboots :)

stars, stripes & (uncle) sam

Yesterday Sam celebrated his 13th birthday. We made cheese cake with strawberries, cupcakes and some cool decorations with the new stars & stripes masking tape we bought at HEMA.
In our house the sun was shining all day!

color influence

Pantonism - the art of matching influences. A great site with lots of color and inspiring pictures. But be sure you have enough time to wander around.

Get influenced yourself!

grey + wood mood blessings

We are enjoying our holiday. Unfortunately not as planned in the south of France like the last years. But we are enjoying every sunny moment in our own country! Spending time with the kids, reading books and celebrating we don't have a to-do-list :)

Today I made these pictures on a daytrip with an ancient train in Zeeland. Loving the grey tones, scrapwood and pretty pink.

sun-ny-day

The first picture on my blog made with my new camera! I have planned to read the manual this afternoon, but I just couldn't wait making pictures with it allready.

It's my contribution to the summer-in-my-house challenge on Hege in France. Join this sunny challenge too!

Have a happy sun-ny-day!
