 A nice week with lots of mixed emotions, work, lots of family time and me-time:
 * Sam had some great hiphop-performances and it was so nice to see him shine on stage, watching his performance together with Pip en Floor. Leaving behind some great pink balloons :)
* Pip walked 5K on 4 days with school together with lots of other kids in Zutphen. Wednesday I walked alongside her, feeling so proud
* and today we welcomed our new kitten called Fee. She is so adorable and already a bit naughty at the same time. We loved her at first sight!

love wall blessings

A couple of weeks ago I rearranged our living room and last friday we replaced our TV so we can watch it sitting on our couch again. But it left behind an empty wall with big holes. And while we are gathering courage for painting our whole living room I made a temporary love wall with prints, postcards and drawings containing a heart. Not knowing it would be filled so fast on this mothersday :).
It was a lovely week with some pictures of it on instagram, including our love wall on the saturday evening.

Wishing you all a nice new week!

interior crush

I just love the styling and interior of this family home in a renovated carpentry in Paris. 

Found on MilK Magazine where you can see so much more pictures of inspiring houses and their inhabitants from all over the world.

Last monday our 16-year old black cat Puk died. 

Such a lovely cat. Adored by the children, who were carrying him around the house all day. 

We miss him so much.

Sometimes he pops up in a nice kidsroom; the white BRIO playkitchen. 

We have a wooden kitchen which we bought for our daughter once and which happens to move from her room to our living room once in a while. 

I love it when playful stuff also matches your adult interior.

have a happy orange day!

Every year we celebrate Queensday on the 30th of April. But this year is a special one, because from now on we will have a King and a Queen in Holland and next year we will celebrate Kingsday on the 27th of April. Organizing games, selling and buying secondhand stuff and having a party together.

Last year we stayed in Amsterdam together, visiting the Vondelpark with the kids. This year I will stay in our hometown with the kids, remembering the wonderful day in Amsterdam together last year.

Enjoy a happy orange Queensday tomorrow!
