Do you secretly long for the time when we can hug

Do you secretly long for the time when we can hug each other again? I want to hug my dear friends and family like a elephant; very clumsy, very graceless but with BIG passion and a lot of loud trumpeting. In my head I am counting down...

In these crazy times it’s been a challenge for m

In these crazy times it’s been a challenge for me keeping up with Instagram and having a three and four year old at home. But to be honest with you, I do like this slower pace of life at this moment. I feel more present and connected with my children now that we are together 24/7. And then I got surprised with this beautiful image by @sproetjeshuis. It’s the little things that make me so grateful these days. Let’s create some lasting memories, shall we?

Goodmorning dear friend, thank you for letting me

Goodmorning dear friend, thank you for letting me show up on your feed. I hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe. In these surreal times at least the sunshine is real. To all my fellow mommies out there: Yes we can! 💗

Dreams are here to be lived. If you were wondering

Dreams are here to be lived. If you were wondering where I’ve been: I’ve locked myself up in the castle tower to work on a few projects. My head is spinning with ideas and concepts. I definitely need a few extra hours in one day. And sunshine. Winter, storm, rain, I thank you but I’m ready for spring now 💗

Betty Bunny was send to a new home last week and look at her now! She completely comes into her own in this vintage hand-painted frame. And how about that floral wallpaper? Everything comes togheter so well. My old stylist heart just jumped!

Thank you for the lovely picture @chantalgoudswaard

When I was pregnant with my first baby decorating

When I was pregnant with my first baby decorating the nursery felt like such an essential part of the arrival of my baby. ⠀⠀
All of a sudden that little space became the most important room of the house. I knew I would spend hours and hours in there. As I couldn’t find an artwork that stole my heart, so I decided to make it myself. ⠀⠀
My son is almost 5 now and my babygirl isn’t a baby anymore, she is about to turn 3. But I’ve made it my mission to support moms in making the most magicaI spaces and I truly enjoy making these personalised artworks. ⠀⠀
If you also wish to have a unique artwork you can contact me through my website or simply send me a DM.

Aren’t you completely in love with this picture

Aren’t you completely in love with this picture by the talented @gisellebergstrm? I felt so grateful and happy when she send this picture to me. Her account is just amazing! Go check her out if you don’t already do. If you’d like this art poster as well for your girl’s room, there are still a few available in this size.

Thankful

Sometimes we are touched in ways and by things that seem small and meaningless at the moment but afterswards they prove to be great blessings. ⠀⠀
For those who aren’t following her beautiful account: I’d like you to meet Manon. @thelifetraveler ⠀⠀
When I gratuated from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute, I was struggling to find a job as an aspiring fashion stylist. I’d been working in a high-end shoe store for over half a year and I had send out my portfolio to a dozen of fashion magazines. Manon was the first to respond and invited me to the editor’s office. She gave me my first styling assignment. ⠀⠀
She said: I wish this for you, you deserve it. Not only did I not expect to be granted a freelance job, but the kindness in which she did was such an inspirational moment.
⠀⠀
Over the years I had lost track of Manon and a few years ago I looked her up online only to find out that she and her husband had moved to Kenya to adopt a young boy called Micah. She wrote about the extremely challenging adoption proces for a magazine and I was just blown away with all that she and her husband had gone through to be togheter with their son. ⠀⠀
It moved me to tears as I had just become a mother myself. The way she wrote about the calling of her mother’s heart was one of the most beautiful things I had ever read. And it was just what I needed in that moment.
⠀⠀
Dear Manon, thank you for your kindness and for being such an inspiration of motherhood.
