Tomorrow my fourteen year old daughter will be heading for the German city of Trier for a school field trip. Even though it's a supposed to be a cultural trip, they'll also be climbing trees or something. Because you know, that's Fun. We even had to sign a scary paper giving our daughter permission to...
My husband and I are having some very hot nights! But not in a good way. Our bedroom is in the attic, on the side of the house that catches the sun. All day long. So by the time we go to bed it's like an oven in there. We don't have airconditioning so we...
Yesterday my two youngest sons came home from school. And yet again they were carrying a selfmade bird house. I don't know what their arts and crafts teacher is thinking, but I'm seriously considering starting my own Bird Bungalow Park. This may very well be the tenth bird house they've made... Bird house At first...
I love bicycle bags! I need them to get all my libary books back to the library. I also use them for grocery shopping. Bicycle bags are a great way to transport stuff, without having to carry it. As you can see in the picture I also have a bicycle basket. But you can't leave...

There's nothing I hate more: peeing, and upon standing up realizing the toilet seat was covered in what was probably male urine… With three sons that don't always put the toilet seat up, it's a risky business to sit down on the toilet in our house. Usually I carefully check the toilet seat, but sometimes...
I suppose it's one of those things that happens as you grow older. At least in my case: my eyebrows, which used to be quite eyecatching, have grown paler and paler. I want eyebrows like Julianne Margulies At first I didn't care all that much, because I was wearing glasses, and they hid my pale...
I often read blogs about decluttering. But there's one area that is sadly neglected when it comes to decluttering, and that is the keychain! At a certain, unfortunate point in time, my keychain carried: my house key the key to my bike a key to our back door a key I didn't know, so I...
I guess somewhere deep down inside of me I've always known. But I just didn't know what to do with those feelings. How to handle them, what it all might mean. But then I read this article, and everything just fell into place. I read about this type of mother called the Yummy Mummy, and...
