my sweet daughter-in-law is back to working after maternity leave

*

It all seems so accustomed

that after you had a baby

you will go back to work .

*

But oh my gosh

how your world

is changed for always

and ever

*

My daughter-in-law

was and is

a stewardess

with K.L.M.

*

she had a whole week

of study

before she was even alowed

to fly again

*

but all went well

and now she had her first flight

to Oslo and back

*

next week

she goes to Tokyo

for four days

*

For the first time

away from little Eva

FAR AWAY

*

during the days

when her daddy is working

Eva is coming to me !

monday

tuesday

 wednesday

 and

thursday

*

guess what I will be doing

A LOT

*

I admire my sun and

daughter-in-law

for doing all so well .

I feel so blessed

*



new friend

This is my new friend !

a present to me

from my friend

 Barbara

 who lives in France .

*

the mouse-mansion-book

I am so glad

to have this new friend.

Sorry I was not here

for a while

But here I am again

so glad you are all still here !

what I have missed 

on your blogs !

* 

See you ! 



YES YES YES

*

I ordered the beautiful

book

HET MUIZENHUIS

THE MOUSEMANSION

and mister postman

delivered it .....

*

It is even more beautiful

and special than I could imagen.

There are NO WORDS for this ....

*

I read interviews

and heard interviews

and saw interviews

with the maker

Karina Schaapman

*

She made everything herself

and the materials are mostly found.

*

Inspired by her own life

she started this project

when she had a burnout .

*

now she is touring along

the bookstores

and tells the children

to make their own

mouse mansion

from a simple box .

*

Soon it will appear

in english and french

*

Look for yourself

mousemansion

and have fun and be  speachless

*

this time of the year

*

This time

of the year

I always place this card

on my cabinet .

*

love the warm colors

and the autumn-mood

*

have a warm

colorful autumn weekend

you all

*

heart of gold

*

there is

no reason

not to follow

your heart

steve jobs

1955-2011

*

that sounds

simple

*

follow your heart

*

at least

it cannot harm

to think about

FOLLOWING

OUR

 HEART

*

happy friday

*



sharing

*

as happy as I am

with my friends nearby

*

I often wonder

what it would be like

to realy meet you

and have coffee/tea

and a little chat

and something delicious

In the last weeks

I was so blessed with

all kinds of loving

gestures

from my girl-friends

*

letters

postcards

visits

calls

*

I love it

*

the sleepover

*

All went well !

The brandnew IKEA babybed

was waiting

*

Eva's own

sheet and blanket

came with her

*

I searched for something

to hang on the wall

and than I remembered

*

My mother

embroided

this wonderful

embroidery

of this mousefamily

living in an old shoe

*

It was hanging in

my son's  baby-room

and we watched it

over and over

*

and now it was here

for Eva .

*

and so was my mother

a little bit

*

and you know what

EVA

slept through the night

just as she does at home !

*

It all went well

and we are all proud

The young parents

for the very first time

without there little Eva .

*

All those experiences

are easy forgotten

when life goes on

but

being a grandmother

it all comes back

*

I was

so so tired

MEN .......

how did I EVER

manage to have FOUR

*

That seemed a whole lot easyer

if possible

*

I wrote everything down

in a little book

Called it

Eva's first sleepover .

put some pictures along

and that was

MY SURPRISE

for her parents

for their 3 year anniversery !

*

ENJOYING

my me time now

*

oh oh oh .......

*

Guess

who is coming to

stay her first night over

with me !

*

guess who is quite nervous

ME

*

her daddy and mummy

met each-other

TODAY 3 YEARS AGO

*

SHE put a little note

under the

screenwiper

of HIS car .

*

the note is now

framed !

*

I am so honored

I am the first one !

*

HE is my first child

SHE is HIS first child

SHE is my first grandchild
