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

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
and have fun and be  speachless

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
