and I got 2 more cats. Meet Rolf and Pipo They come from the shelter and are with for about 6 weeks now. They both were very scared, a lot has happened to them in a short time. It took quite a few weeks for them to feel at home. Now they are happy and love playing together with Billie, who...

I went to old photo's tonight. I have my photo's sorted on months, but I don't have a clue what kind of photo's are in a certain month. In the past I've done three 365 projects. A photo a day, two layouts per week, for a whole year. So I have lots of photo's and lots of random photo's. Tonight...

We have the most beautiful Fall here. The leaves are turning into awesome colors, the temperatures are good. I want to go outside, to enjoy Fall, to enjoy nature with all it's beauty. But it rains. And it keeps on raining. There is sun too, and I've seen some amazing rainbows, but just when I...

Isn't that weird? It's Fall for a whole month now, but I still pick flowers from my garden. That has never happened before. Temperatures are still too high here, and there is still so much in my garden that is growing. It feels very unnatural, but hee I will enjoy it as long as it lasts.

I really like to go shopping from time to time. I love the stores that are a bit different, like hippy style, or african style. But I live in a small town and we don't have too many stores here, let alone unique stores. I will have to go to the city, but I don't have time for that, and my...

Because I do. I love the end of Summer, the days getting shorter, being more inside again. Spending the evenings with my family, watching some Netflix, lighting a candle. Also I love the changing colors of nature. At the end of Autumn I always long for Winter, hoping for snow and ice. Looking...

My new best friends. He's 9 weeks old, with us for 2 days now. He feels so at home with us. Plays alot, come to lie with us when he gets tired. He is the cutest ever! I am so very happy with my new fur baby :heartpumppink::love::heartpumppink:

We had, and still have a dry period. Some rain fell the last week, but not enough after a long and warm period without anyy rain! This resulted everything to grow slower than usual, everything is late. But I did harvest my first vegetables from my garden last week: beans, zucchini and Swiss...

Are there any themes you are missing? Or is there something special you are looking for? I'm curious, so maybe this thread is a good place to ask for kits, get tips or suggestiosn or just to let know what you would love to have but can't find.

I'm very interested in history. Especially the period after the medieval times and before the industrial industry. I love to read about how people lived in those days. And then I mean the normal people, the poor people. Not the rich and nobles classes. Life wasn't easy for the poor and normal...

I got the most amazing gift for my birthday yesterday. I almost burst out in tears. My oldest son Marten made a painting for me. He knows I love cows and for the last month he has been working on a painting for me almost every afternoon. I am so proud, I just got to show it here! Have you...

It is still so cold here in the Netherlands. And way too much rain and wind. I so long for those warm temperatures, for being comfortable outside without wearing my wintercoat or clothes for the rain. And even in the garden almost nothing really grows. Hardly any blossoms, the trees aren't...

He in the army and he is going on a mission to Lithuania. We will bring him to the airport coming Monday. He not going to a dangerous place, but still, he is a lot closer to Ukraine. It's the first time he is going away for so long. I know kids leave home at a certain age, my daughter did, but...

I try not to, but it's so easy to scroll through my insta and facebook. Check my e-mail, the news, whats app and so on. When I need clothes I search the internet or scroll through Vinted or a Dutch version called Marktplaats. Looking up information for my garden, watching interesting video's on...
