Soak it up.

First days of summer.

Have coffee on the terrace.

Fill the pool.

Just soak it up. The sun. The warmth. The summer.

Day off

Ever since I became a mum and especially a working mum, I've forgotten how to just BE. How to do nothing.

Most of the time, I work six days a week, 10 hours a day. The days off are then usually spent doing whatever needs to be done around the house.

On my day off this week, I took on a project that at least created an illusion of me doing nothing. I have a huge pile of old magazines that all contain one or more interesting recipes. So, a cup of coffee, a pile of magazines and a comfy position. Almost a day off.

 

My hoods

We don't quite live in the middle of nowhere, but it's right around the corner.

I love living in these surroundings, where it's quiet and not all is covered in concrete.

Kid loves to explore. He probably thinks he's gone where no man has gone before.

I love that here, it's safe to let him wander by himself (well not TOTALLY by himself, he's two). No puddle is left untouched.

My little man.

Last days of summer

My summer vacation ended a week ago.

Kid starts kindergarten next week.

Maybe that's why it feels like it's the last days of summer.
