Snow in the forest

Yesterday two of my boys and I had a great time in a beautiful white forest - until we almost got eaten up...


Soon I hope to add some nice pictures too.

Life at the mo

A short update after a long time.
First pictures: painting that I worked on for a presentation I had to do for my Psychosocial studies - I could add a whole explanation of all symbolism but I won't... sorry ;-)
Other pictures: Saint Nicolas celebration in Dutchland: shop window decorations I had to make, and two of my boys pretending to be St Nicolas' helpers.
And last but not least - I love the snow at the mo - unfortunately no good picture...

So much going on; great things, but also difficult things. Juggling around with ideas, dreams, obligations and fear and learning to create new balances in life.

Hope to be here soon again.
Wishing you a great December month! Merry Christmas!

Messy head...

If I could make and post a photograph of my thoughts right now, it would be a very big mess. So many thoughts, ideas, new words I've never heard of, frights, and excitement... The end of this week I start the 4 year course Psychosocial Therapy and Gestalt Family Therapy. ... ... Hope to be back on my blog soon...

Enormous stones, small fish, lot's of fun and beauty

Last week we stayed in a Dutch area called Drenthe to spend our last week of vacation. What a great area. Love the people, the nature, the relational-, old fashioned & relaxed way of living.
Visiting hunebeds, walking through a gnome park (no, the gnomes were fake...), searching through old stuff at markets, some primitive fishing with the boys, reading, baking pancakes, eating them (ofcourse), visiting old friends (after 17 years), enjoying forests and wandering about in a zoo!








Great, great vacation!

Beach

Last week we went for holiday to Zeeuws Vlaanderen. A great week of enjoying sun, beach, a cool breeze, fun with the family, relaxing, making trips and searching for little treasures in the sand and water (we found lots of crabs, shrimps, shells and shark teeth!). It was fabulous!





Now back to work...

In the grass

Today we went to a family member's birthday and spend some hours in the sun. I loved laying in the grass - and the kids who couldn't resist jumping on top of me a few seconds later!
Have a great and sunny weekend.

DIY

Last two weekends I went to my parents house to do some DIY for them. I fixed the roof and painted a shed. It was hard work but I really enjoyed being there. And so did my two eldest boys. There is so much to see! And I loved spending time with my parents.
