blog it like it is

When I think back to my childhood, I have many happy memories that pop up in my mind. The ones that have stuck with me though are not the ones where a lot of money was invested, but instead the really special ones are the memories where I spent time with my sisters doing “normal” and “boring” things. Except, they were never “normal” to me and they were anything but “boring”, because we had fun and we laughed and we had to figure out what would make that day adventurous.

In our family, we feel it is important that our kids appreciate the things they have and understand, at a certain age, how they get the things they have. Both my husband and I have full time jobs outside our home and from an early age on our children made the connection of work = money but of course the value and worth of money is not quite understood yet.

The three yoga guides that I am listing here are all very unique in their own way and for me it is a nice variety. So depending on the day and how I feel at that time, I select the personality or yoga style that feels the best to me at that moment.

My family loves all things that fall into the category Pancakes and Waffles. It’s just great as a snack or a whole meal. We don’t only eat them as breakfast food, because life is too short to forget to enjoy all the amazing food this world has to offer! And as an added bonus, the whole house smells incredible after cooking them! One of the family favorites, hands down, is when I make Belgian Waffles!The balance of the flavorful dough and the coarse sugar crystals makes it the perfect snack…

Random thoughts that have occured to me during my parenting day...

An easy craft for your toddler to do almost independantly. Great as a gift for relatives or friends! This craft takes about 20 minutes to make and you only need white paper, painters tape and some colors!

It's important to make time for yourself as a parent, even when it seems like there is no way to spare an extra moment left in the day.

Why are there only 24 hours in a day? That is by far not enough time to complete all the things that I need to and want to get done every day!

let me share with you my best survival tactics on planning themed kids parties and stay sane enough to do it again the next year.

Kids say the craziest things sometimes… and so do we!

Kids say the craziest things sometimes... and so do we!

There is so much beauty in this world and if we just stop comparing ourselves to each other and start looking at what we actually see, then there is hope yet that our children might grow up in a world where complete strangers don’t feel the need to bully each other, but instead randomly complement them.

"...I have always been more of an introvert as they say.... As a child, I was too shy to stand in line by myself to buy something I really wanted like some sweets for example. I would rather choose not to buy anything than doing this for myself. Having two children changed all that."
