A soft end of the year
After what turned out to be a prosperous pregnancy, our little baby son Tobias was born on December 6th. On Saint Nicholas day, we went to the maternity at 50 minutes from home, to be induced because the baby did not want to come by himself. It was time, as he reached his official French Read article…
More pink and yellow (+baby update)
We’re officially waiting: like really waiting for the baby to arrive. It is his due date today, I’m 41 weeks pregnant and there is no sign that he will be coming anytime soon. Tomorrow we’ll have an appointment at the maternity to check everything and decide what to do. Meanwhile I’m drinking a homebrewn raspberry Read article…
Pink and yellow baby boy nursery
When we moved to the South last year and opened the windows every morning: we realized that we need to get used to having sunshine every day.

Updating the gallery wall
Finally! The gallery wall in our guestroom urgently needed an update before our summer guests arrive. Last year I quickly hung some art and posters, but it was a mess and the colors didn’t match the warm(er) look I wanted for this room. When installing everything, I didn’t make a plan at all and just Read article…
Planting trees with Arbres & Co
Plant a tree with Arbres et Co 🌳 The current heatwave and extremely dry spring summer make us scarily aware of climate change. The devastating forest fires in Spain, Portugal, Gironde, and closer to home here in the South of France are scary, heartbreaking and make me feel so small. Our garden is a crispy Read article…
Happy Bees with Fiskars
Spring is here and it’s vibrant, sunny and “sauvage”! We keep large parts of our garden wild and free with wildflowers, wild thym, sage, rosemary and lavender and it has been loudly buzzing for weeks now with honey bees, beetles, wasps and butterflies. Of course the irises and roses in the garden have been blooming Read article…
