Without a doubt this was one of my favorite spaces in Stockholm: the children's workshop at the Arkitekturmuseet. It's bold, it's green and it smells like craft glue and linoleum. What more can you wish for? Besides the supercool lampshades, I really like the chairs with one "ear" (or raised hand?): My first internship ever Read article…

So many kids
One of the perks of december is a mailbox full of festive cards. For the 8th time in a row, my dad & I worked on the xmas cards for an elementary school in the Netherlands. The challenge is to be as efficient as possible, because with 460 kids and always a few ill ones Read article…

Gnome’s homes
While it has been snowing in large parts of Europe ( it IS december after all! ), we enjoyed a nice autumn sun in the Oise this last couple of days. Flipping through one of my photo albums I found these two photos of myself in the forest nearby our home ( wearing the same Read article…
Hens and Roosters
The sound of hens immediately takes me back to the garden of my grandparents. My grandma used to keep hens in a shed and as a little girl I didn't dare to come anywhere near them: their feathers & unpredictability freaked me out. I know my grandma's hens were brown, but it's mostly their clucking Read article…
JOELIX in Butterzart magazine
Earlier this year I met Nina in Berlin when we both attended The Hive, a European Blog Conference. We immediately hit it off ( we talked for hours during the cocktail party! ) and have been in contact ever since. Nina writes a monthly magazine called Butterzart about kids fashion & lifestyle.

Baking some LEGO pastries
What do you do when it's raining & you've just found several new Lego sets in the stash of your husband? You build a Lego bakery! Including 1 croissant, 2 baguettes & cupcakes! Any idea what these stacks of tiny "balls" are? Maybe chouquettes? Or oranges? Even though I'm not a big fan of pre-fab Read article…
Weekend tip: Grimp a l’arb

I scream for ice cream!
Summer started in France & I couldn't be happier. I'm not sure if it's true, but most people prefer the season they were born in. I was born in the middle of the summer and it's absolutely my favorite season. Sunshine, people-watching from a sunny café terrace, leaving the house without a jacket, sunbathing & Read article…
