Fracas Noir || Susanne Waldau - te Brake I swear to tell the truth as I know it…

Whilst I love a good plan, and run my life through excel sheets and flowcharts, there has to be room for improvisation.  Although I wish I could be on time with putting Victoria to bed, having dinner on the table, feeding Sebastian on the dot of the hour it just doesn’t work that way. Domestic [...]

On Saturday coming back from my appointment at the hairdresser I was met by Reinout as I walked in. He didn’t say anything, and neither did I. I knew my words would be redundant and so I decided against saying anything. Instead we were just standing there, holding on to eachother for what felt like [...]

I’m just back from the gym. It’s a beautiful morning, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. The sun is filling me with energy, and I need it. Last week was far too busy.  This week doesn’t look to be any better. Reinout and I are leaving for Copenhagen on Thursday. In the [...]

I’ve been incredibly bad at updating my blog the last couple of days for the simple reason that I’ve had too much to do. I will make amends as of next week, that’s a promise.
Friday we had an important family matter to resolve which took most of the morning. After this Victoria and I ventured [...]

I anticipated the week was going to kill me off…well almost. I’m beyond exhausted, and instead of letting my words flow, I will have to let the pictures tell their story…

My colleagues came with a fab present for Sebastian [...]

Just came off a call discussing our project plan. It’s great to finally have a visual  overview of our project, which is already sprawling with more and more people involved. I’ve taken on quite some more work, so I will have to get into a better shape in terms of being more optimised and structurized. [...]

The day would literally never end. We’ve been dashing from one place to another and then to the next. Victoria got her BMR vaccination, I got some breastfeeding paraphernalia, and Victoria was treated to a pink chaise lounge from IKEA as an early birthday present. After we came home at 5 pm, I did an [...]

I admit, my days and weeks can never be compared to my husbands. He has several companies to run, teams to manage, decisions to make. I don’t. I’m on maternity leave and with that it’s expected that you take it easy, feed and take care of the little on, do the house holding and go [...]

When you think you have everything under control, you realise soon enough you don’t. It’s what they call Murphy’s Law -  in other words, everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
As I was submitting my morning blog entry and was just about to get on with some work I got a call from [...]

I’ve been thinking about the priorities in my life right now. I’m the kind of person that needs organisation in order to function. If I don’t have that I lose the overview easily. I’m also more visual than verbal so I need to have things written down, preferably in pie chats and process flows, in [...]
