I’ve just had a good meeting for a project I am working on. I’m so excited and I seem to sleep, it and breath this project. But it’s wonderful. I have found my passion back and it feels like nothing is going to stop me now! It’s not always so easy though, and these things [...]

I’ve just finished work. It’s been an intensive day but I’m making progress on my action lists. I’m sitting here contemplating on what I am going to cook for the family. Fish sticks comes into mind but I am not sure MJ would like that who is coming over in half an hour.

There comes a time in a woman’s life when she realises that everything she learned about being being sweet, well mannered and polite was all just a myth. I remember the first days in school that pretty much shaped the rest of my school years. The girls were all sitting politely in their chairs, raising [...]

This day is infinitely better than yesterday. A lesson of salsa always helps, and a positive meeting too! Right now I am listening to some salsa music to get me in shape for tonight’s lesson at Club Fiera. Salsa has the power to make life look so damn positive. It doesn’t matter that it rains [...]

10.15 and already breakfast time. Time flies when you are having….ehum fun. There wasn’t so much fun yesterday as my mood took a dip. Perhaps it’s the late night working, the sleepless nights and the early mornings. It doesn’t help either to wake up to rain and more rain, followed by a hell of a [...]

One’s gotta love the little inventions companies such as L’oreal and Revlon come out with for the female population. As much as I want to believe their unbelievable claims of eternal youth in a gold coated jar, the rational part of my brain disagrees. So when I came across this mascara looking device containing a [...]

Why is it on the few days I have to go into the office I am also left with all the house chores at home? My routine on a Monday and Friday looks something like this: Wake up at 7.15. Put in the first set of wash for Caroline and feed Sebastian. At 8.30 when [...]

As I was waiting for my salsa teacher Sederick to arrive (he was seriously late…tisk, tisk!), Reinout came walking in unexpectedly through the door. His meeting was cancelled and instead decided to make an unannounced stop at IKEA. To my pleasant surprise, he’d been raiding the IKEA food department for some goodies….Glogg (Swedish mulled wine), [...]

I haven’t been writing a lot about my diet lately, although I haven’t lost of all those pregnancy kilos. For some time I just haven’t really cared about it. I’ve worked out as  normal and been eating a healthy diet but the kilos remains. As always with travelling, I gained weight whilst being in Paris, [...]

I am looking at my beautiful son, who is completely in awe of his dummy. He picks it up, let it dangle on his little fingers and then let it fall, only to pick it up again to start all over again. The fascination for objects is tremendous. And it slows me down. I halt [...]
