Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

It’s been a while since I frequented my own blog. My sincerest apologies. What was going to be a time to blog about Christmas traditions, family get-togethers, New Year resolutions and what else, evaporated into nothing. I can only say, I needed a break. So I switched off completely. My phone was already dead and [...]

Sebastian got sent home today. With a slight fever and a cranky mood he was not welcome anymore at the daycare. Reinout sent me a clip documenting the evidence….

I can’t help but thinking of Paris, the city of light and love. We are going there next week, first to Disneyland and then a few days shopping, dining and socializing. Every time I go there, I make a personal commitment to visit the Christian Louboutin store. It has become the holy grail of shoes [...]

When you are ill and bed ridden, there is only one thing you can do…escape. Not litterally, although you surely wish you could, but by letting your mind drift away on things and matters that you wish for in life. Life is so darn hectic, leaving very little time for creativity and imagination. There is [...]
