My little bubbly boy is growing up way too fast, getting his hair chopped off was the first sign of that. He wanted big boy hair not the surfer dude hairdo I loved so much.<br />
<br />
He loves reading, swimming, minecraft, youtube films on gaming and bouncing on the trampoline that about sums up his days this summer.<br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday to my sweet bright bubbly boy !<br />

Sometimes I think he's an ass, but that's just little things now and then. In the last 25 years I have never for one second wondered if there is a better man out there, I hit the jackpot and that feels good !<br />

<br />
The dare for this month is white, and I decided to make a layout about my Personal Malden Filofax.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S5bcyu7CuPc/UxbRK0FNvPI/AAAAAAAAGGM/6J3CIlvWf5U/s1600/ddmaart2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-S5bcyu7CuPc/UxbRK0FNvPI/AAAAAAAAGGM/6J3CIlvWf5U/s1600/ddmaart2014.jpg" height="636" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used a faux filofax for years and when I purchased a smart phone decided to neglect my organiser and use the phone, it has a calendar, it can give you reminders, it made sense. But after 2 years (and my second samsung) I felt like i was always playing catch up, one step behind in my planning and important events things had to change.<br />
<br />
On <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/dtmslingerland/cute-filofaxplanners-accessoires/">Pinterest</a> and <a href="http://instagram.com/dtmslingerland">Instagram</a> I noticed that there was a new trend arising, decorating your filofax with stickers, washi and lovely colored pens.<br />
<br />
Now scrapbookers are people who like to decorate so the spark was lit again. I dug up my faux filofax, bought inserts and started playing and planning again! Lord knows I have plenty of things to decorate with {but to be honest you can never have enough washi, stickie notes or stickers}. We have plenty of fun stores in the Netherlands {HEMA, Flying Tiger, Action, Sostrene Grene, Zeeman, Wibra} but they do not have as much cute things the Walmart 1$ stationary section or cheap deals like Michaels so I try to swap on several FB pages or via Instagram. There are also lot's of fun stores online and on Etsy.<br />
<br />
Besides all the hoarding, swapping and rak'ing there's also the desire to own the prettiest filofax there is. I have a few in my collection right now, I don't use them all, some are an investment (no longer available) like the medium Mint Kikki.k planner and the personal rose Finchley. I am currently using the personal purple malden you see in the layout as an organiser and a pocket purple pennybridge as a wallet.<br />

<br />
<br />
We try to teach him all he needs to know about life, love, school and all things inbetween.<br />
He usually gives us the look of yeah right what would you know about that you are ancient ... but he gets it most of the time.<br />
<br />
The first half of middle school has been quite a challenge for him, school sucks in his opinion and although we were helping him through it he had a hard time accepting our help. We've sent him to homework classes and that seems to be working (although they do & tell him exactly the same as we were doing) his grades are improving and with that his happy bubbly personality is reappearing.<br />
<br />
Sweet Michael, please show the world what a wonderful, funny and happy boy you are, enjoy and embrace puberty and it will be a rollercoaster ride that you can look back on with a smile ! <br />

I repeatedly tell him to cherish today and tomorrow comes by too quickly... <br />
<br />
He's turned 10 today, going to the final grade of our elementary schoolsystem after the summer. He'll be really young when he goes to secondary school but doesn't care. He loves to be around older kids and wants to be treated like a 12 yr old ...<br />
<br />
Sweet bubbly boy you want to be grown so fast and me, I want to enjoy the little boy in you for a bit longer than you do ... <br />

Catching up just wasn't do-able so i've decided to let go, you can't always be a 10 and that's ok too. This is what I've learned in 2012 ! Since my word for 2012 was Embrace I'd say that I chose pretty well.<br />
<br />
I've decided not to make new years resolutions for this year, rather I've chosen to make a bucketlist, much more fun and less pressure to live up to (<a href="http://www.stukjebijbeetje.com/">inspired by the greatest blogger & mom I know</a>). Some of the things I have been thinking up/pondering about whether to add to my list are getting a small tattoo (hey I'm 42 so why not) and trying insanity workout (DH found the program) = to be continued ....<br />
<br />
Definately going on my bucketlist are ;<br />
<ul>
<li>Help sea turtles</li>
<li>Watch baby sea turtles make their way to the sea </li>
<li>a trip to NY without the kids (dudes are not happy with this one)</li>
<li>a trip to NY with the kids (LOL) </li>
<li>joining <a href="http://www.geefjijhetdoor.nl/Welkom.html">Geef jij het door</a> (the whole family is joining btw)</li>
<li>completing granny a day for a year (cheating a bit on this one since I tried this last year so I already have a few)</li>
<li>joining in and sticking to it <a href="http://fatmumslim.com.au/january-2013-photo-a-day-lets-do-this-thing/">FMSphotoaday</a> </li>
<li>take part in a 5 km run possibly 10</li>
<li>organizing a small local creative market</li>
<li>Visiting all the Dutch Islands (Texel, Vlieland, Terschelling, Ameland, Schiermonnikoog)</li>
<li>Mudflat hiking<b> (</b>Wadlopen)</li>
<li>cuddle a seal</li>
<li>see some of the worldwonders The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_%28astronomy%29" title="Aurora (astronomy)">Aurora Boreali,</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pyramid_of_Giza" title="Great Pyramid of Giza">Great Pyramid of Giza, the great barrier reef,</a> Grand Canyon, Stonehege, pyramids, Colloseum.</li>
<li> Book a Romantic trip with my big dude</li>
<li>Vacation in Hawaii, Mauritius, the ABC Islands</li>
<li>Actually make things I <a href="http://pinterest.com/dtmslingerland/projects-for-someday/">pin</a></li>
</ul>
I like my list so far, what do you think ?D@niellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05446923185745476394noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26114550.post-18663868616279849562012-08-03T00:24:00.002+02:002014-03-05T11:40:37.852+01:00~ 9 years old ~ Oh my !<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

10 years ago I married my best friend and we shared that special day with friends and family, looking through the wedding day pics I remember it wasn't the perfect day I had envisioned (not good when you're a controlfreak) but spending it with loved friends and family made it perfect for me and I let it all go..... I have been in <3 with my husband longer than I have been without him, pretty special !<br />

Today she would have turned 92 but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be. But she is forever in my <3, the only grandmother I had and i think about her and miss her every day. <br />

I really like how it turned out, haven't had that in a while. I put the eulogy that I held at her funeral in the envelope, words I never want to forget......<br />

It's hard to be honest I've been numb since friday .... I will miss her, she was the only Oma I had and for the boys it's their first loss to deal with so that's pretty difficult too.<br />
<br />
I've had many sweet messages when i told people via FB, and one person said this and I thought it was so true as I did feel that. I hope when I have grandchildren I can make them feel this too, I know my parents make sure my boys do !<br />

This is a totally spontanious picture a friend took on my wedding day as I was chatting with my oma.D@niellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05446923185745476394noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26114550.post-9352814983635695682012-01-05T10:11:00.002+01:002012-01-09T10:35:48.116+01:00Organizing a householdSo we've been trying hard for the last year to get our house decluttered and more organized and I must say (I haven't thought this for the longest time) but we're making progress. It's a very slow and painfull one you see it's going way to slow for my taste... But even with baby steps we will get there one day.<br /><br />One of the things that helped us get on track this last year was a menu planner. After using it this past year and me switching to low carb food the planner just wasn't working as it could so we adapted it, made a dry erase version by putting it in a frame and there you have it our menu planner 2.0. If anyone's interested I can email it to you so you can adapt to suit it to your lifestyle.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hOgN4GYXfGs/TwqxUR5akJI/AAAAAAAAFOU/LqENcJznblU/s1600/B5CE91BF.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hOgN4GYXfGs/TwqxUR5akJI/AAAAAAAAFOU/LqENcJznblU/s400/B5CE91BF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695559640723132562" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We also made a home management binder ( I was so inspired with the ones I saw on <a href="http://pinterest.com/dtmslingerland/organizing-solutions-made-fun/">pinterest</a>) in which every bit of info we could need that is at our fingertips (which would normaly be everywhere and nowhere) . Things like emergency contact numbers, finance info, insurance refund forms, stamps, id & library cards, discount coupons, school information, fave take out menu's, adres list etc.<br /><br />We also made a new calendar for 2012 ourselves. The family planner that we usually bought changed in format and we didn't like it one bit.

<br />Queensday was a bit of a dissapointment, my total score has never been so low; 4 boxes of embroidery floss & 2 tupperware items.... I'm going to Alkmaar next year with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=617667265">Corinne Delis</a> ;)</span><span class="messageBody"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
<br />
<br /></span>I went to the Beautician</span> for the first time in years, i used to go every month but since the kids this became less and less. It was only a basic appointment but I definately want to go again and for an extensive one soon !<span class="messageBody">
<br />
<br />My paypall account was hacked, that is not a joke people ... It takes all kinds of hassle to get this fixed !</span><span class="messageBody">
<br />
<br /></span>The boys took part in the peanutball school tournament, they won :) Although Ed, who played coach for both their teams, told the boys all games were a draw ;) They loved being the best in their team and sometimes it feels great to rock and show off for your classmates.<span class="messageBody">
<br />
<br />I went to the springmarket in Heemstede with my mom, sun was shining, it was fun ! Said hi to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000644426398">Danielle Muit-Krusel</a> who was working there and ran into my friend Leonieke, it was a huge market with a wide variety of stalls.</span>
<br />
<br />We gave the garage a good reorganisation, basically it was a lot of trash and putting shelves in to give things a new place; we can finally fit all of our bikes.
<br />
<br />We watched a bunch of movies; <span class="messageBody"> Toy story 3 (1/2), the hobbit, TRON, transporter 3, SITC 2, Soulmen, the wolfman and </span>Cadillac Records.
<br />
<br /><span class="messageBody">We spent the weekend in germany for mom's bday, it was great to spend some time with my aunt & uncle and their kids. We went siteseeing, shopping and had a bbq. Funny thing was that my brother and his girlfriend drove up with us and the kids went a day earlier with my parents, turns out</span><span><span class="messageBody">there's no difference between having them on the backseat or our kids LOL just as quiet ...</span></span><span class="messageBody"> They really should stop making out in public, but since they're so young & in love and such a cute couple, they're forgiven ....

<br /></span>At 40 years old I still have never been to the Zuiderzeemuseum, so we wanted to do something cultural and took the kids. It was fun, and not so busy so we got a great tour in one of the fishers family homes, the kids got to lie in a bedstead and play some oldfashioned kids games.

<br /><span class="messageBody">The kids had a schooltrip to <a href="http://www.archeon.nl/engels/home.html">Archeon</a>, i volunteerd to go along accompanying Colin & a few classmates. We saw almost everything there was and did some fun things like make fire, drink tea from a fire, make pre historic jewelry, repair pots, played a viking game, archery, make a felt bracelet and speer throwing. I gave the kids some extra lunch because the lunch provided wasn't enought and I was the best, according to the kids....</span>

<br />
<br />The boys had a day off from school and since Michael was going away for the day so we went out for lunch with Colin at a goatsfarm in Amstelveen, he got to feed them bottles, play a little on the playground and we had a good walk in the woods. But mind you goats are not only cute, playfull and they like to eat your clothes ...<span style="font-weight: bold;">

<br />Colin & I both got glasses, Colin needed them for school and watching tv from a distance. Appearantly he has trouble reading beyond 4 mtrs, the letters are distorted to him but he refused to admit it even after tests. He can grow out of it but for now he has a pair at school (orang/black) and a pair at home (green/black). I got mine as I kept getting headaches at work because of my increased computer screen work. Here they are :

<br />We had a spontanious dinner with Michael's bball team, wow that was a big group but we sat all the kids at one table and all the adults at one and it worked out fine @ a wok restaurant.

<br />You know what can really make my day ? When I pipe a perfect rose swirl on a cupcake, makes me smile every time I see the pic
