Finally after some very long and intense months (ehmmm it's been 2 years since our last big break!) we arrived in Spain. This past week we stayed in the Pyrenees, or even better in Spanish: los Pirineos. And that's immediately my biggest frustration of the week: I don't speak Spanish. I read and understand it Read article…

Running a rainbow with Kalenji + giveaway!
I clearly remember the day someone called me Sporty Spice for the first time. Me?! No way! But after my recent 300th run I can hardly deny it: I love running! And finding colorful or interesting things on my runs became a second nature. While I have no ambition of ever running a marathon, I Read article…
Prom’Classic in Nice with Kalenji
I never imagined running a race would actually be FUN! When I teamed up with Kalenji a few months ago to celebrate my 200th run, they challenged me to run 10K in Nice in January. For me running is rather personal, a way to just be outside, clear my head and get sweaty. Not something Read article…
United colors of Charlie
There was something in the air this Sunday. No pun intended, it was not only the airplane from which I took these pictures 😉 After last week's tragic events in France, the massive amount of people that joined the unity rallies in Paris and throughout the world, made me hopeful. I was in Nice this Read article…

My personal highlights of 2014
Two thousand and fourteen was intense and left me happy and exhausted. These were some of my personal highlights: In May I opened up and shared our personal love story, the reactions were heart-warming and made me tear up. I love my husband so much! /// We finally started building a new bathroom. It’s not Read article…
Joyeux Noël!
It's one of my very rare blog traditions to reveal you our wooden tree on Christmas morning. After an intense year which included tons of Urban Jungle Bloggers fun, it was an obvious choice to dress the tree in little succulents. From newborn babies to toddlers grown from inherited plants, travel cuttings, succulent gifts, Ikea Read article…
Celebrating this week!
My week started with some beautiful fireworks. A good start of the week (for a Saturday night) of what I think will be a festive week. Not long now until I hop on the Eurostar to London where Igor and I will host our first Urban Jungle Bloggers event together with the new interiors community Read article…
Flowers for Inga
One things that I love most about blogging is getting to know all kinds of new people. Creative folks you follow from afar, people that make things happen, like-minded people that sometimes turn into new friends… And when someone who made things that you loved happen disappears, it's so so sad. Last week I found Read article…
