All nice and nice, but after three weeks of husband and children in the house, I know who is making the most mess here. I wont say that things are always spick and span here, but the rest of my family is quite an asset when it comes to the current mess in the house! I dont know about you, but I made

I dont know if Im one of the few, but I felt like a really bad mother again today because of my own negligence. Ill tell you why. Lotte has been on crutches for 2 weeks now because she twisted her knee band during gym class. There went our ski holiday again 😉 . But apart from the skiing holiday, I

Finally, spring is just around the corner! And after the rain that has fallen from the sky again this winter, we are all ready for that. The only problem:now that the sun is finally shining, we have the corona virus, and we are advised to stay indoors as much as possible. Argh! How are we going to k

We have written before about setting up a child-friendly garden, where of course several great ideas have emerged for children. One such idea is, for example, a wooden play tower. We used to have them in the garden ourselves! These wooden playground equipment also come in all kinds of variants and w

I get it, theyre not on vacation, those kids of ours. However, they are not quite sure about that yet. Adolescent son in particular is still in consultation with himself about what should be done and there is absolutely no question of being bored. Lotte has already put together her own schedule yest

Much has already been written about the corona virus, so maybe you are already done with it. But I still want to get this out. After having felt the consequences of the virus in our own household during this first week, I must say something from the heart:that position I of the adolescent brain... g

Empty classrooms, an empty schoolyard. Last week we couldnt imagine anything with this. At the time, you and the team ensured a good occupation of the school. Teachers with complaints stayed at home. Everything for the health of the children. And the rest of the team received all primary school stud

One minute they cant read and write… And the next theyre typing all day long. Is your teenager also quite mobile? Unless you want to reach them, right? Our not so little girl, at least. Our teenage girls phone is red hot and barely has a moment of rest. And so she also had certain requirements when

This is how your child stays angry , while you clearly explained why it is not allowed. Im so tired of it… The same questions over and over and I keep explaining why its not allowed. I also dont understand what Im doing wrong, Im doing it exactly as it should. I name his feeling, I say I understand

Weve done an unboxing again, its been a long time! This time its an unboxing of the Na! After! After! surprise. Lotte has been looking for days at the beautiful pink suitcase in the kitchen, ready to be unboxed, but it never came. Finally I could make time for it and she was eager. In another way, u

Attention moms and dads! Do you have a star baker at home? And not Mom or Dad themselves… But a junior star baker? Does your mini-me absolutely love baking? Then we have good news for you:Heel Holland Bakt is coming with a special childrens edition! For years we have been able to feast on the grow

Weve written a lot about screen usage here. Thats not surprising, because nowadays we are working on it for a large part of the day. Whether we are large or somewhat smaller people. How much time does your son or daughter spend on screen time every day? And to what extent do you know exactly what th

A snack for mom, and a snack for dad… You are busy as a parent. Either they refuse to eat, or you wont get the toddler snacks. And then the question is:what do you actually give them? Do you go for standard jars from the supermarket, or do you prefer to make something yourself? Or do you go for a mi

They say, oh my god, I see the way you shine – Take your hand, my dear, and place them both in mine † You know you stopped me dead while I was passing by – And now I beg to see you dance just one more time. From my daughters room comes the music of Dance Monkey. This song is sung along, quite cleanl

If your child is a horse girl, you cant just change that. It is a kind of love that cannot be stopped. Whether you got it from your parents or not, it doesnt matter… youre a horse girl or youre not. One of our guest bloggers describes how her girls love for horses blossoms. Table of contents If

No matter how big they get… It turns out to be difficult to keep an eye on their belongings! For many teenagers it is an almost impossible task to keep all their junk (pardon me!) together. And that general mess isnt that bad, but thats how it goes with public transport cards, keys and school books.

Just a few more weeks and then the whole of the Netherlands will be able to get acquainted with TIMIO; an audio and music player for children between the ages of 3 and 7. We asked Claire from Claires Mission, who is currently expecting her first child, to review this new gadget for us. Curious about

Do you also enjoy playing a game together? Not watching Sesame Street on television or other screen time for a while... But just old-fashioned all around the kitchen table. Thats still fun! And certainly if you have a well-stocked game cabinet. We do have a recommendation for that:Smart Farmer. A su

I like wooden toys. And from the Hema 😉 . So the combination of wooden toys at Hema makes me curious, you understand that. In this period of wish lists that are skyrocketing, the wooden toys of the Hema are an absolute must I think. Look how nice it looks. If sustainability is something on your pr
