The 31 day Challenge: The photos

I must admit it was not easy holding on to this challenge, my plan to get to know my camera did not happen, somehow I did not find the time or the courage to sit down and get into the details of all the items and options...

I tried to take a step back and capture the person I am today, the life I lead and the people closest to me (although I would have liked more photos with my man). I tried to find things that define me at this point in my life, seems like I am a mommy and wife most of all. And I am pretty happy with that role. There is a time for everything.

I'm not 20 anymore physically nor mentally, but quite frankly, I would not want to be it either. So I'll embrace the little lines under my eyes, because they are proof of my life, my emotions and my experiences, good and bad.

(PS: the picture I'm holding in one of the pictures hereunder was taken almost 10 years ago)

and now we 're done with the selfies! Pfieuw

Hometour: The Living Room

On with the home tour in 2014: Today our living room. The space in our house where we relax on the sofa, talk, sometimes eat, work on the blog in my little home office space. A place where we can be together as a family. In the beginning when we lived here, we only had the sofa and another coffee table in place, over the years (almost 3) we personalised the living room with vintage finds (the desk, the tomado), some new items, some memories, some art and some photos. And not to forget, Olivia's toy corner under the stairs - she can play anywhere she wants with her toys but it is nice that at the end of the day, when she sleeps, we still have an 'adult' space that is to our taste. We recently added the new coffee table and the carpet. For us, it is perfect now. Although the dream is still to have a real fireplace in the future. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year to all of you reading my blog. I have taken a bit of a blog-break this past week, but now I am totally back to share our little family adventures.

We said goodbye to 2013 with an intimate family dinner with all sorts of yummie food, including foie gras, carpaccio des St Jacques with mango, Lobster and of course cake and champagne.
