Oscars party

A few weeks ago we had a party to celebrate Oscars birth. It was a wonderfull sunny afternoon!

back to work

Tomorrow I have to go back to work, after being at home for the past 5 months. A lot has happened since, with Oscars birth as the main event :-)! After 3 months he has grown alot and is no longer a fragile newborn...so I guess he's ready for daycare. Its time to step back into the real world, trying to figure out the new me; a fulltime working mother of two!!

winter boots

I made her stand in the middle of the street to take a good shot of her new boots. She did NOT like it!

Birth Card

The card I made for Oscar.
This is the one I made for Annabel

Meet Oscar

This is Oscar, born on November 4th. I'm in love!

waiting

I've got exactly 5 days to go untill my due date. So we are just hanging around the house,acting silly and trying not to stress over the delivery.

'Stadsmussen'

These are some of the illustrations I made for 'De Prijs van de stad Hasselt' an illustrating competition. I already entered it 4 years ago, and got nominated, this time unfortunatly, I didn't get selected.
To enter, you have to make a book for children aged 2-7y. My design is called 'Stadsmussen' and tells a story (without words) about animals who live in the city, for really young kids.

Baking class

Up to this point I've always used recipes out of books or from the internet to bake. But I actually would love to learn it properly, so my sister and I started a baking course. It's really fun and the cakes I've brought home so far are absolutely delicious. Normally I'm not really a fan of these kind of cakes, but it was suprisingly yummy!! :-)

Fall walk

Annabel spend the weekend over at her grandparents. They took her for a long walk and she absolutely loved it. It's a pitty we weren't there seeing her enthousiasm over the mushrooms and the animals. Fall has arrived!

I'm back!

After a very long summer blog break I'm back. I'll have a lot more time coming up, seeing that I'm at home all day, being very pregnant :-)

Molleke

For several months now, watching 'Molleke' has become Annabels bedtime ritual. Robin and I always wonder how the makers come up with some of the crazy stories.

Last Sunday we had a small b'day party for Annabel. I made this chocolate cake (with huge chunks of chocolate) for the first time and it turned out to be quite a succes :-)! A wonder, after having to tripple the bakingtime it said in the recipe. A perfect dessert in the very hot weather!

Annabel turned 2 today! She's defenitly no longer a baby.
