Rosie's New Lovevery Toys

My baby Rosie has discovered a world of joy and wonder with her new favorite toys from Lovevery. From the moment we unpacked the box of the Charmer kit, her eyes lit up with excitement, and she hasn't been able to get enough of them since.

These thoughtfully designed toys have captivated her curiosity and sparked her imagination in the most delightful ways. As she explores each toy's vibrant colors, textures, and interactive features, I am filled with pure joy witnessing her development and growth. By far her favourite, is the blue silicone teething ring. This one goes everywhere with us; it's what has been keeping her busy morning, day and night.

Lovevery has truly created a collection of toys that not only entertain but also engage and inspire, making playtime an extraordinary journey of discovery for my precious Rosie. I cannot wait to try other kits with her.

Dutch Masters

Stepping into the Waldorf Astoria Amsterdam for the "Dutch Masters" afternoon tea with my younger sister Ellen was a true feast for the senses. The refined setting and elegant atmosphere instantly set the stage for a memorable experience. As we savored each delectable treat inspired by the masterpieces of Dutch painters, our taste buds were awakened to a symphony of flavors and textures, beautifully presented on a tiered stand.

This afternoon tea experience became a cherished memory, not just for the delectable offerings, but also for the quality time spent with my sister Ellen. It reminded us of the beauty of shared experiences, the joy of indulging in life's little luxuries, and the power of inspiration found in unexpected places.

A heatwave

As the scorching heat wave enveloped the city, the days became a paradoxical blend of pleasantness and unbearable heat. The sun's relentless embrace brought both a sense of joy and a desperate need for respite. Amidst the sweltering temperatures, coffee dates with my little one became a cherished ritual, seeking solace in the cool interiors of quaint cafes.

The Scent of Summer

Scents possess an uncanny ability to awaken long-forgotten memories. The scent of summer, with its mix of blooming flowers, can instantly transport me to carefree days of the past, spent exploring cityscapes and sipping a wine or two at riverside cafes. It’s a sensory time machine, reminding me of the joy and innocence that summer always held.

Now, as a mother, I find a new kind of freedom in the embrace of motherhood. It’s a different kind of liberation; one that allows me to witness the world through the eyes of my children, to experience the simple joys of summer anew. The scent of freedom that accompanies motherhood intertwines with the scents of summer, creating a symphony of emotions that remind me of the preciousness of this journey.

I bask in the warmth of today's sun and indulge in the present, where the scent of freedom mingles with the scents of summer — and I cherish the journey that scent takes me on.
