Hello Suriname

It has been a while since I've posted on this blog but I hope to be posting more again in the coming time. 

 Today another Hello Monday post.

Hello Monday,

Hello to being away for over two months to visit my mum in South America.

Hello to mosquito bites and heat, using vape and watching tv in the living room with two fans on at the same time.

Hello to wearing summer clothes every single day.

Hello to home schooling my youngest girls so they won’t get too behind at school when we are back.



Hello to going against the country customs and having dinner in the evening instead of around 1.00.

Hello to power cuts of which we luckily only had one.

Hello to swimming in coca cola coloured water at the kids’ grandparents place from fathers’ side.

Hello to seeing mum/grandma every single day as she comes to visit us in her second house where we’re staying.

Hello to getting the chance to sit on cousin’s horse.



Hello to watching the newest movies on tv because that is possible here.

Hello to having baths in cold water and sometimes outside in a tub.



Hello to cooking and eating vegetables from my mums garden.

Hello Suriname.

It takes some getting used to but we are blessed that we can be here for a while.

Hello to all that’s still to come.


What are you saying hello to today ?





Love,

Mummy, I need your 'pookie'

It’s World Breastfeeding Week from August 1st to August 7th 2013 and this year’s theme is Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers. You can read more about it on http://worldbreastfeedingweek.org . The focus is on community support, particularly in the form of peer-to-peer support. To show support for World Breastfeeding Week, the Irish Parenting Bloggers group is holding a blog march about varied breastfeeding experiences, including experiences with breastfeeding support in Ireland. This inspired me to write a post about breastfeeding as well. My breast feeding journey When I was pregnant with my first child, I decided that it would be a great idea to combine breast- and bottle feeding. But in the hospital they convinced me how healthy and important it was to breastfeed exclusively and then I decided to go that road. I got a breast pump to express milk so my baby could get a bottle with breast milk when I was out and about or for the scarce times that I would leave her...

Nevaehs Summer Bucket list

Unfortunately, it seems that this year the Autumn weather has started earlier than last year.  And so I finally wanted to write a blog post to share Nevaehs Summer Bucket list with you. This Summer, we mostly stayed in the Netherlands. We only went to Germany to visit Moviepark Germany for two days. At the beginning of the break, the girls entertained themselves by playing games and watching youtube video’s on their tablets and laptop. This bothered me a bit, so one evening I called them all together to sit down and told them to make a bucketlist for the Summer. The first one to finish was allowed to have the last bit of ice cream. Nevaeh can already write a little bit but I told her that she could draw instead. So she made a bucketlist with 10 items on it. The actual bucket list got lost somewhere but we memorized what was on it and I’m glad to say that she has been able to do all the items on it. So here is Nevaehs Summer Bucket List. 1 Go to the playground ...
