A few more goals for May (Day 8)

It has not been easy to make sure to post on my blog every day. I normally don’t have posts done in advance, ready to be published. I had a few on my old laptop but i lost them when the hard drive broke. And I have two on this one and one on paper somewhere, which are not completely finished or need to be updated but I don’t really feel like doing those posts either.
And lately I have been playing a game online which just takes up your time (haha, I do it instead of watching tv though ) and so these last two days I only started writing a post, when I thought about going to bed. Bad, I know !

Since it is an hour later in Ireland and my blog still has Irish time, I still managed to publish ‘on time.’
But for the coming time I’m going to try to start writing some posts in advance.
School starts again tomorrow so I will be starting with a new daily schedule and I have set some time apart to spend on blogging and blog-related things.
Doing the 30 day challenge of wearing dresses and skirts every day has not been easy either.
It takes more time to get ready , because I really need to look at which outfit to put together for the day. And then I need to remember to get a picture taken and finally post it on facebook. (If I am a bit honest having the picture taken is the hardest part and I sometimes get a little tired of it)
I have done all of it except from posting online. I am a little behind !!
But I had some problems with picasa too so it was not easy to get the pictures uploaded to my laptop either.  The challenge that came with it, to put some make up on and make sure my hair looks decent, has been a lot easier. I am getting better in it and it still goes quite fast.
I am still happy with these goals though and I have thought about what other goals I could add for myself for the month of May.
So I am going to share them in this post.

-Increasing physical activity.

It is clear from my pictures that I was in better shape last Summer and for the last years I have always had some physical activity whether it was walking a lot, jogging, fitness with tv or youtube or really going to a gym and do classes and workouts there.
The only physical activity I have now is walking up and down to school, shops and appointments from the girls, all here in Ijburg. It is probably not enough. I really can’t wait to join a gym again.
The warm weather is here, so no more coats to hide under.  This really is mandatory !



-Organizing the whole house

It Is time. I want the house organized. No excuses. It needs to be done. I know that I have little ‘mess makers’  who make it a little hard and that I really have a lot on my mind lately. But I know we can do this. I’m going for it !

-Creating a bed room that I love.

Since the girls love to stay over in my room, this is currently the least organized place in the house. Unacceptable ! It is going to become a ‘mommy place’ again. A place that I love to see and to be in and that I one day can share with another grown up again. Bye girlies ! J

-Learn to cook Romanian food.

I have been learning Romanian and really feel connected to this country and the people and I really think it would be nice to learn to cook Romanian food. So I want to try to at least make one Romanian dish this month.

-Give more grace to myself and be more patient with myself

I am someone who can be really hard on myself. I somehow seem to really expect perfection from myself. I can feel really bad when something does not go as planned and I can really blame myself for stuff that does not work out or I get disappointed in decisions that I have made or things that I have forgotten or failed to do or the way that I have reacted to something.
I’m trying  apart from giving grace to others, to also give grace to myself and to not be so hard on myself. I am not perfect, life will never be perfect. I can strive for perfection but it is okay that I’m not.

-Drink more water daily.

This one will not be easy. I have tried it a lot of times. You always read everywhere how healthy drinking water is and how it can help with weight loss. I have not been able to stick with it for more than a few days. I would love for it to become a habit. The warm weather is here and it is good to stay hydrated.
Water it is !!


So these are my extra goals for this month. I will keep you updated about it and I hope that I will be able to succeed in my goals.
Do you have any special goals for this month ? Or do you have goals/resolutions  that you made at the beginning of the year ?
I would love to hear from you.



Love and blessings,

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 ...

Fashion Friday Kids; Tutu's and animal print

My littlest of little girls is a little fashionista. She knows what she wants and sometimes when I pick something out for her to wear, she walks to the closet, opens the door and then stands in front of it to choose another outfit for the day. She loves skirts and dresses. As mentioned in another post she often doesn’t want to wear anything else and calls most skirts and dresses ‘ballerina’. Her favourite skirts are the tutu’s. When I had to choose an outfit for her 2 nd birthday in February, I looked online on the website of H&M and found a cute dress with animal print. I decided to get it in the shop and make up an outfit by adding a pink tutu to it. I loved it and she loved it as well. The birthday outfit In the new class room for 2-3 year olds in church With big sisters in the church lounge Playing with new toys Because I love animal prints and she loved the tutu so much I couldn’t resist an outfit I found on Zulily. The biggest size that the...
