Mindfulness ✨... is the gift of a second child ♥️ With my firstborn I didn’t know that everything goes by so fast. “The days are long but the years are short” as they say.. This I have learned with her. With a second born there is a new chance, a new chance to see these little hands, to smell the soft skin and look into the wise eyes of a newborn. There is a new chance to be born as a mother, to learn humility again as this child is a new person, a different person than my firstborn, a new teacher that teaches me new lessons.
Shared spaces between siblings in our Montessori- inspired home ♥️♥️ A new guided tour of our home on the blog (link in the bio). This time I’m showing you our playspace that my 4 y.o daughter is now sharing with her baby brother ♥️♥️✨
Pure love ❤️ He is here ✨
Siblings and Sharing ♥️✨ With a little one coming soon in our family, I have obviously reflected a lot about … siblings. And inescapably, about sharing. My daughter has lived the first 4 years of her life as an only child and the first 3 years, as the only grand-child on both sides of our family. And now, here comes a sibling. She has to share with him our space, her toys, our time and even us, her parents. Everything! Everything? From a very young age, children are expected to share... But how much we, as grown-ups, are willing to share? How much do we actually share? On the blog you will find ideas that worked for us and that you might want to consider when it comes to sharing (and especially between siblings)- Link in the bio ✨
Our minimalistic Gratitude Advent Calendar ✨ Many of you liked our Gratitude Advent Calendar that I have shared on the blog a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for spreading the idea around ♥️✨ I have received requests to share how the calendar looks like so here it is: a DIY on the blog (link in the bio) for this minimalistic advent calendar and a simple advent wreath. We keep things really simple at this time of the year and focus on the time spent together and on creating authentic family traditions. Would love to hear how you enjoying and celebrating the Winter festivals ♥️✨
Inspiring Christmas Books for Children ✨ A beautiful collection of Christmas books (and CDs) is waiting for you on the blog ✨ Inspiring books about the values behind the Christmas celebration. I hope you will enjoy it. The link is in the bio ♥️✨
Happy Thanksgiving ✨ .. to all of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving today. What I love about Thanksgiving is “giving thanks” and this is something we can all do, a little bit every day ✨♥️
Winter Books ❄️ ✨ It’s freezing outside, the Christmas Markets are opening tomorrow, the trees have lost all their leaves and the squirrels are hiding nuts in our garden. Winter is here for sure. I have written on the blog about our winter books. You will find gorgeous books in English, French, German, Romanian, Italian, Spanish... Lovely to read with your little ones during the cold, dark days, they would also make beautiful gifts for children if you are looking for ideas for Christmas and Hanukkah. The link is in the bio ✨♥️
Our Winter/ “Hibernation” Rhythm ❄️✨ It’s a special time for our family. We are enjoying our days as a family of three and at the same time intentionally preparing for the arrival of a new baby. Things will probably change a lot in the next weeks and I am already reflecting on our Winter Rhythm, an even slower, more minimalistic and flexible version of our Autumn Rhythm. You can see and read about our Winter Rhythm on the blog (link in the bio) How is your Family Rhythm at the moment? ♥️✨
