Allow me to share with you something that happened this past weekend. Back in January I had visited a wondrous place called Global Garden. It’s a giant store filled to the brim with outdoor and decor. Think of a mixture between the garden section of Lowe’s and Pier 1 Imports under one roof. It’s heaven, let me tell you. Anyway, the last time I had visited, there were terrariums on display. Now they were reasonably priced at a little under…
It’s easy to fall into a routine that’s pretty lackluster. We become content with a messy room or put off doing busy work as long as can just because it feels too tedious. If we take the time to develop healthy habits, a boring routine can easily be defeated. Doing mundane things can actually be fun and in the end, you feel better about yourself and your personal environment. A new routine can be anything from simply cleaning up after…
The fantastic thing about being a photographer, is that you can reinvent yourself a thousand times. If you love taking photos, you can express yourself in a million ways via these images. It’s how you see the world and how you want to show it to others. While I would still call myself an amature when it comes to photography. This is also a reason for why I can’t find a particular style. I can’t focus on one thing to…
If you’ve ever owned a pet, you know how much personality can be packed into such a compact package. It doesn’t matter if you have a large dog or a tiny cat, it’s all the same. Our pets are important to us. We care for them and love them because they’re a part of the family. We take them on adventures and care for them if they get ill. How could we not want to document all the times we…
We’ve all seen them. Articles and posts about making a cake that comes out looking like heaven on a platter. It feels so good to picture ourselves creating such a masterpiece and enjoying it still warm from the oven. But how often do we commit to making them? Usually never, am I right? Baking usually requires a reason. I like baking cookies because I’m craving something from home. I can’t buy sugar cookies here. I make them instead. My Dutch…
Spring is still a little ways off but it’s never to early to get a head start. Aside from deciding on what exciting things can be done once the weather is warmer, here’s a list of other things to consider! Get yourself organized We recently purchased a new wardrobe for our bedroom. We seriously needed it as the smaller one was perfect for Sander alone. Now we have more than enough room for all of our clothing and more! This…
It’s super easy to fall out of reading books. All it takes is a little procrastination and BAM! “I forgot I had been reading that book and I won’t remember about it for a few months. By then I’ve forgotten what it was about and I should start over. That’s going to be a pain to do so I won’t read it right now.” Anyone else in that same boat? I’ve been there loads of times. I love reading. My…
It’s difficult to remain happy as warm summer days are replaced by short and colder ones. Even though I love the rain and autumn in general, I find myself getting too cozy at home and unwilling to go out in the rain. So how do I get the motivation to get up and moving? Indulge in healthy versions of comfort foods I love autumn for it’s comfort foods. It’s cold outside and a full belly makes me content but let’s…
I know that it’s difficult to get out and experience something new. Especially if one has lived in a location all their life. Fortunately for me, I’m still pretty new to this city. Sander, however, has lived here for around six years and is still discovering new perks about this town. So how does Sander keep uncovering new experiences in a town he’s lived in for so long? He decided to be a tourist! Stop and look around I enjoy…
