Nesting!
Yes, its a bit too early in the pregnancy, I am a bit of a control-freak and I have so many things in my head that I want to do/prepare before the baby arrives that at times I feel overwhelmed. I have learned that the best thing to do is to start with something hence:
The baby already has 2 empty drawers in our dresser!!!
I have been organizing my kitchen cabinets so that when we are very busy with the baby we can have a simplified access to stuff.
Under the sink cabinet (and truly the only cabinet we have in the house for these stuff!!!!!) before:
what a mess!!
in progress...
Organizing tool nr. 1
Organizing tool nr. 2
Organizing tool nr. 3
The after:
I know it looks stuffed but as I mentioned its the only cabinet we have in the house for these stuff.
Kitchen cabinet before:
Organization tool nr.4
The after:
Its just simple things that I think will make our lives easier when we are to busy and tired...
I am also declutering the unnecessary but this is something I do on a regular basis (I have a donation bag prepared to deliver to one of my local charity shops).
The Mindful project day # 163
Hearty, healthy bites!
I've always liked fruit however my intake varies a bit, some days I eat a lot others just a piece. Since I am pregnant I try to eat better (though I crave a lot of sugary stuff and I don't always resist the temptation...) and I have been eating a lot of fruit. In the first trimester it was basically my all-day snack as it didn't upset my stomach as much.
I am grateful that we are able to get a great variety of good fruit (and veggies)!

Support!
I found out that here in the Netherlands you can get free babyboxs or zwangerboxs (pregnantbox) if you are expecting or already have a newborn. We are not in a bad economic situation but its not good either so every help is most welcomed.
Tus, if you live in the Netherlands, are pregnant/or already have a newborn and were unaware of this here are the places where you can sign-up for great free babykits:
-Etos;
-Kruidvat;
-Wij jongouders website;
-Hoogvliet (here you collect after you baby is born);
-Baby Dump;
-Plus (also after the baby is born);
-Jumbo;
-Nutricia;
I have registered but I am still waiting on more information to collected them (goes through your email) but once I have something I will post about it so you can see what comes with these free boxes.
Celebrating our special dates!
We don't do Valentines day on the 14th of February but we do celebrate our Love on the 11th of February as we officially started dating on the 11th of July (and got married on the 11th of March). Doesn't really matter if it makes sense to others as it makes sense to us and that's what is important.
This year and as we don't want to splurge to much, I gave my husband a chocolate heart:
It says " I love you" in Dutch!
and he surprised me with this beautiful flower bouquet:
Love the flower combination!
What makes it special, at least to me, is that its not a gift that comes attached to a "regular" festivity, its our special celebration.
So, don't forget to celebrate you special moments may they be with your other-half, with your kids or with yourself!!
The Mindful project day # 166
The new found joy of hand making stuff for my baby! I am grateful that I have time and the economic possibility to do this.
I will show you later how and what it turns into!
Have a lovely day!
