  • Advent Calendar Overview

    Advent Calendar Overview For the first 24 days of December 2015, my blog was turned into a multi-contributor Advent Calendar. It was definitely something fun, even though I realised that doing such a dense series takes a lot of time. I actually did far less writing than I had thought,…

  • A big thank you!

  • How to make a blogger happy

  • What I want to say

    I am staring at the blank screen, not knowing what to write. Actually not knowing how to phrase what I want to say today. Over the last few weeks my blog has grown, not much has changed. I try to write regularly, and at the moment I post something every…

  • looking back and looking ahead

    Today, I am meant to publish a book review, but the book I considered reviewing (for weeks now) just leaves me without inspiration, and I read it 3 times in the last 15 years! So I am skipping the book review for now and am using today to share the quarter’s…

    Some time ago I was nominated for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award by Aquileana, who I would like to thank for thinking of me with this award, and not asking too many questions (actually there are no questions to be answered here). It is the second award that I have…

  • Love-Hate Challenge

    Some time ago my blogging friend, S.D. Gates (who by the way wrote this amazing book), tagged me in the Love-Hate Challenge. As I have seen on many other blogs, the word “hate” has been disliked by a lot of people, myself included. So I will list 10 things I…

  • I am in trouble

    It seems that I am in trouble. Yesterday, and the day before yesterday, S. told me off for not writing lately, and he’s not been happy about the fact that I have been neglecting my blog. I have been doing so, yes I have neglected writing and blogging a lot…

  • Post A to Z Road Trip

    Yesterday, I signed up for the Post A-to-Z Road Trip, on the A to Z Challenge page (thanks for the image included in this post) so in a way this post should have gone up then (I am writing this yesterday, HA!) and this very post is taking the slot…

    Yesterday Melissa Barker-Simpson nominated me for my fist ever blogging award, the Real Neat Blog Award. And guess what, I am flattered to be considered for an award. Melissa, thank you so much! As it seems to be the tradition with awards, she has asked all of her nominees a…

  • My first A to Z Challenge – Reflections Post

    April is over, 30 days that went by in a flash! There is more than one reason for that: April was a beautiful month, we had summer weather most of the time. | During April I worked quite a bit more than in the previous months. | And of course there…
