We were featured today on Project nursery with these images fro Matt´s room.

thank you project nursery!

back and healthy!

Sorry for my absence, these last days were like a roller coaster, sick, better, sick, better....
I needed to take a break from my computer and rest.
Now I am getting back to be my old self again. I made a few beauty appointments, take good care of what I eat and try to have our house organized, a few ingredients to my happiness.
It´s amazing how eating effects your mood and body. I am more energetic & happy.
In the mornings I make fruit and vegetable juices, I eat less meat, started to add chia seeds in my drinks. Just a few of the changes I have been doing lately.

Mr Beau was out for a week, on a boys only surfing trip in the Maldives. Surfing and snorkeling with the Dolphins, Manta rays and turtles...he had such a huge smile on his face when he came back, and was crazy to see his little Matteo again. Both of them took me out for dinner!
Happy to be back, love u guys!

Our weekend

Our weekend flew by as we went to Amsterdam as we were invited by dear friends to join their wedding. The lovely couple stand on the steps of the entrance of West Indisch huis historic building as where the mother and father of the bride were standing many years ago when they got married.

The beautiful and romantic table, I loved the fact it was one big table to sit and be able to look at all faces. It was great to have had a reunion with our dear friends.

The wedding was beautiful and intimate, just the way I like it.

I had some time left to do furniture shopping with my mum. There are always great flower shops in and near Amsterdam.

Mr Beau had time to tour with my father on the motorbikes, having lunch on route and enjoy the day doing guy stuff.

Our baby Matt, was at his other grandma´s house, letting us have couple time. He learned how to brush his teeth, as most of the times he also enjoys biting the brushy side of it.

My weekend was amazing!

Matteo´s birthday

Wow, these days are passing by fast. Saturday we celebrated Matteo´s 1st birthday for a couple of friends and close family. We did little party preparations, balloons, garland and home made food.

Just to give you an idea as I felt a little under the weather and didn´t shoot some pictures during the party.

1 year!

Our little one turned one today! This year flew by and now he´s a toddler...This weekend we will have a birthday cake to celebrate it. I took this picture this morning, he is so adorable with his number one medallion. We have been so blessed with Matteo, he´s very social, loves to be around other kids, people and animals. But this adorable face has quite a character, he knows what he wants and will make sure he gets it. He starts walking any time soon, many people told us, that it´s going to be an exhausting time...really, even more? We enjoy being with him every day, and we are very proud to discover more and more about his developments.

I bought Matteo some flowers for in his room, of course out of reach, as these common grapes are very pretty but also toxic. They do look sweet in his blue room.

And some pink tulips and white ranunculus for mommy, flowers make me happy.

Picked up this vintage white milk glass vase in last visit in amsterdam while flea market treasure hunting. It reminded me of coral, one of my favorite things.

1st birthday party, soon to come...

How great! About a year ago I had a big round belly and now in some days I am going to celebrate the 1st birthdayparty of Matteo. I wil do someting small, some snacks drinks, and a cake for family and close friends. These images are nice for inspiration.

I would live to make these cake pops...

colorful and festive, with healthy snaks for the adults

Love pompoms for children

Absolutely liked this idea of making a photograph of your baby every month at the same spot so you could see the development. So awesome.
