Over the last two weeks I have been playing with Gouache, and I have to say that I like it a lot. In this post I want to give you an overview of this captivating medium and hope you will give it a go too. What is Gouache? Gouache (pronounced “goo-aash” or “gwash”) is a …
Sometimes when I watch my children create freely without hesitation I’m a little bit jealous. They just create because it feels good. Sure, they have ideas they want to bring to life, and they can get frustrated at times, too. But what sets them apart is their fearless approach to trying new things, failing, and …
Today is a self care day. I used to have chemotherapy on Thursdays and still have to go to hospital every three weeks, but now Thursdays are self care days. 🌻 Bike rides, art museums, long walks, or like today breakfast with a friend and a massage. Bliss. I think everyone should have them, not …
There’s something wonderful about stepping outside to pick ingredients for breakfast. These days I like to wake up early and take some time to meditate and write before making breakfast for myself and my boys.

I’m back for another monthly review and goal setting session. You can find my first one here. May was a full and interesting month and it helped me a lot to have my goals written down like that. Self Care was my most important area to focus on and I think I managed to do …
Inspired by Leonie’s monthly review posts I want to try something similar. Looking back at April of course the biggest and best thing this month was that I had my last session of chemotherapy on the 13th of April!! I’ve been feeling so much better since then because I know I don’t have to go …
This evening I came back from my third session of Chemotherapy. I got diagnosed with breast cancer last autumn and our life has been like a roller coaster ever since. I underwent surgery and found out that I also needed three months of chemotherapy and a second drug for the whole year to get rid …
