Not the most comfortable way to hang out, if you ask me… At night, when I can’t sleep (and that’s most nights), I make up blog posts in my mind, telling you – in careful chosen words – how I’ve been struggling mentally these past few months. But in the morning all those words have…

All over the place
One of the things on my extensive list of things to do today was to write a blogpost. I did finish almost everything else on that list but now I’m so crazy tired that I can hardly think. But I still want to post something. Skipping more than one week usually leads to skipping months…
Happy
Things that make me happy right now: :: we booked flights for an impromptu visit to The Netherlands in September. Orignally we planned to wait until December, but we both felt we needed to go earlier. We’ll be staying for a week only , but we already planned a visit to each of the girls’…
A Friday post (or: can’t think of a good title for this one)
I’m afraid this will be a bit of a non-post. I’m just not feeling it this week, but I really, really want to keep blogging. I so admire people who can just post a few times a week, every single week, on a schedule. I wish I was that steady, but I’m not.. I am…
Right now
Right now I am… … trying to wake up. I slept very well tonight and I got up rather late, but it seems I could use even more sleep (had a bad case of insomnia the last two weeks) … enjoying the morning light. We’re nearing zenith (i e. the sun will be directly above…
Not again!
I don’t think I need to add words to these pictures. She does that all the time and the plants are barely surviving. She is cute though!
Ten things
Ten things that make me happy right now: Sunsets. Of course. But also the fact that we’re trying to actually sit on the porch and watch them again. It’s the little things that count Headspace. I’ve been completely off Instagram and Youtube for a week now. My goodness. I had no idea mindless scrolling took…
Monday musings
Happy Easter Monday! Is that a thing where you are? It is in the Netherlands, and also here on the island. So despite my intention to start full on blogging again, I’m now on my phone, trying to at least post something, while we’re still in long-weekend mode. Today is also Seú, the harvest parade,…
Checking in
No, I didn’t quit blogging again. I just skipped a post and than another one and before I knew it I stopped blogging completely and had a hard time starting again. I’ve been thinking about blogging a lot, but somehow I couldn’t find my way back. I kept thinking that I needed something worth posting…
So much pink
In other garden news ( I know… I hope to have something else to blog about soon): I really, really want to have a lot of bougainvillea in my garden. So when our neighbor was cutting his back, we asked for some branches to take cuttings. If they all root (that can take 3-4 months!)…
