around here | february

Around here we try to spend as much time as a family together as possible. We go for family walks on the weekends and even though kids always complain before we go, they always have fun outside. I can’t wait for the warmer weather to come so we can switch to bike rides.

Around here the rainbow loom craziness goes on and on. I love how kids stretch their creativity and are able to pick up different techniques from videos on youtube.

Around here both kids are also into minecraft. And again, their creativity and ability of finding new designs just fascinates me.

Around here I’m trying to live up to my one little word, which is thrive. I still struggle with time pressure a lot but lately I force myself more often to just do stuff which makes me happy and let go of things which are not so important to me. On a professional side , I hope that one day I will find a job which makes me thrive as well. I’ve found out about myself that I’m not a 9-5 sitting-at-the-desk person and that I need to do more creative/thinking/moving around stuff than I do now otherwise my inner self “quietly suffers“.

Around here I’ve slowly started to train for my biking race which will take a place at the end of July. I did the shorter one last year (86km) but for this year I’ve signed up for the longer distance (160km). I would also like to loose some weight. I wish I could be as strong and determined as Ivo so I wouldn’t be failing in my attempts of regular exercising.

Around here I’m growing out my hair again. I can’t wait to be able to put it into ponytail without hair falling out from the sides.

Around here I love getting short lovely messages from kids. They both got their own iPods and text me while I’m at work. Love love those little notes, they are totally priceless.

Around here the mornings outside are so magical lately.

Around here things are good.
