The second day of school. The fortune of living close by means we do not have to rush, but the misfortune means I often loose track of time. So I rush out the door with the children, dropped the first at the school, and biked on with my second to her daycare. After this, I begin the journey to work, looking forward...

There was a draft, a detailed version of the week. The week did not go as designed. My mind feels the weight of having no focus, scattered words, learning, thoughts, ideas; scattered brings no peace. I type this, a entirely different version from what I intended; my daughter home due to stomach flu — she is...

Just discovered HTML5 canvas and I am going down a rabbit hole and I know my brain will not let me sleep with all the ideas... I miss learning something to code and this just woke up the monster.#coding #website #ideasThank you for following my feed! ♥ Leave a reply here.

Sometimes I feel I need to simplify my website... so many areas I do not use and yet they feel part of me, so it is hard to let go... maybe I will redesign the blog again on it's own theme to allow me freedom of design; which is part of what I enjoy about blogging.#website #ideas #blogThank you for following my...

“A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls. Story-tellers and poets spend their lives learning that...

a tour of creating a family reading culture In the Netherlands, many families are in possession of magnificent ceiling-tall bookshelves — a practice I always envied. A shelf seems like an integral part of any well-doted intellectual family. The rows of books collected through the lifetime of each household...

Another week, another reflection. Though I ponder about the format of this text, as the weeks go by, as I figure out the ways to access my thoughts and write in ways which only I wish to write; minimalistic or not. I do not pretend to rely on empty words, purposeless prose. I could write simply in my journal, on my...

I am pausing for this. But OMG this book is so good!!! If you like time travel and far away future, this is great! Feels a lot like The Time Machine. I cannot put it down.

I'm currently reading “The Notebook: a history of thinking on paper” by Roland Allen. Here I am, urged to think on paper. I grow increasingly jealous of those in ownership of discipline and solitude for thoughts. My motherhood years have just begun and I can only feel gratitude when I look at my perfect children....

[!NOTE](As I minimise screen time during my holidays, I must admit I still scanned my RSS feed every couple of days — only the favourites tab — and saved anything interesting on Instapaper to read on my Kobo; with the intention of writing a blog post, here's one of those.) Axxuy wrote that she uses mainly the...

With some delays, this week’s reflections will be brief. offline Offline week concluded prematurely, due to feelings of defeat as I watched screen-time going up — due to children using my phone for music and evening TV time (they are allowed 30 minutes). Should not bother me. The goal is not zero screen-time, but...
