Is it Easter yet??!?!
Slowly the temperatures are rising here in Holland. Next week it will be 10 degrees Celcius, wow! Hot almost hahaha. The sun is coming out more too, which means I have Easter on my mind. I think it is time for my home to be an Easter palace. Yep, I feel like decorating Easter style already. Anyone else decorating for Easter? Or am I alone in this for now?! Easter is by far my favourite holilday. To me it spells SPRING! Flowers blooming, birds nesting, sunshine and lovely weather overall. A new start and time to start fresh, clean the home and clean the mind. What do you all think of Easter? I can't wait. To get you in the mood for Easter I have some lovely pictures for you.

First day at the bakery

Looking back #3
Hi everyone! Time for another Looking back post where I share some of the highlights of 2012 in pictures. Last time I showed you my best friends' wedding day and the best concerts I have visited in 2012. Now I will share some pictures of the holidays I went on last year. I got to visit two beautiful countries. Belgium and Switzerland. I hope you like the pictures that I took while I was there! In Belgium I visited the historic town of Brugge for a few days. It rained aloooot, but it was still a lovely place to see. In the summer I went to Switzerland, which was amazing. So beautiful with blue/green lakes and mountains. I hope to go back someday!
