Yep, it's that time again. The "R" is back in the month, and it will stay that way for a while. The temperatures are dropping and the days are getting shorter. And we're complaining more. But okay, sometimes that is...

Today, September 30, it's time for another family day in the Netherlands! Today is Brother and Sister Day, a day created by Giel Beelen. Even though brothers and sisters can sometimes get into fights and pull each other's hair, it's...

Okay, time to get sweet. Because yes, your heart does melt when you think of your mini-me. About those soft locks of hair. About that first pair of stylish shoes. About those cute little teeth. The fact that you made...

Whether you're still pregnant or already have a beautiful child on the way, when it comes to buying baby products it comes down to the same thing: you know you're going to need a lot of them or you already...

Ever come across someone who doesn't like music? Exactly, we think so. Although everyone has their taste in music (which can sometimes lead to heated discussions), everyone can appreciate music enormously. So much so that we can't even live without...

Yaay, it's almost here: your bestie's baby shower, or maybe your sister's or your fave colleague a.k.a. work buddy's. You're proud of what you (the organizers, duh) can almost pull off on the Big Day of the Baby Shower. But...organizing...

Today, 13 September, is a very important day. It is World Chocolate Day. Yes, a day that is completely dedicated to chocolate. I don't think I have ever agreed with anything so much. Because that sweet snack simply deserves to...

Do you have an extreme need to clean during pregnancy? Are you obsessively cleaning your house before the little one arrives? Yep, then there is only one diagnosis possible: a severe form of nesting urge. Don't need a doctor to...

Time to eat! That means time for a party, right? Unfortunately, for some kids dinner time is not always one of their favorite moments of the day, no matter how hard it can be to imagine (because: yes, finally something...

Empty bags of chips while binge-watching a Netflix series. To the irritation of your hubby. Because that one exciting scene just can't be understood because of all the crackling you are doing. Or maybe you're the person who manages to...

Influencers: you hate them or you love them. Nothing, but then nothing in between. On the one hand, you have the camp that likes every picture of an influencer, scrolls all too enthusiastically through their profiles, and in the meantime...

Complaining about the sweetness of women wearing the same thing as their little daughter? Guilty. This is probably true for most of us. "Geez, there's another case of her trying to make her daughter a little version of herself with...

Sometimes I can hardly believe it myself. In 5 to 6 weeks we would see a little girl in the crib (if I gave birth at 37/38 weeks). The temperatures have been rising considerably in recent weeks and since we...
