A blog-sabbatical for Bloesem but as a mom of 2 beautiful boys and being surrounded with lot’s of
kids stuff I have decided to keep sharing my posts at BloesemKids
during the summer, so if you miss me too, please hop over to B:Kids and
see how we are doing!

It has been an exhausting, but fun week last week for me and my family … moving house with 2,5 month old baby and a three year old in temperatures of 30 degrees and higher does make it more difficlt then just simply move house with the two of us. But we are also happy, relieved and content with the decorating results so far and of course having our doors open to a garden with a swimming pool in it makes all the difference and gives us a tremendous luxurious feel … wow life can be good!

Because we are renting I have to accept some aspects of the house which I never and I say NEVER would choose for my own house … here we go::

*2 horrible huge mirrors from top to bottom in the living room … anybody any suggestions what to do with these

*teinted glass in the windows everywhere … must be honest to say that it keeps the house cooler

*shiny tiles on te floor, oh I wish I could paint the floor off-white, my furniture would look so much better…

I received an email from Adam from Etsy about an international seller survey they have held a little while ago of their international (non-US-based) sellers and the results are pretty interesting … particularly notable statistic that emerged was that the majority of our international community found out about Etsy through word-of-mouth or from personal blogs … would you like to read more, just click here! {ps. artwork is by Aliette}
