Did you ever have that one book as a child that you loved? That one book that left you feeling completely captivated and spellbound? That one that you wanted to read and read until you reached the end; then you wanted to pick it up and start rereading again? For me that story, that book was The BFG. Everything about the story was captivating. It was a book about dreams which left me dreaming. Dreaming of friendly giants, dream country and dreams coming true.

Be Inspired ~ Get Creative!
I have always liked the idea of being creative and arty, yet those 'creative juices' have never really flowed through my veins. I find I tend to be too OCD to naturally create.

5 Delicious & Nutritious Toddler (Approved) Lunch Ideas
I am really lucky in the fact that Sebastian loves food and is a really good eater. However, recently I had lost all sorts of inspiration when it came to making lunches.

I say “our” because at the end of the day I like to eat lunch with Sebastian, and the easier that is to achieve the more likely it happens. I also wanted to come up with lunches that … [Read more...]
