Spring is telling us she's just around the corner Spring is telling us she's just around the corner 🌸

As I laid on the bench in my garden the past few days, a warm winter sun on my face, no coat or sweater in sight, it was hard to imagine that just two weeks ago this very same garden was still covered in 10cm of snow. This will probably be the last snowy photo I share from this winter as it will be time for magnolia, wisteria and wild bluebells soon.

50 shades of white 🀍 House update: the notary 50 shades of white 🀍

House update: the notary sent us a first draft thingy of the certificate and we have received mortgage proposals from the first two banks as well. It starts to feel official now! I  must admit that all this paperwork isn't my cup of tea, so I've been creating inspiriation boards on Pinterest to remind myself what it's all for. Once the paperwork is done and the house is officially ours, we will start the search for an architect. One step at the time πŸ™

A few of you have asked if we're moving, but no, we are not. We are buying the house that we've been renting from family for the past 5 years.

Our 13-year-old car broke down last weekend and we have to pick up our replacement car today. Pick-up point is in Turnhout (where I grew up) and I'm thinking we need to make a day trip out of it! The weather forecast is blessing us with the promise of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures for this time of year, so I'm happy as a bumble bee in a sea of lavender.

Satisfying my travel lust close to home 😌 The Satisfying my travel lust close to home 😌

The High Fens are my favorite place to go hiking in winter. In "normal years" we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the Fens were the place to be. Maybe the fact that it was the only corner of our country covered with snow had something to do with that 😬 Little did we know a cold front would hit all of Europe just a few weeks later! πŸ₯Ά

To avoid the crowds on the Fens, we stayed lower on the map and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well, because I spent the first 16 summers of my life there. I still remember places that are less visited and also just driving around without a plan and stopping by places that look interesting helps (that's what we did on this trip, so don't ask me about the specific location πŸ˜…). How much I hated the Ardennes by the time I was 16, so much I appreciate knowing the region now that everyone is forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

This little fluffball didn't know what happened last January, when we let her out of the car in the middle of a winter wonderland. How unsure she was about the cold mushy mush, so much she loves frolicking through it today. Lucky for her, our very own garden has been covered in snow for the past few days ❄️

When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that "adulthood" was a perfectly defined phase of life that you enetred the day you had 1) a job and 2) moved out of your parental home. As if you'd wake up the next day and be an adult who had everything together, never ate snacks before dinner and always had the last word in discussions. 

I moved out 6 years ago and have worked for 5 years, but I still snack before dinner and am very far from having my stuff together. But finally today I felt a hint of what my child-self dreamt adulthood would be like. I was calling banks to make appointments to discuss mortgage loans and I realized: this is it. I am adulting.

Casual Style, Spring/Summer, Style · 17 July 2011

By The Water

My blog is now officially called The Ginger Diaries again.
And whilest we were changing things, why not change the lay-out again too?
How’d’ya like it?Β 
We went to see “Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows Pt 2” the other night. Since the age of 8, Daniel Radcliffe and his mates have been around in my life and I have to admit I almost had to blink out a tear when the subtitles came on screen knowing that the magic was over. No more nervous waiting for the next book or movie to be released. A little nuance: I’ve only read books 1-5, cause then I hit puberty and suddenly reading Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince was the least of my concers {Oh hello real life magical boys and malls!}. I don’t even own the seventh book. One day I’ll read them again. But right now the sight of book 5 (I tried reading 6, but I could not remember anything about book 5!) is still a bit terrifying.Β I’ve set my mind on reading what our local teenage magazine said would be the new “Twilight”.
Let “The Hunger Games” begin.

    This outfit is so cute and simple! I'm in the opposite boat, I've read all the Harry Potter books but have only seen movies 1-5.
    The last couple Harry Potter books were so large they were kind of daunting to me. But the 7th one is SO GOOD! Glad that the movie was too, I'll sit down and watch them eventually.

    Love your outfit, amazing color! Even puberty couldn't hold me from being a total Harry Potter nerd, that's why I was some kind of weirdo on high school haha, not that I mind though, had a great time. I did shed many tears, it will never be really over. And the Hunger Games is amazing, read the first book 2 years ago and been a fan since. All though I don't like the fact it's being called the new Twilight already. Well I still love it though.

Spring is telling us she's just around the corner Spring is telling us she's just around the corner 🌸

As I laid on the bench in my garden the past few days, a warm winter sun on my face, no coat or sweater in sight, it was hard to imagine that just two weeks ago this very same garden was still covered in 10cm of snow. This will probably be the last snowy photo I share from this winter as it will be time for magnolia, wisteria and wild bluebells soon.

50 shades of white 🀍 House update: the notary 50 shades of white 🀍

House update: the notary sent us a first draft thingy of the certificate and we have received mortgage proposals from the first two banks as well. It starts to feel official now! I  must admit that all this paperwork isn't my cup of tea, so I've been creating inspiriation boards on Pinterest to remind myself what it's all for. Once the paperwork is done and the house is officially ours, we will start the search for an architect. One step at the time πŸ™

A few of you have asked if we're moving, but no, we are not. We are buying the house that we've been renting from family for the past 5 years.

Our 13-year-old car broke down last weekend and we have to pick up our replacement car today. Pick-up point is in Turnhout (where I grew up) and I'm thinking we need to make a day trip out of it! The weather forecast is blessing us with the promise of sunshine and very pleasant temperatures for this time of year, so I'm happy as a bumble bee in a sea of lavender.

Satisfying my travel lust close to home 😌 The Satisfying my travel lust close to home 😌

The High Fens are my favorite place to go hiking in winter. In "normal years" we don't meet a soul out there, but this year the whole of Belgium agreed this was the Fens were the place to be. Maybe the fact that it was the only corner of our country covered with snow had something to do with that 😬 Little did we know a cold front would hit all of Europe just a few weeks later! πŸ₯Ά

To avoid the crowds on the Fens, we stayed lower on the map and parked somewhere between Jalhay and Solwaster. I know the Ardennes quiet well, because I spent the first 16 summers of my life there. I still remember places that are less visited and also just driving around without a plan and stopping by places that look interesting helps (that's what we did on this trip, so don't ask me about the specific location πŸ˜…). How much I hated the Ardennes by the time I was 16, so much I appreciate knowing the region now that everyone is forced to vacation close to home.

What's your favorite way to travel in Belgium?

This little fluffball didn't know what happened last January, when we let her out of the car in the middle of a winter wonderland. How unsure she was about the cold mushy mush, so much she loves frolicking through it today. Lucky for her, our very own garden has been covered in snow for the past few days ❄️

When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that When I was a child, I was certain of the fact that "adulthood" was a perfectly defined phase of life that you enetred the day you had 1) a job and 2) moved out of your parental home. As if you'd wake up the next day and be an adult who had everything together, never ate snacks before dinner and always had the last word in discussions. 

I moved out 6 years ago and have worked for 5 years, but I still snack before dinner and am very far from having my stuff together. But finally today I felt a hint of what my child-self dreamt adulthood would be like. I was calling banks to make appointments to discuss mortgage loans and I realized: this is it. I am adulting.

We woke up in a winter wonderland yesterday! We didn't go out to enjoy it or shoot pictures because we were too busy designing kitchen layouts for the house. I have a perfect vision in my mind of how I want things to look, but the house is too small to fit everything in and still make it aesthetically pleasing (and building an extension is πŸ’Έ). It's a difficult puzzle to make and I'm not good at letting the image I had in my head go, so yeah... not the relaxing weekend I hoped for 😬 I'm sure it will all be fine in the end!
