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.

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.

If Only I Had A Crystal Ball

I’m warming my hands to a cup a Royco minute soup (chicken, my favorite!) while trying to clear my head and let the stress flow out. I went to a college fair this morning. I graduate in June, well hopefully I do, and that means I should hit the labor market by July. I’ll be 21 then, fresh and green and not grown up at all. I don’t feel ready to spread my wings and start this new chapter in life yet. That’s why I’ve decided to go for a Masters degree too. A degree in what? Well, this why I need to clear my head. I have absolutely no idea what direction I want to go. Sociology? Communications? Political Sciences? Psychology? Criminology? Pedagogical sciences? My head’s about to explode! Right next to me lies a pile of brochures from Belgian’s main Universities. I’d love to go to the University of Antwerp, because that’s where most of my friends and  my boyfriend of 4 years are. But realistically, the University of Leuven is the one that holds most opportunities for me with my Bachelors degree in Social Work. I have some though decisions to make the upcoming weeks. I embraced myself… This is going to be one stressful ride. 

Also my apologies for the poor quality of these photos. For some reason my uploader decided to grain them each and every time I tried to get them online. No need to tell you that I hope I can find a solution for this problem soon.

Today I am wearing my Zara flared jeans β€’ Zara jacket β€’ Aeropostale top β€’ La Strada heels

    UGHHH decisions like that just SUCK.
    And it's so hard when you're on a timeline.
    I know what you mean, I graduated a year ago, and even with 4 internships I had NO idea where I wanted to go in the work force. It's been stressful because after a year at my current job I'm not sure if I wan't to stay here. I totally get what you mean about being unsure and wishing you had a crystal ball. All I can say is go with your gut. Intuition is a woman's best friend.
    I love your outfit!!!

    Anyway! These jeans look fantastic on you and your purple top is such a pretty color too.

    Ik wil na mijn master ook nog iets bijstuderen, en vanaf ik daar aan denken draait mijn hoofd ook helemaal op hol. Zoveel verschillende keuzemogelijkheden, allemaal interessant, maar op dit moment in je leven wil je iets doen 'waar je iets mee bent later'. Ik hoop dat je snel alles op een rijtje krijgt en een goede keuze kan maken. Communicatie zou ik trouwens afraden, ook al studeer ik het zelf, want je bent er eerlijk gezegd niet veel mee…

    Believe it or not you are at a beautiful time in life. For me it helped to be still a quite for a while in order to hear what my heart called me to do. I always go with what my heart and instinct tell me to do, not what I should do or others think or want me to do. It is a heard path to take but one that has served me well. Best of luck to you Nikki.

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!
