Ooh #thatwinterspringthing πŸ’« The trees are bar Ooh #thatwinterspringthing πŸ’«

The trees are bare, the colors dull, but the weather nice enough to go outside without having to bundle up in a xl winter coat. I'll be so happy when I don't have to cover up my carefully selected outfits with that one same coat anymore 😍 Not that I wear any nice clothes really, because that little pupper in the picture has a tendancy to ruin them. Something about being very ecstatic to see me when I come down in the morning... when I return from the bathroom... or the kitchen... or the 5 second run to the mailbox... or... you get the idea. Thank goodness she's cute.

πŸ“Έ: Cleydael Castle in Aartselaar, Belgium. It's a private property/golf club, so we didn't dare go any further than the main gate (especially with the dog present). Lots of other hikers did walk through towards and around the castle, so I'm not sure if it is/is not allowed πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ We actually came for the small nature reserve Cleydael across the street.

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.

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?

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.

AD | Finding The Perfect Ankle Boots

In fall you need ankle boots. We all know that right? I bought my dream pair of ankle boots in a sale two years ago, but after the snowy winters of ’11 and ’12 they are completely ruined. This year, I should remember to clean up my shoes after walking the salt-covered streets. Actually, most of my shoes are in a bad shape and that’s why I’ve teamed up with Spartoo this winter. Spartoo is an online shoe retailer offering lots of different brands on just one website and was so gentle to offer their help in my personal color challenge. I originally challenged myself to wear more color, but since my black boots are is such awful condition, I decided it would be best to get my basic shoes ready before I start with something more daring for me. While going through all the black ankle boots, I noticed I was mostly draw to either western-inspired booties like the Refresh boots and the Clarks’ above. I do feel like they have a quite defined style though, and knowing myself well it’s probably better if I go with a more basic pair like the ones from Pare Gabia or Jonak. I already have a pair of Jonak ankle booties and love their quality and fit. So now I’m really torn between these four options. Should I stick with a basic model, or should I go west? 

ONE Shiny leather Khan ankle boots by Pare Gabia €158.40 β€’ TWO western-inspired Lugo ankle boots by Refresh β‚¬49.95 β€’ THREE Melanie ankle boots by Clarks €109.95 β€’ FOUR Doddy ankle boots with silver tip by Jonak β‚¬99.00

    Number 1! Have you looked into water proofing your leather? Whenever I get a good pair of leather shoes, I spray them to protect them from the elements. Your local shoe repair shop should have something.

    #2 is definitely my favorite but that's because I'm drawn to suede booties. I just bought my first pair in taupe and LOVE them. Black is next on my list.

    I bought a pair similar to #1 but had to return them because they scraped against my ankle bone and hurt so much. Just be careful with boots that low!

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.
