Life in May!

Let's try something new this week! I don't actually get to share as much as I would like to on this little blog of mine. I have a pretty busy life and updating this blog more than just a few times a month just isn't going to happen. But I do have more than enough material. I take pictures of everything! So I thought it would be fun to look back on this past month by sharing some of the pictures I took with my IPhone. Just to walk you through what I've been up to lately. So this is what life in May looked like!

05/02/2015 - I decided to check out a new store that was just opening up in town and I picked up a new perfume there. Luckily for me it happened to be the grand opening of the store and I was one of the first 50 customers. I recieved an awsome goodie bag with my purchase, including a ton of samples, a full sized showergel and a cosmetics purse from Tommy Hilfiger. Score!

5/5/2015 - Charlotte found a very comfortable little spot on the couch to 'read' one of her favorite books. Meanwhile she was also keeping an eye on her daddy. He was outside doing some well needed work in our garden.  

5/10/2015 - Obviously this post had to include some sort of nature picture. I am a nature junkie after all. I love the sun peeking through the trees here. Summer is upon us my friends! 

5/15/2015 - Charlotte checking out the view from a store while visiting Amsterdam. She was kind of mesmerized by this building in particular. I believe it's called the New Church and it's on the Dam Square. 

05/15/2015 - Smittened by this little purse that I picked up at the LV store in Amsterdam. I'm getting more and more comfortable visiting stores like this one. I used to think they were so intimidating and that everyone in the store would think I wasn't good enough to shop there. But I had a very nice girl helping me with my purchase, so that definitely helped! 

05/22/2015 - Attending the wedding of a good friend of mine. It was held at this beautiful castle and the couple suprised the guests with a full tour of the property. This is a picture of the window in the master bedroom.

05/22/2015 - Another picture of the wedding location. It was such a perfect day. I am so happy for the couple and I really think they had the time of their lives that day. 

05/24/2015 - After the wedding we headed to Germany. We met up with my father-in-law and his girlfriend and we visited a 'Tierpark'. In case you are wondering, that is pretty much a small zoo. It was fun because they hadn't seen Charlotte in months so it was nice for her to spend some time with her grandfather and grandmother. Charlotte is checking out a prairie dog with her dad in this picture. 

05/24/2015 - Charlotte feeding an Alpaca at the 'Tierpark'. Atleast I think it's Alpaca... It could have been a funky looking llama. They were really friendly though and we weren't spit upon. So that is always a bonus. 

05/29/2015 - Treating myself to a caramel latte macchiato iced coffee during my lunch break. I do work so I had to include some sort of work related picture in this post. It wasn't all fun and games this month!  

So this is what the past month looked like for me! I hope you all had a lovely month as well! Take care and see you soon!

My Week In Pictures!

Let's face it, we all enjoy a little voyeurisme from time to time. I know I do! It's fun to take a peek inside the life of a stranger. I guess It's so intriguing because there are simply no two lives alike. We're all on our own unique path, our unique journey. And eventhough you are comfortable with the seeds you have planted so far, It's still interesting to peek over de fence and see what the neighbors are growing. Most of the time you'll find the confirmation that the flowers you chose were indeed the right pick for you. And sometimes you might get inspired to make a change here or there. But... I'm rambling on again. Let's get down to business! Here's my week in pictures!

Monday - Visiting a fashion expo during my lunchbreak. Here's a gorgeous piece by Jean Paul Gaultier. Love it! Great way to get away from it all. It's just something you need when you make nine hour workdays!

Tuesday -  Meeting a friend for drinks after work. Celebrating the fact that I'm now officially on summerbreak! Yay! It was so incredibly hot that it actually resulted in a some sort of tropical storm later that evening. There was so much water on the road that the car infront of me actually got flooded and broke down! The driver had to push the car out of the water, and needless to say, I decided to make a U-turn and make a run for my money! I wasn't in the mood to canoe my way home!

Wednesday - Enjoying a lovely summer afternoon in our own backyard and taking some pictures of my lovely little model. Look at her sitting on her own like a boss! So proud of her!

Thursday - Going on a shopping trip and buying some lovely items at Primark (Penneys)! This was my first time ever shopping there and I loved it! How cute are those little baby tights? I foresee a lot more shopping trips to Primark in the future! :)

Friday - Eating ice-cream at the local summer fair. The beginning of a well needed night out on the town. Moms gone wild! Haha!

Saturday - Charlotte passed out in her carseat after an (apparently exhausting) afternoon at a friend's barbecue party. And yes, that's a yoga mat on the right. I keep it in my livingroom so that I can see it and feel guilty about not using it. Women are strange like that. Let's eat some more ice-cream!

Sunday - Driving home at sunset after having dinner with friends. Charlotte is asleep is the back of the car, as usual. She's such an easy baby. How I love to live away from the city. I love the scenery out here. A wonderful end to a perfect evening, and a wonderful end to my week in pictures. See you soon!

Kisses!
