WaterWeek


Women are like teabags.
We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water!
Eleanor Roosevelt


I'll be spending many hours in
the swimming pool this week.
My two oldest little ones
start taking swim lessons.

What are you up to this week?

Happy Thoughts! xx

  4. Hallo Saskia,

    Heerlijk het koele water van een zwembad, helaas, ik ben aan het werk de hele week, een jaartje hard werken ook nu, maar ieder weekend geniet ik dubbelop van mijn vrije dagen, wie weet ook van het zwembad,

    veel spetterplezier, groetjes Pauline

  9. Zwemles, oh gelukkig is die tijd voorbij. Dat was altijd op zo'n vervelende tijd. Maar een van mijn kids heeft in de vakantie toen ook zijn B gehaald.
    En nu is het hier nog gewoon werk, en de dagelijkse dingen.

    Succes hoor, groetjes Lia

  14. Hi Saskia Sweetie...
    Looks like you are going to be having some fun in the water. (We have taught 5 of our 8 grandchildren how to swim). We love swimming and with a pool in our backyard we are advocates of all kids learning to swim.

    Thank you for sharing that beautiful thought from Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a very wise woman.

    Stop by soon. You have been sorely missed.

    Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

  17. Hoi Saskia,
    Dat wordt een drukke tijd met die zwemlessen. Ik was blij dat het erop zat om eerlijk te zijn.
    Deze week twee ochtenden werken. Morgenmiddag naar een verjaardag en 's avonds voetbal kijken. Woensdagmiddag met de kids naar de kapper en ik hoop donderdag en vrijdag op het strand te liggen. De temperaturen gaan in ieder geval goed omhoog.
    Liefs Ester

    We spend most of our summer in the pool or walking on the beach. I feel the water element is healing and inspiring.
