a Sprinkling of Love


I hope you had a lovely long weekend
It's a new week, a new month and a new year
with many wonderful things to look forward to,
beginning here with a
little sprinkling of love from me to you

Did you make resolutions?
I did not, I never do
what I did do was reading the next sentence somewhere

Simply become who you are

I think it a wonderful thought
pinned it onto the mood board in my kitchen

Enjoy this new day, this new week, this new month and this new year,
sweet friends !

  24. Dearest Saskia,

    Yes, the Efteling I know from about 30+ years back... Did you bring those sweets from there? I don't know those either. Looks like 'spekkies' with sugared coating but I might be totally wrong. Not living in a country anymore we cannot keep up with your market supply. Anyway, I'm not supposed to take sweets since a couple of years. My blood sugar level was perfect last check up and it appears that looking at sweets doesn't cause any harm...

    Enjoy your first week of 2011. My 'Papa' in Limburg is 90 today (the 4th is already on for you; not yet for me...).

    Love,

    Happy hugs for week one of 2011...off to school tomorrow to see my little chickadees....xoxoxo

  29. Hi Saskia!
    Yesterday at church the pastor talked about attaching a Christmas card with the three kings over a doorway in our house ~ to remind us to always seek Christ. I love that as a resolution for always *

  37. GOOD MORNING PRECIOUS ONE! It looks to me that I missed your prior post...how did that happen??????

    MY DEAR FRIEND...I never make resolutions either. BEING YOU is what has hit me just in the last six months....and you know what? At 52 years old, I am finally fitting into my skin of WHO I AM. That is all we can ever be after much education, many experiences.....who we are is a gift. You are a gift to me dearest Saskia. I am so stunned that I missed your last post. OFF TO SCHOOL I GO NOW...it was a lovely two weeks off to play with friends. MILLE BISES, Anita

  50. Lieve Saskia,

    Néé toch! Limburg is zwaar de overhand aan het krijgen op Blogger... Chantal van ABACAXI and HORTELÂ uit Roermond; Nicole van Rêve douce uit Heerlen; Lynda van Een klein stukje van mij... uit Grubbenvorst en jij uit Brunssum en Heerlen... Zelf kom ik uit Horst!
    Mogelijk kende je dan nog de tante van Pieter (mijn man) die een frietzaak had in Brunssum. Haar naam was Van den Broek - Peer maar de naam van de zaak weet ik niet. Tante Tonnie was het.
    Vraag nog maar eens na.
    Kleine wereld is het en best léuk.
    Jij doet het goed met je blog in het engels; erg leuk en met goed resultaat ook.
    Spontane no-nonsens griet met leuke, levendige kinderen. Je bruist van het leven en dat werkt lekker aanstekelijk. Zoals mijn joie de vivre van mijn 27 november blog.

    Heel veel liefs en we gáán het winnen met onze meerderheid!!!

  52. love it, saskia. simply 'becoming who you already are', is ideal.

    anything with sprinkles is a hit with the girls.

  55. SASKIA MIJN LIEVE SASKIA!!! Oh dearest, now that school is back on, I AM SO BUSY! I had forgotten, being off for two weeks, how much time is spent traveling to work (one hour each way) and then having after school meetings. Whew.....I am so glad to hear that your trip to ELFLING was FUN!!! And that is exactly where I thought you would be. I had seen pictures of it on another Dutch blog and was automatically ENCHANTED! Now you dearest, YOU must get back on YOUR FEET after hanging upside down, and being twirled around by your wonderful children! My sweet students are wild because it is so cold outside that the school will NOT allow them to play outside during recess so they are like wild ponies confined in a small cage! But I love them dearly and we will all manage until the warmth comes back to us in MAY!!! Sending you much love dearest, Anita

    Ik wens jou ook een schitterend jaar vol met liefde en nieuwe uitdagingen.
    Hier ook geen echte voornemens, behalve dat ik wat meer moet gaan bewegen. En daar ben ik afgelopen dinsdag mee begonnen. Dus gaat goed.
