Hello everyone! Thank-you so much for visiting my blog! From what I gather, I’ve been making a bit of a stir among the Dutchies and the expats with my recent post about why Dutch kids are happy.
An an undercover introvert, I must confess that I’m both grateful for all the attention and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I apologize in advance for not responding to emails and messages and hopefully will get back to all of you soon. Nonetheless, I am really grateful that you guys took the time out to read what I have to write, reach out to me and I hope you continue coming by.
After a fun-filled, amazing time with our dearest friends, albeit over-scheduled weekend, my family and I are looking forward to a relatively quiet week. I have a sneaking suspicion that my temperamental toddler had enough of play-dates, impromptu dinners, and birthday parties. Perhaps his twenty minute inconsolable, tantrum this morning was a sign of no more missed naps.
(Monday morning art theraphy to start the week)
Every Monday, I’m going to start sharing articles that I found worth reading. I’ve realized that although we’re inundated with so much information thanks to the world wide web, there are still tons of really helpful and “aha” articles worth re-posting. It’s just a matter of trying to organize and sort through all the information that’s a challenge (at least for me!) Perhaps doing a post once a week (Monday) can help.
And since happiness is contagious, I will try to start every Monday with articles that have made me smile, laugh, inspired and feel more connected to the world. So let’s start off with my favorites from last week:
What all parents really need to know.
Clever idea- Forget Samsung and Apple. This is the future.
Where honesty will take you.
The 21 Habits of Supremely Happy People.
An Ode to Whole Foods.
Poignant read for any parent. Have some tissues ready.
Hope everyone has a good start on this first official Fall Monday!
