Fit Flow

I totally forgot that we lost one of our favorite shoes yesterday. It wasn't until we were about to step out today that it suddenly crossed my mind. 😅

I quickly rushed to their shoe rack, hoping to find another pair, but unfortunately everything I found was either too big or he had already outgrown it.

Then I spotted one shoe from my little madam's baby days. 😂 I just said, "Well, this is what we've got!" So we proudly rocked one of his shoes and one of his sister's old shoes. Sometimes you've just got to make do with what you have! 🤭

Parenting really keeps you on your toes. Every day comes with a new adventure! ❤️

Four years ago, I had just finished enjoying my fufu with local chicken light soup and was about to leave. Little did I know that the journey ahead would completely change my life.

It hasn't always been easy. There have been challenges, lessons, growth, victories, and so many unforgettable moments. Looking back today, I can only say that every step has been worth it.

Through it all, we are grateful for the experience, the opportunities, and how far we've come. Here's to four incredible years in the Netherlands and to the journey that still lies ahead. 💖🇳🇱

Cheers to many more beautiful years !!

Senior citizens, you guys didn’t warn some of us about this part of parenting ooo! 😭😂

Yesterday, No. 2 came home barefooted because somehow we lost the footwear along the way. 😅

Tell me why today too, the last baby came home with only ONE shoe! 😂😭 We searched everywhere when we were ready to leave the library but the other one was nowhere to be found.

So apparently, going out with toddlers also means accepting that shoes may leave the house as a pair but there’s no guarantee they’ll return as a pair. 😭😂😂


Senior citizens, what other surprises are waiting for me? Because clearly, I wasn’t properly briefed! 😅😂❤️

Today was also a craft day! 🎨🥰

After all the running around and playground fun, we switched things up and got a little creative. The kids had the chance to make their own beautiful craft tworks, and of course, they get to take their little masterpieces home with them. ❤️🎨

I love activities like this because it’s not only about keeping them entertained — they get to explore their creativity, play with colours and proudly create something of their own. 🥰

Playground time 🛝, some much-needed cool air in the library 😅, and then a little art session to round things off.

Another simple local day, but still filled with beautiful little memories. ❤️🎨

The weather today is honestly on a different level! 😅☀️

The sun is fully out and scorching, and after spending time at the playground, Mama needed somewhere to cool down. 😂

Luckily, today’s playground was close to the community library, so once we were done outside, we entered the library to enjoy some much-needed chilled air. 😮‍💨😂❤️
Of course, these squad members still had energy!

We went straight to the children’s corner to continue playing, while I found myself a comfortable spot on the floor and just lay there resting. 😂😂
At this point, they are on summer vacation and I am on survival vacation! 😅❤️‍🩹

But that cool library air after being outside in this heat?

Exactly what Mama needed! 😂

The body needs some fuel before stepping out today, and this bowl of goodness did a perfect job of keeping the stomach happy and satisfied! 😋🥣❤️

Because before we start clocking those kilometres and chasing the squad around the playground, Mama must eat first! 😂💪🏾

Good food, good energy, and now we’re ready for today’s adventure! 🥰🚶🏾‍♀️🛝

Have a beautiful day!!

Gradually, gradually, our summer break is coming to an end! 😅❤️ Where did all the time go?

Like I said, this week we’re taking things easy and sticking to playgrounds around the neighbourhood — no more long hours of travelling for Mama. 😂 After all those adventures, we deserve some local ones too!

Today, we did a 2.8 km walk to the playground 🚶🏾‍♀️🛝, the kids had their playtime, and afterwards we hopped on the bus back home. 🚌❤️

Although, I honestly don’t mind walking the 2.8 km back home too if the squad is up for it. 😂 That would make 5.6 km altogether, so why not clock in those steps while they burn off their energy? 😅💪🏾

Simple playground days, fresh air, plenty of movement and still making the most of the remaining summer break. 🥰❤️

Gradually, gradually… we’re rounding up our summer adventures! 😅🛝❤️

🥞 Protein-Rich Oat Pancakes for the Squad! ❤️

Today I made some homemade oat pancakes for my little squad, and you already know how I like their meals — simple, nutritious, filling and rich in protein! 💪🏾😋

For these pancakes, I used:

🥣 Oats
🥚 Eggs
🍌 Banana
🥛 Cow milk
🌱 Chia seeds

No complicated ingredients — just a combination of goodness blended together and turned into these delicious pancakes. 🥞❤️

With three little mouths to feed, I love finding easy meals they can all enjoy while still getting some good nutrients in. The banana also adds a lovely natural sweetness, so there’s no need to complicate things. 😋

Simple ingredients, happy tummies, and another meal sorted for the squad! 😂❤️
