Stuffed apple


No this is not an apple pie. This is another version of my stuffed apple.

But I think this one looks more festive for this season.

What you need;

1 apple
2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup oats
Some cinnamon
Puff pastry

Preheat the oven on 200degrees.
Cut the top of the apple of. Hollow it and make the apple in tiny peaces. Mix it with the honey, oats and cinnamon.
Put your apple mix in to your apple.
Make squares from your puff pastry to close your apple with.
You can use beaten egg on the puff pastry so it get nice golden brown. But I did not do that. 
Put your apple in the oven for about 20minutes.

Well you must say: this is much easier than apple pie?

Shop till I drop


I know I'm not a fashion blogger but I like to show some stuff I bought. Now pregnancy is over I can get rid of my maternity clothing! Time to shop new clothes.
But what?

I read and hear things from mommies they buy clothes where their boob can pop out easily. That's easy when you breastfeed. But why buy clothes like that when you don't like it? To be honest I never thought about the fact to buy clothes who will be easy when my baby girl wants some yummie booby milk from mommy. Than I must struggle a little bit more to get my boob out but I'm at home anyway so who cares? 


So I buy clothing I like and want. I did not buy much, shopping for my baby girl is more fun (I don't know why).


My new neon yellow Adidas suit! I was looking for this a long time and now I've found this online! You've got this also in neon pink and neon green.

My new all stars! My old one where worn out. So time for new ones. I can't live without all stars they match with almost everything. I bought these on an outlet store. I also get a free bracelet with it. But more about that later!


And my last buying: this shirt from the Nikkie colection. I love the brand Nikkie from  Nikkie Plessen. Her style is feminine but tough and thats what I like. How ever her clothing line is normally not in my budget the quality of this shirt is very great. And because it was on sale and I want it for a long time I've just bought it.

These where my buyings. Now it's time to shop for my little girl haha.







Guest blogger at: bloggers network

Couple of weeks ago I've wrote a blog for:bloggers network. A platform that makes sure that bloggers get the best out of their blogs!
A great website for bloggers. 

This website is in Dutch so it's for the Hollanders out here ;).


I've wrote an article about how you can keep your blog interesting. 
It's in dutch but I will translate it in English for the other countries!
You can find the article here 


Well how do you keep your blog interesting? With this question, I was walking around when I started blogging. I am also new to the blogger world and I would of course like the inspire many people. It's nice to start such a blog and write, but there are so many blogs, how do I distinguish me from the rest?

Actually it is very simple ...

You start with a topic you want to blog. A topic you know a lot from. Do you know much about beauty, you do not blog about cars. 

The most of you have allready a blog. There are different websites you can make one for free.
Choose a layout that suits yourself and your blog. Design a logo for your blog and if you do not want to remain anonymous, get a good, beautiful portrait picture.

Make sure your blog stands out and that people who visit your blog for the first time feel right at home. That's the sign that you are not different enough. These are the basic rules that most of you will know.

Make sure you write a blog with good, clear pictures. Try to make them yourself and as original as possible. Do not look at other blogs how they do that. It's your blog, so you should do what you find what suits you nicely.

Not repeat things that have been told a million times. Just go crazy, do something else, you want visitors to be inspired. People need to experience your blog positive, they need to remember you. Think about how you want your visitors to recommend your blog to their friends.

Finally, make sure you're proud at all times on your blog. Are you proud to show your blog to your family your colleagues and friends?

Be yourself. Everyone is different and I personally find it nice to blog. Each blog you experience different because there is another person behind it. Do not be ashamed to be yourself and be able to express yourself. That makes your blog unique!

I know I love healthy food and stuff and I want to share healthy recipe with you guys.
In my cheatmeal I've made this ones and people loved it. Last time my best friend came by with her boyfriend to see my babygirl I've made this also.

200-250 grams bastogne cookies (or biscuits)
100 grams of butter
8 tablespoons nutella
3 cups cream cheese (200 grams each)
cocoa powder
m & m's (optional)





Start with the crumbling of the cookies. Then melt the butter in about 30 seconds soft, but not completely liquid. Mix all the biscuit crumbs with the softened butter.
Then Grease a springform pan and spoon the cookie crumbs in the form. Press down firmly with a spoon so that a bottom is created.
 Then mix the cream cheese with the nutella.
When properly mixed, you scoop the cream cheese mixture over the biscuit base. The nutella cheesecake can be in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Top it of with the cacoa powder and some m&m's for the nice and happy colors.

Netherlands has a national day of mourning


Today the victims will be arriving at Eindhoven airport. Finally they are home by the people where they belong. 
People can say goodbye to their beloved ones.
This is really a week of sadness.
Still people are wondering why and who.
I think it's great to stand still to this tragic incident all together.
4pm we have a moment of silence.
We did not have a national day of mourning since 1962 when Queen Whilhelmina died. 
Municipal buildings in many cities will hang the flags at half-mast today.
Many churches will ring their bells.
Also the train traffic will be shut down for one minute.
There will be no summer hits be played on the radio and also the television will be stand still on this day for the victims of the mh17. 
The Dutch windmills will stand on grieving today. 
If the blades are in mourning mode, the lower wick shifted slightly to the right. The wick is if it were something beyond the mill and that symbolizes mourning: it is past and been.

What are you doing at 4pm? Do you keep 1minute of silence? Or do you just do nothing and keep doing what you do?
What is your meaning of this day of grief?

I will put a candle on for the victims of mh17 and keep 1minute of silence. 
I hope the victims will rest in peace here in their own country with the people they loved.

Pray for MH17



Goodbye darling,
Goodbye friend,
Goodbye neigbor on the other end.
Goodbye colleague,
Goodbye child,
We're going to a a place here near by.
Goodbye pilot,
Goodbye little son.
Hoping to be loved again whole days long.
Last words, last goodbyes,
Before you step into that airplane and fly high in the sky.
Never knew, never thought
A holliday, business trip ended and stopped.
There is no why, there is no how
Only a empty place feeling hollow.
Maybe I don't know you,
But I feel the pain.
Images entering into my brain.
I don't know how, I don't know why.
Why that airplane crashed in the sky.

Let us put a light on for them,
In memorie of all the passengers of the Malaysia airplane MH17.




Coffee cocktail!!!

Last year I've made such a great icecream cocktail with a good friend of mine! 
He saw this recipe in a magazine and we are 2 coffee addicts so we really have to try to make this.

There is only one thing, or maybe 2: this is NOT a healthy recipe and it's NOT pregnancy proof!


What you need is:

Cup of coffee (cool down)
3 tbsp Baileys
Vanilla icecream 
Grated almond

Serve in nice cocktail glasses (optional)

Add the vanilla icecream in a glass. Add the baileys over the icecream and at last the coffee.
Top it of with the grated almond.

This is a nice coffee dessert for warm days like these! 

Enjoy!


I know that this recipe is not healthy but sometimes you must treat yourself with this warm weather!


Enjoy your warm day!
