Hey there guys! Looks like I have kind of taken an unintentional blog break there.
Spring is already a week old, so I think it’s time to write down (and share ;) a few of my goals for this season.
And just like that, February is over as well. I must admit, it’s definitely my least favourite month of the year – everything is grey outside and Spring is still so far away! I don’t know, March just has a much nicer ring to it. Here’s what February has been about:
Reading | I haven’t shared a reading post this month, but I’ve still enjoyed some pretty great books, especially “The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets” and “The Uncommon Appeal of Clouds”. If you’re looking for books you can just get lost in and have a relaxing afternoon, these are exactly right. I just started reading “Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” and it’s just as great as everybody says, I can hardly put it down.
Listening | I had the pleasure of going to a William Fitzsimmons concert this month and it was so much fun. He’s definitely one of my favourite musicians and now his new album is on repeat over here. James Vincent McMorrow’s new songs are favourites as well.
Working | I finished all my exams in February and it feels so good! I still have a few papers to write, but just being able to take an afternoon of without thinking about everything I should be doing feels great!
Creating | Less than I would have wished to be honest. After work and uni I’m often too tired to be creative again, but I miss it.
Moving | I’m happy to report though that I’ve been exercising a lot more this month! You can’t really call it regular yet, but I’ve really enjoyed going swimming and also jogging a lot more. I hope I can keep that up next month!
Meeting | An old friend of mine who I haven’t seen for almost a year came for a visit this month! It was so great, we talked about everything, cooked a lot, planned some trips for the year (yay) and just enjoyed our time together. Why can’t all good friends just live close by?
Eating | I tried a lot of new recipes this month! I’ve tried a few recipes from the Leon cookbooks (again, everything tasted wonderful, you need to get this book if you haven’t) and made pancakes and omelette for breakfast, risotto for lunch and whole bunch of veggie meals I thought of myself as well. I also finally found a bread recipe that’s easy and super-good.
Traveling | I visited Maastricht again this month. It’s a lovely little city in the Netherlands, that’s only one hour away. I definitely want to go again this summer, when it’s warm outside.
Starting | I got the news that I could lead my own small group in church (with a friend). I’m a bit intimidated, but I can’t wait!
Wearing | As almost everybody at the moment, I’m in love with the whole lean closet movement. I started building my wardrobe this month and got some basic, good quality garments that I hope to be wearing for many, many years.
Hi everyone! With my holiday starting today, I finally have some free time to spend on improving this little space of mine and work out some new and exciting things. So today, I have a small favour to ask you: Could you maybe answer this little survey (it will only take a minute!)? Your feedback matters so much and I will do my best to take all your answers into consideration. Thanks so much guys, it means a lot!
Don’t be shy, I can definitely handle criticism as well – just no hate, please.
A little while ago, I was tagged by Kevin (and Trina) to play along in the Now & Then game.
Last week my good friend Helena nominated me for a Liebster Award, a blogging award that has been going around the blogosphere for a while.
