Happy spring! (On the Northern Hemisphere that is.) I did not expect we’d be going into our second lockdown spring. But, I’m hopeful that life will start to get back to normal soon and I will ENJOY SPRING as much as I can anyway, and hope you will too! PS. My Etsy shop is filled with more hand drawn happiness like this.

Hello March! A new month, as always, means a new calendar page. This is from my 2021 wall calendar. Does it match your March plans or mood? We’ve had such a sunny week that this feels very wintery now, but I know in many places it’s still very cold.
PS. This is from my 2021 wall calendar. It’s sold out, but I do have many cute hand drawn drawn cards and prints available in my Etsyshop.

I was working on several wintery illustrations and then it was suddenly spring! One of the things I love about freelance life is that I can be flexible with my hours. So, today I took half the day off for a long sunny hike and a sunset picnic. I do have to work late now, but since we have an evening clock at the moment, I don’t mind so much. If you like this, you can also follow me on Instagram, where I post more regularly.

NOTES TO SELF
I love to find positive inspiration online, in books and in podcasts. I also like to take notes. This has resulted in these little positive reminders that I try to follow every day as my self care practice and that help me stay positive. When I start to feel down, I usually haven’t been paying enough attention to them. I’m sharing them here because I find them so helpful and maybe some of you will find them useful as well.

The Dutch weather is really perfect for cuddling up under a blanket at the moment, it’s cold! So put on something warm & comfy (2020 has been the year I embraced sweatpants!) and cuddle up. If you don’t have anyone to cuddle with, remember that plant love is also real love. I REALLY love my plants, so who’s to say that my plants don’t also really love me?? I choose to believe they do, haha. Oh, and also: real cuddles will be making a comeback soon! Have a nice day!

I loved Bernie’s cozy and comfy style yesterday (I have a thing for cute mittens!) and it’s so funny that this outfit is going viral! I actually dress like this most days during winter.. .hmmm
I did add a hat because I felt it was missing from his look. What did you think of the inauguration yesterday?

Just in case you needed to hear this today (with everything going on in the world): YOU ARE DOING FANTASTIC!
This is one of the first things I hear every morning when I do my @iceman_hof guided breathing exercise, and it always makes me feel good. I hope seeing this also makes you feel good!
Maybe you already noticed in my other work that I love to draw post-it notes. I even have a few one-of-a-kind originals like this for sale onEtsy, it would be FANTASTIC if you took a look, haha! Have a good day.

The Holidays are over but there’s no reason to stop celebrating small things. It’s been a tough year and we should be kind to ourselves. You survived 2020: well done! Put on pants today? That’s awesome! Checked in on a friend? You deserve extra karma points for that! Feel like you didn’t do anything worth celebrating today? Remember you are still awesome and it’s okay and normal to feel bad sometimes! This was one of my best nine for 2020 on Instagram, and I updated it a little bit for

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Wishing everyone an amazing 2021. Let’s do everything we couldn’t do last year and appreciate it even more.
I love January so much more than I love December (I don’t love December at all actually) The days are getting longer again, our lockdown is (hopefully) almost over, and it feels like a fresh start.
This is my “plan” for 2021. What do you think?
