Welcome to my blog

Hi, I’m Yvonne — a wife, a mother, and someone who spent years trying to keep all the balls in the air… until I realized I’d mostly lost myself along the way.

No, I don’t live on a farm — just in a small village, right in the heart of the Netherlands.But I believe that even here, peace can be found: that step by step, I can create a home built on simplicity, mindfulness, and connection. I’m still on my way, figuring out what that truly means for me and my family.

For years I lived at the pace of the world, until I noticed it wasn’t my pace.On this blog, I’m sharing my journey toward a simpler, calmer, and more intentional life — right in the middle of everyday busyness.

I bake bread, ferment, make things myself, buy less — and a lot more in between.Most of all, I’m learning every single day.

What I share here isn’t a perfect destination, but a process.Not as an expert, but as someone who learns, tries, stumbles, and keeps going.

My hope is that while you read, watch, or listen here, you find a little breathing space too.And maybe you’ll feel the quiet confidence that you, too, can slow down, make your own choices — and trust that simplicity is enough.
