Sint Maarten is also known as St Martins day is  a Tradition where I live. On this day children in The Netherlands and Belgium will go out after its getting dark and walk from door to door with in their hands a lantarn with a little lamp in it and in the other hand a bag. They will ring the doorbells and after opening they will sing a little song to the person who opened the door.  This person then in turn will hand out the children some candyor  a mandarin, a cookie and sometimes even money. Most common is candy  or mandarins though.

This year we decide to go out with Anarosa to, together with the kidsclub that’s run by a colleague of me. It was a lot of fun and Anarosa truly enjoyed it. Of course she could not sing the songs as she didn’t knew the words but she hummed along and even danced as the others where singing. Most of the time she just walked together with the daughter of my colleague, and the two of them had a great time. My colleague and me both walked with them of course, we would not let our kids just ring at strangers doorbells even at an evening where so many people are out on the streets for this event, you don’t want to take any chances. And Anarosa of course is too young anyway to be anywhere on her own anyways.

Like the title said I am going back in time because some people still don’t understand how to approach someone. First off, I do not believe in coincidence things happen for a reason, often those things are being manipulated and forced to happen.

A little while ago, to be exact August 12 this year I made a post titled “My Dad” Don’t ask me why I wrote Dad starting with a caps D but I just did without having a reason for it that I am aware off. For those who do not remember that post, here it is:  http://www.whisperedwords.nl/?p=1016 . That link will open in a new window so don’t worry you won’t lose this post unless of course you decide to close it.

So why do I bring this up? Well if you read that post by now then you know that i did not only wrote about my dad, but also about some stranger who approached me on facebook and send me a friend request. This person was connected with an ex of me as mentioned in the other post.

Now lets get back to the reason of this new post I am writing right now. I received another friend request from someone that I don’t know. This time it is from someone who is befriended with my dad !! O.o I don’t get those people, I don’t understand  why they are trying to connect with me through other people. If anyone has something to say to me and know how to find me then why don’t they just tell me. If someone else can befriend me or try to then so can they right? I really have a hard time trusting people like by default. Sneaky people like that just give me more reasons not to trust them and befriend them. Now I don’t know if that person is going to read my post and if they can read English or not, and I don’t care, this is MY blog and my thoughts that I wanted to write and post in English and I don’t want to have to write it twice and I am certainly not writing it for them, I am writing this for me as selfish as I am LOL. If they happen to read this then please tell me what are you thinking!? Why this kind of approach??

All right, so much for this post I wonder, what’s next?!? Or maybe I should say, who’s next???

So yeah finally I feel like posting again. I have been so very busy with so many different things and so many more things are coming up again but I finally got things a little bit in order again although my house could use a vacuuming I still have a laundry in the washing machine waiting to get hanged, I should really work on my CreaBea project map again. The Halloween party was a great success, the speed mini-cupcake workshop last saturdays was a success as well. Pictures of the Halloween party are  in my gallery!

This week started with breakfast at CJM and then a meeting with CJM about what was coming up this week, a meeting about the newspaper we are going to be running from CJM, and we coördinated our presentations for Tuesday for the budget of 700 Euros that we could get. That means I had to make cupcakes on Monday evening and decorate them on Tuesday. I had someone watch after Anarosa because taking her with us on that presentation was NOT a good idea. And then we already arrived on Wednesday. Last night the presentation was a great success.

The budget was granted and that means I have a 700 euros to spend for my CreaBea clubs. I am thinking about buying a new mixer so that my own little handmixer can be used for what its meant for and not those heavy projects I am using it now for. Once in a while a cake or a dough is not a problem but once I have to start mixing 2 doughs or more and 3 buttercremes  or more all on one day then my handmixer starts having problems and I like my handmixer. Its actually a Braun Multimixer and it can do a lot more then mixing. its just a complete kitchen machine. Any how that problem should be solved once I have a new kitchen machine that’s more professional.

I have not been in a blog mood in a while or had the time for it or wanted to make the time for it so you guys still have to do this time with another excuse about me not blogging lol Although, does this count as a post? It should shouldn’t it? It doesn’t say much other then that I have not written a post but I do have a little bit news to mention, next week its Halloween and I made the flyer for the kidsclub Halloween part at CJM AND I am going to make the cake ( in pumpkin shape) and the cupcakes as well sooooo its gonna be a REAL party!!! woohoo.. maybe I will make a post after the party with some pictures 😛 🙂

Almost a month since my last post and I have not been sitting still either. More cakes made, more cake pictures taken and more cakes and cupcakes to come in the next few weeks. I have been sewing up a lil dress for Halloween for Anarosa with a few of the fabrics I bought at a fabric market here in town and my oldest daughter is in the UK at the moment. I am a little sad she doesn’t call me but at the same time it makes sense.. They got a full schedule and she probably is a little worried about the cost of the calls. I have texted her and I got a lil text message back so she’s all fine I know, I am just being a mommy and I’m missing her.  Well I think she is having a good time and I can’t wait to hear all the stories when she’s back. The place they are at is called Hastings and they are there for a school project. She’s doing her school in 2 languages, half her lessons she’s got in English and the other half in Dutch. This project is to stimulate the English and to get the kids to learn a little more about England and to be in a surrounding where they speak with native English speakers all day long. The kids are staying as guests with other families where they eat and sleep and in the mornings they go to a English language school. In the afternoons they got all kinds of trips to interesting places. In the evenings they also have organised a few things for the kids. So thats a full and very interesting week for them. I bet they are exhausted in the evenings when they get back to the family where they stay. Soon as I get a little more time on my hands I will post some pics and another post but as it is… I am very busy 🙂

Take care all..
