In the middle of the storm, Remember to Breathe
Did you have a good weekend? We’re almost at the end of August, and it’s as if I didn’t even see it go by! It’s incredible how it flies by. I’m working on a new children’s book talking about yoga, nature, and meditation. The characters are magic creatures, living in the middle of the forest, but I’ll say more about this project in the future. Anyway, I wanted to remind myself to “breathe.” đź’¨ especially when everything goes crazy! So I’ve prepared this wallpaper for my phone using one of my illustrations for the children’s book project. And every time I use my phone, I see this small and kind…

When I cry… My Ebook about emotions
I’m slowly getting used to the rain that keeps on falling, thinking that summer seems to be over. However, I still have a little doubt and I tell myself that the sun will come back when everyone goes back to work! Lately, I started creating a very simple format of stories to share them and also to improve my storytelling and illustration skills. Often, these stories are inspired by my daily life and topics that I find important regarding child development. This first story is simply based on my experiences. When I don’t feel well, I feel even worse if people ask me too many questions. So, perhaps I’m still…

How to react when you’re child is in an emotional tornado?
Emotions are always a big struggle for children (and for adults too by the way). That’s why I wanted to create a simple tool to help them navigate and understand the “main” emotions. My first observation is that it can be so frustrating for a child to feel all these big emotions without being able to understand or put words on them. So they explode in their way, it can be shouting, crying, hurting, kicking everything… And as adults, as we don’t react like that anymore (just sometimes) we are always surprised by the intensity of this volcano of emotions. We have a giant fire in front of us, so…

The struggles of my expat life
Today, I wanted to share with you some thoughts of mine about my life as an Expat. Being an Expat is such a delicious and also terrible experience. Once you have left your own country, you kind of lose your identity. I don’t see myself as a Dane but the strange thing is that I don’t see myself as a French anymore too. When I travel back to France, I can feel that it’s not working and I miss Denmark, which is my country now. But I love being in France, hearing French everywhere, and being able to understand everything. We have the same code, the same kind of humor,…

Comment le challenge 1000 heures dehors a changé mon quotidien ?
J’aimerais partager avec vous cet super challenge. Ă€ la fin de l’annĂ©e dernière, je me sentais complètement perdue et je ne savais plus vraiment si je voulais continuer l’Ă©cole Ă la maison avec mes enfants. Ma plus jeune fille ne faisait plus de sieste dans la journĂ©e, et j’avais vraiment du mal Ă trouver du temps pour dessiner ou simplement pour penser. J’ai donc commencer Ă regarder les diffĂ©rents børnehave (institution danoise pour les enfants de 3 Ă 6 ans) Alors que je regardais Instagram, ce post est apparu : un challenge de 1000 heures. Je ne savais pas ce que c’Ă©tait, mais cela m’a immĂ©diatement intriguĂ©e. J’ai voulu en…
