Did you ever play with Paper Dolls?
I have always played a lot with dolls, but what I loved was inventing stories and preparing my dolls. Once these steps were completed, I didn’t feel like playing anymore. One day, my parents took away my dolls for some reason I can’t quite remember. I felt empty and needed to release all those stories bubbling inside me. So, I remember drawing them on paper, cutting them out, and feeling relieved because I could once again immerse myself in that universe. Indeed, drawing has never been an end in itself for me, but only a step in creation. Drawing allows me and still allows me, to then play with my…

Feeling a little nostalgic? Color the best consoles in the World
Hello there! Here’s a little coloring page inspired by the best of consoles 🤣 Seriously, I fired up my Game Boy a few weeks ago, and once again, I was completely hooked! I explained to my kids that back in the day, we didn’t have saving options, and we had to start everything from scratch! I feel like drawing it and taking my little console out into nature. 🍃 I still remember the day I finally got my Game Boy. I was in 5th grade, and for Christmas, I received this awesome console. We went to buy it with my parents, and there were Scouts wrapping gifts. 🎁 🎄 I…

My Illustrated Short Story: “A Bright Bouquet”
This week has been quite a complicated one here, and as often happens to me, when too many strong emotions mix, I get sick. 🤒 As a result, I was down for the entire week. And it’s never fun, especially when you also have to take care of the children. But as often happens, these moments of forced pause by the body have also allowed me to clear my mind. To move forward in a way. 🌟 I’m presenting you with a short story I wrote a few weeks ago. I wanted to bring it to life, and I hope you’ll enjoy it. Tomorrow is the first day of school…

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…

How to celebrate the Full Moon with your Children?
The full Moon is quite magical. Just looking at it, at her, peace my soul and bring me comfort. For many years now, I’ve been tracking the Moon because I feel so connected with her. A full moon is a perfect moment to let go. Let go of our fear, our sadness, and much more. I started with women’s circles in France and missed them deeply when I moved to Denmark. I didn’t find any group in Copenhagen, even if I’m sure such things exist there. Anyway, I started my rituals by lighting a candle, listening to soft music, and picking an oracle card. After that, I discovered the “Womb…
