I get many messages from you. They are positive, kind, some admiring, and occasionally negative too. But do you know which ones I have been getting the most lately? Curious ones. Especially on Instagram, where I actively post daily instastories... you ask me how I do it with those two kids, that I am always somewhere else, at swimming pools, stays, weekends away, events, but also cooking at home, always smiling, cheerful, and that it "can't" be done with kids! So here is a little answer...
A few years back I had a period when I valued things very much. I surrounded myself with them and cared about their "value". And do you know what that brought me? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing.
And so I turned over a new leaf and currently I only value the value of the moment. I try to live every single minute to the full. It looks like this: when I cook, for example, I don't rush, it is no longer just an activity for me, but an experience... I pull out a great apron, pour myself a glass of wine and Matias and I make a tremendous mess in the kitchen. I even turn it into a video for Insta and above all I don't divide activities into children's and grown-up ones. The kids do everything with me, absolutely everything. So at our place Matias does the vacuuming. 
I no longer worry about what I can and can't do and I take life as it comes. When you elevate even everyday, routine activities into experiences, you will always be cheerful. For example, the day before yesterday I was going to a pedicure and a "thick-necked" gentleman crashed into me from behind at a junction. He got out and waited for an argument, but with one look I saw that nothing was wrong with the car and a heartfelt thank-you fell out of me, that he hadn't wrecked my car so I could go to my pedicure. He almost fainted, didn't close his mouth and probably still hasn't understood. But I am really happy! ...even though a few days later, on a neighbour's remark, I found out that my parking sensors don't work, since he had "broken" them, oh dear!
.. believe me, it is better to be than to have!
