Our main activity these days :) I added the chill music in an ironic note, these are usually anything but chill moments as we have to constantly take care where is Alexei painting/drawing/coloring :)) Of course he would express his artistic side on our walls but we try to explain that paper is better :)) He usually understands this so we didn’t have problems so far, but of course there’s always a start for everything :)) #prinlumecom

Zilele trecute vazusem pe pagina prietenei noastre, Iulia de la @jurnaldulce , o ilustratie cu familia lor draguta, facuta de @andreeaillustration :) Si am vrut sa avem si noi una, pe care sa o printam si inramam (cand vom putea face asta :D). Andreea e foarte talentata iar portretele ei pot fi oferite cadou (de iepuras spre exemplu :D), fie in varianta digitala, fie gata printate si inramate. Voi lasa link in stories catre siteul ei, unde fiecare portret poate fi personalizat. Mi s-a parut dragut cum a selectat mai multe poze de pe profilul nostru si a facut ilustratia (nu prea avem poze toti trei impreuna), iar Alexei poarta overallul albastru de lana iar eu paltonasul cu volane de la @lauraionfashion :))) Probabil ca le-am purtat amandoi excesiv iarna aceasta :))) #prinlumecom

Before all this madness with corona virus we were saying that the biggest mistakes we made in our move to The Netherlands were the fact that we moved here in November and the fact that we have chosen to live outside Utrecht (where we could afford to stay in a house). We were blaming ourselves that we should have chosen a small apartment in the center of the town, because we’re social persons, we love having people around, we love having all sort of events to attend, we love the city vibes. And we even concluded that we would have probably seen this relocation experience from a totally different perspective. Now we are thankful for our so called mistake. We couldn’t be happier to stay here, in a house with a small courtyard, where we can spend time with Alexei and enjoy this gorgeous spring we now have in NL. It was a good mistake in the end :) #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #nl #netherlands

There’s a nice restaurant in Utrecht that has this lovely view. We’ve been there three weeks ago, when things were completely different and I was not freaking out when Alexei was touching the windows, the floor or pushing the chairs in the restaurant :) I like the way Alexei is looking through the window, holding his bunny in his arms, it just seems so representative to the times we’re living :) #prinlumecom

Days in isolation ❤️ #prinlumemovingtonl

We are all living difficult times but we have to keep our hopes up. On a more optimistic note, we would like to offer a new present. Weeks ago we discovered @mrstarskyamsterdam , a Dutch brand that makes really cute posters with the sky seen at the exact date and time of our child's birth. So we will offer a poster and a frame as the one in our picture and of course it can be personalized with the name of your child and date and time of his/her birth. Or any other personalized text :) If you don’t want to wait for the contest to end and would like to order a poster, you can visit their website and choose other designs. Now that we can no longer visit each other, it could be a great idea as a present for a mother :) For newborns, for birthdays or who knows... maybe cancelled baptism parties. It could brighten their day :) The rules of the contest are as follows:1. follow @mrstarskyamsterdam and @prinlume 2. add a comment with a tag to a person who would like to win this prize3. there can be multiple entries as long as the person in the tag is different We will announce the winner via random.org on Tuesday. Good luck! #giftsbyprinlume

Wondering how Utrecht looks like these days :) The canals must be gorgeous, the tiny narrow streets as well. Even though it is probably empty as I’ve never seen it before, I’m sure it looks really nice with all these spring vibes :) For the first time since we moved in NL I can say that the weather is amazing! And whoever said that NL is a totally different country during spring and summer, was right! Looking at the sunny days we have in the next period, it is hard to believe how much it rained in the last month! We were definitely in a different country :D PS: this picture was taken by my father, when they visited us in January :) #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #nl #netherlands #utrecht

We are wondering how our lives will look like after this worldwide lockdown (in NL we don’t have a lockdown yet, just recommendations for self isolation - but not a strict one). Traveling will become a luxury (actually even going around our house seems like the most adventurous thing we can do), we will probably be afraid to interact with people (i can see myself already becoming a bit paranoid when it comes to human interaction, I just don’t want anyone around us...), we will be obssesed with cleaning every surface and we will doubt everyone around us. It will be hard. We will probably face a really nasty economic crisis, one that we cannot even imagine. Everything will be completely different than what we were used to. Our priorities will change. Our spending habits will change. Our social life will change. But let’s hope that everything will end soon. We just have to be patient and... stay home. Ps: this picture was taken in the first week when we moved to Netherlands, in November :) #prinlumecom

We posted a new article on our blog (link in bio) describing the reasons why we decided to move back to Romania. However, our plans are completely messed up at this point and we have absolutely no idea what we will do next. Or when. It is weird to have no idea how our lives will look like in the next few months but we know that everyone is going through similar uncertainty. We just hope everything will end soon! #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #nl #netherlands

Moments like this one in Amsterdam (last month) will hopefully be part of our normal life again. What we find the most challenging now is how to explain to Alexei what is going on, why we cannot go out, why he cannot use the slide from the back of our house anymore (it’s a public playground, where we see many children every day, playing there with their parents), why we have to be so careful and socially distant. He wants to interact with people and children and is quite sad to see him so excited when other people and children are walking in front of our home, waving hands or smiling to him. How do you explain to your children everything that is going on? We’re curious to see if there is a... let’s call it baby friendly method to explain them this entire situation :(

Funny thing (or not) is the fact that the local weekly market in Zeist (the small town close to Utrecht, where we live now) is still opened as usually. Perhaps this is part of the “herd immunity” project NL is so actively talking about. 13 covid cases in Zeist, so we’re on the good track. Jokes aside, we really miss having fresh flowers in our home :( #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #nl #netherlands

Funny how cheerful we were three weeks ago in a public toilet, at the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam. Now I would probably freak out if I had to change Alexei in a public place :))) I’m actually becoming a bit paranoid with all this madness with corona virus. Let’s hope it will all end soon #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #nl #netherlands

Lately, I’ve been posting a lot in our stories about one of my biggest passion: sewing :) I have always loved sewing and in 2018 I managed to graduate a fashion design school (@artandstyleschool). Since then I wanted to open my own brand and create diaphane dresses like these ones but due to our move to NL I had to postpone this plan. I am now working as much as possible to create a small stock of dresses. I am also collaborating with a workshop that helps me with a bit of production. Hopefully, I will finally be able to start everything this summer :) As I received many questions about these dresses, yes, they are for sale, but right now it’s a bit difficult to handle any kind of delivery. I will come back with more details once everything will be sorted out :) Anyways, the dresses will be in limited edition (planning to sew a maximum of five identical dresses), so that everyone who will have them can feel that they are wearing a unique, handmade product :) #comingsoon

There was a time when going to a museum with my little guy was part of our normal day by day life. That time was... three weeks ago. Who would have thought that everything would be so different now? #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #nl #netherlands #utrecht #railwaymuseum #spoorwegmuseum

We took this picture yesterday, in our backyard, just because we wanted to capture a bit of spring in our feed :) One of the things that keep us mentally sane is the fact that despite all this isolation we’re all living, this spring is amazing. Yes, even here, in the Land of Rain. It’s sunny, it’s warm and we have amazing golden hour light :) It might not be the spring we’ve imagined (we had so many plans to visit so many places in NL before our move back to Romania) but it’s still nice to see how everything is slowly coming back to life. After such a rainy February, we truly appreciate these gorgeous days ❤️ #prinlumecom #prinlumemovingtonl #netherlands #nl #designeriromaniprinlume
