Well, he has a new passion :) And that involves changing his clothes at least three times per day, soaking our garden pillows, watering our garden in excess and so on and so forward :) But he’s happy and that’s the most important :) #prinlumecom
We just posted a new article on our blog (link in bio) and we’re talking about our trip to Porto :) So nice to remember those chill days, with long walks, pasteis de nata and Porto wine :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeinportugal #portugal #porto
Honestly, I truly hope that after all this madness ends, we will plan another trip all together :) #prinlumecom #prinlumeinsrilanka #srilanka
Dor ❤️ #prinlumecom
Even though we can’t fully enjoy it, we have an amazing spring in The Netherlands and we truly appreciate the good weather we have, the flowers and the warmth. We can’t stop asking ourselves when it will all end but we keep ourselves busy so that we can avoid these thoughts as much as we can. We’re together, the three of us, we’re healthy and happy. And that’s what matters the most #prinlumecom
We had ups and downs and we’re still having mixed feelings and opinions about everything that is going on in the world, but when this is all over... we just want to travel again without being afraid of germs and viruses that can be spread during a flight (or in the airport), we want to hug our friends and family and just be normal again :) And we have to go back to Porto, for sure, as Alexei keeps saying that he wants to go to “Poto-Poto-Poto” to eat some “nata” (pasteis de nata) :))) He actually takes his small backpack, grabs his Mickey Mouse (newest obssesion) and tell us “buh-bye”, waving his hand, smiling and going to the door :)))) #prinlumecom #prinlumeinportugal #portugal #porto
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
