I will not easily forget the day our Reinout was hospitalised with the RS virus. The memories of the 11 days that followed are etched in my memory.

Mother's column – playing the energy game

Small moments of happiness from childhood sometimes just pop up as warm memories. For instance, I recently thought how wonderful it was when my mother used to put our pyjamas over the heating while we were taking a bath. What a joy to be able to put on such a pre-heated nightgown, still a little shaky from drying off!

Mother's column – the joys of a day trip with children

On a bike ride, we discover a treehouse somewhere in the countryside. I decide to go back with the eldest children a few days later. It will surely make a nice day trip! I prepare sandwiches and put drinks and bananas in my bag. There we go, on our way to a tree house that does not belong to us. The weather is a bit colder than I thought. But an adventurous mum does not let that stop her.
