Men alive I’m recovering from yet another vicious cold. I think it’s one of the worst I’ve ever had.
Well the worst cold I’ve ever had was in January/February of 1998 while I was about to move to Denmark to study architecture while I had a fling with a guy named, Piet, just one month before I met Boris. Those were some crazy months as I recall that Piet (whom I had a 2 weekend-stand with) had to drop medicine in my eyes as my tear ducts were broken due to hard coughing. While I met Piet (the brother of one of my flat mates) I was on the ment and was planning my Denmark life so I didn’t choose to go on and start a relationship with him. But as it happens just a month later, exactly the 14th of March, I met Bo and knew I had to blow off my whole future Danish life as I met the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. That’s why I never forget that cold, or became an architect.
So finally back to blogging again as I have so much to share with you.
Let me first tell you what have kept me busy the past few weeks and some weeks before Christmas and what is going to keep me busy for the next few weeks.
Remember this post? It got so much better after that post.
I’m going to be on TV after all. Nothing fake, nothing weird but something so fun and artsy that I can’t wait to watch it myself. It’s a documentary on bloggers and what keeps us busy as bloggers. For a period of 12 weeks Belgian viewers will watch me bake, garden, shop, visit friends, see me paint my living room and travel with me to London where I’ll speak at Meet The Blogger. But they can also watch Sofie from Fashionata travel to New York City to attend Fashion Week and learn how to sew a skirt from Mamasha. This documentary will air on a channel that currently re-runs The Gilmore Girls … do I have to say more?
Today we had a meeting about the official website which will launch sometime next week. Also tomorrow episode ONE will be made which will air early March. The word excitement is an understatement of how I feel right now as I’m super excited and love working with the team in the image above, shot in the home of my friend, Roel, last week.
Thank you so much for commenting on that one post. It made me so aware of what I do and don’t want. I so believe I’m moving towards the right direction, it makes me happy.
Lots more to come.

Oh Yvonne, dat klinkt geweldig! Hopelijk wordt de serie ook in Nederland uitgezonden, of zou t ook online te zien zijn? Wens je heel veel succes maar vooral ook veel plezier

I am so happy for you – go girl!
Wat onwijs gaaf Yvonne!! Ik kan me voorstellen dat je hier helemaal wild van bent. SUCCES!!
That sounds so exciting, Yvonne! Good luck & enjoy!!! And 1998 was a great year for meeting that special someone
Oh zo leuk ik kijk er al naar uit! Voilà eens een dik pluspunt van Belg te zijn! Wat is de naam van het programma? Komt het op vijf tv? Dan kan ik het in de gaten houden. Heel veel succes!
I am new to your blog and have only just now read your post from October. I am in the process of getting right inline with doing what I love, and saying to hell with the rest of what I think I should be doing and also to others opinion if it’s not their thing. So wonderful to reaffirm all that through your story. Can’t wait to see what happens for you next!

Hi Yvonne. I’ve been sitting on the sidelines, enjoying your blog for awhile now… but this time I just had to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you. You are one of the few that I look forward to reading/viewing; so it’s an understatement to say that you deserve this. Please, please, keep us posted and let us know how your international audience can see this (I’m in Toronto, Canada).I’m so thrilled for you…man, i’d be shaking in my boots knowing i was being recorded. haha.
Klinkt spannend en leuk tegelijkertijd, heel veel succes en plezier gewenst!
Thanks for the enjoyable update, Yvonne. And also a Happy New Year ! I’ll definitely be following along.
P.S.
I just ordered the cutest pair of yellow patent leather loafers from Boden U.S., for spring.
Cheers,
Traci
Hee wat te gek Yvonne!! Ik zal die zender eens gaan opzoeken
Veel plezier en succes!!
Too cool, Yvonne. Rock that camera like no one’s business!!! xx
Eek! That’s really exciting: so pleased for you x
Oh my, I’m so happy for you Yvonne!! So, no chance to see it in the NL or via internet?

Hi Yvonne, I’ve been a long-time follower of your blog – that’s how much I love it, your style and your home esp! Anyway, would love to see this too.
Is there any way we could watch this too? Over the internet?
Hoe leuk is dat????
Volg je blog pas heel kort; maar wat gaaf is dit, zo’n docu!
Op welk kanaal kunnen we dit tzt zien?
Groetjes,
Letty
Dat klinkt geweldig! Ik zal er zijn hoor: voor de buis
Wauw, that’s really cool! I love your blog so im curious what these documentary will be.. There are many before me who also asked it, but hopefuly we can see it somewhere online!
Goodluck and be inspired.
Kind regards,
Souraya | Binti Home
Wat gaaf dit! Ben alleen bang dat het in Nederland niet te volgen zal zijn, maar dat zullen we tzt wel zien. Gewoon laten zien wat je als blogger doet, zonder rare poespas en formats, dat lijkt me ook veel fijner!
That sounds fabulous! Wish I could watch it over in South Africa too! x
Fantastic news Yvonne, really exciting and fabulous! We UK followers would love to be able to see these programmes – do let us know if you can how we might be able to do that… All best
Zo zie je maar weer. Trouw blijven aan jezelf en je komt er wel (ff noteren voor mezelf).
Ik hoop dat wij Ollanders de serie ook kunnen kijken, dat zou echt leuk zijn.
Oh Yvonne, how cool! I’m really happy for you. It sounds amazing. I loved the story of how your met Boris, too.
Gillian x
Wow, wat cool! Gefeliciteerd!
I always love reading your blog Yvonne and am I huge fan. I never get as much time these days to comment however, from reading this (true) story I really had to take the time post this! Your post today really put a smile on my face and I’m so excited for you for your new venture. I’ll certainly be tuning in to see how it all goes and might have to stream it *cough* *cough* – Maybe channel 4 can pick it up in the UK.
Waaauuuww super gaaaf!!! Ik kan niet wachten om het te zien! Zie ik mijn voorbeeld ‘in actie’! Liefs rebecca
How exciting! I love your blog and am so excited for you! Is there any way I can watch them online?
Hi Yvonne, Happy New Year! The best of luck! Have never seen ixxi before, just posted them on my Facebook and Liked them. It would look brilliant in black & white photos of your family tree – must have! By the way the soup kitchen looks like such a wonderful place to work and would love it for my kitchen x

What a wonderful start to 2013 for you! I’m super excited to hear you speak at Meet the Blogger in London and also hope to catch you at the Selina Lake book launch also in March. x
This is such wonderful news! congrats to you! ohhh i wish i could watch, here is the states. ; )
xo
Anyway we can catch it in the UK ? I’d love to see it
Wat spannend zeg, leuk dat je dit doet en mag doen! Ken je trouwens de nieuwe serie ‘Bunheads’? Deze wordt gemaakt door een van de makers van de Gilmore Girls, veel bekende gezichten, de oude vertrouwde humor en zo af en toe een fijn lalala muziekje. Ik zag gister de eerste aflevering en ben er stiekem best over te spreken
.
Congratulations! That’s fabulous! I hope you really enjoy the experience. It would be a dream come true for many bloggers. Wish I could see the TV episodes after they are filmed. Will they be screened outside of Belgium?
Oh, dat klinkt veelbelovend! Ik ga zeker kijken naar dat kanaal dat Gilmore Girls-herhalingen uitzendt!
yeahah you rock! can’t wait!! xxx
Oh Wow! That is so exciting – congratulations!!! It’s sounds like it will be an amazing doco, I hope that somehow I’ll get to view it here in Australia or over the internet!
I am so inspired by you, your blog, your mindfulness and your focus. I hope to be meeting you in London so I can tell you this in person
