Liberty Frenzy!




For the first time of my life I could finally organize a birthday that had nothing to do with soccer, skate board, spider-man or cars... My niece blew her first candle and for one day my home turned into a Liberty show-room.... Thanks to Mage Pâtisserie, the Smurfs did not escape the frenzy!

Is summer ever going to arrive?












In the meantime get ready....












Run to Ikea and get all you need for your next barbecue! From napkins to cups, give your burgers a touch of Liberty!

I am back....











From Sri Lanka and 
on SwissMiss Tips...













When I started this blog couple of months ago I had not realized how hard it is to make it alive everyday! I am not inspired everyday...Some days I am not in a sharing mood...Some days I have 3 kids at home sick and the last thing I have time to do is refreshing my blog... Weeks passed and I suddenly received comments from you asking why I stopped blogging and all these comments sounded almost worried of my situation!
No Blog = Something is wrong with that girl...

I am fine and just got back from Sri Lanka with new energy and thus lots of inspiration!
Sri Lanka is an amazing country where your holidays turn into a sweet mix between "beach laying maldives" and "crazy exhausting India".
Tina at VickyH Destinations took care of our getaway and everything was perfect from sun, beach house, rice and curry, to surfing, antiques, Tuk Tuk drivers and Buddhist temples.
One Swiss Miss tip: if you are a diehard Coke drinker, you better get your stock in Colombo, because the closest you'll get to it on your road trip is KiK.
Don't we love a country where Coke can not be found at every corner?

Don't you want to be part of it?



Just a click away from responsible shopping...


The IOU Project produces unique pieces of apparel out of hand-woven fabric coming from India. Each piece has its own story, from the weaver to the  assembler, to you. This project, awarded for the best innovation of the year 2012 by the Luxury Briefing Awards, definitely needs your attention for a couple of minutes. Watch it, it's worth it!

Only for us!














We actually might need a little help....










Isn't it great to build the car of our dream and not an endless star war rocket. I just love this new Lego, very cool family project for this weekend!

Do you Prezi?







A new way to present...








I must be at my 7th school presentation on a weird and unheard animal and my older son is only 9... One can understand that my "Super Mom" job of assisting (doing) my kids' school presentations is not finished yet! I had to find a new exciting way of doing it. Here it is... Prezi.com
Pan and zoom, import pics, videos, music, connect all your bullet points. Your super endangered specie will come back to life and your presentation look like the best ad of the year!

And my dream came true...Almost...


The first time I came across Tracey Emin's work with neon lights, I immediately put it in my top ten dream list. I fell in love with this piece and could see it fitting so perfectly above my bed. A couple of years later, my dream to  own such a piece almost came true. Thanks to this very cool new concept s[edition], I could own a digital edition of one of my favorite piece of art and enjoy it as a wallpaper on my computer, iPhone and iPad.  s[edition] provides a new way to love art by making collecting instant, affordable, social and enjoyable. Every edition is numbered and sold with a unique Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist. s[edition] also provides a fun and easy way to gift art. Another present idea...Why am I such in a gifting mood? Is it a post Christmas symptom?

Need a gift idea?

Finally writing my first post...It does take a lot of courage to publish a tip, an idea, or a picture. Am I writing a good post? Is it cool or interesting enough? What are my future readers going to think? Many questions, many doubts, many fears, but just one wish: to get started! Here I am, on January 19th 2012, writing my first SwissMiss Tip.

I was going through the massive amount of presents my boys received for Christmas. Being surrounded by multiple aunts, uncles and four sets of grandparents, I let you imagine how the Christmas tree looked like....Here I am figuring out how to fit everything nicely into their rooms. This mini Santa Claus caught my eye. Developed in Tokyo, Nanoblocks are the world's smallest building blocks. My little guys loved building it, carrying it around, destroying it and to finally rebuild it. An endless game, which does not fill half of their rooms!
From the Eiffel Tower to the Giant panda, I am sure you will find your favorite Nanoblock to gift!
Find them in Switzerland on Internet.ch
