"14 websites that will change the way you live" - Real Living Magazine
Sometimes things just have a way of turning out somewhat differently than expected (or planned...)... I was planning
on leaving you with some great posts just before Christmas and wishing
all of you a wonderful time, but due to family matters (nothing serious, but just very hectic...) I couldn't finish in time ... SORRY ... but I hope you all had a
great Christmas and enjoyed the time with your loved-ones ... we
had a very special week which we spent with our family and I enjoyed every moment of it ...
After one week of not starting up my computer it was almost exciting this morning to open up my inbox and the internet again ... yes this is how addictive it can feel and it was even more exciting when I read about the very nice mentioning of Bloesem in the Australian magazine Real Living ... WOW, such a HUGE honor to be mentioned like this and together with these other blogs like Poppytalk, Desire to Inspire, Decor8, Design*Sponge, Apartment therapy, I borrowed these scanned images from Jo and Kim from the fabulous blog Desire to Inspire, thanks ladies!
And a special thanks to Hana from Real Living ... I can't tell you enough how grateful I'm for this mentioning and how very nice this is for Bloesem and for me ... a great motivation to try and bring you original and nice posts in 2009! {ps. if anybody can help me with getting a hardcopy of Real Living, please let me know, I would be very happy}
did you end up receiving a hard copy? the latest issue has just gone on sale, but I think I can still find one of that issue...let me know.

Hi Irene
I'm an Australian who lives in Singapore. Love reading your blog - particularly kids - Real Living is available everywhere here - let me know if you haven't got hold of a copy and I'll forward you one. We get cookie and domino also. I'd love to send you some Australian County style Mags - they feature the styling of Shannon Fricke. (shannonfricke.com - great blog too). Enough with the patriotism - congratulations! x Mel

Congrats! I can't wait to get my copy of Real Living, considering all the blog goodness there is to check out! I still haven't opened last issue though - no time!
I was going to say that I'll send you a copy, but it looks like you might have that covered. But feel free to let me know if you ever need any Aussie mags. I love Bloesem so would love to help out :)
