about

Hallo September is a blog written by me, Mirjam, 30-something, who lives with her husband and two children (toddler girl *2010* and baby boy *2012*) in a small city in the eastern part of the Netherlands.

Having my own blog was a kind of ‘reward’ I promised myself while studying for my Master’s degree (M Ed) but it took more than a year after I earned my Master’s to set up Hallo September in September 2012. Apart from being busy with my family and job (teaching English at a local secondary school) I was not quite sure what my blog had to look like and – more importantly – what exactly I wanted to write about. I read a lot of blogs (and magazines, for I am a magazine junk!) and did a lot of thinking (preferably when drinking tea, many, many cups!) and finally came up with Hallo September.

September is the month in which, in The Netherlands, the so-called woonmaand starts, a month in which living is celebrated in different ways in all kinds of magazines and a big fair (the Woonbeurs) is held. September is also the month in which my youngest was born. Although these two things, living and my son’s birth, might not seem to relate to each other, to me they do! On Hallo September I primarily want to share my love for interior design where possible linked to my personal life. Added to this will be other lifestyle topics like living in the country, design, cooking, small DIY/craft projects, travelling ...
