I am 40 years old and I am the mother of two precious kids, Elise and Dinand. I live on the island Curacao where I was born and raised by both my parents in a household which consisted of 6 other siblings. Out of the 7 siblings I am the 7th child. I was very young in comparison to an otherwise grown up household which is why I was bound to become an old soul. As a child I was always making conversations with adults which boosted my development in both language skills and vocabulary giving me a great advantage to my age peers. Some may say that I am also a miracle baby seeing as my mom was 46 when I was born. I have learned a lot from my mom. She always feared that she would pass away and leave me all alone at a young age which is why she made sure she taught me as much as she could in the time we had together. One of the primary things she taught me is baking. Today baking has become one of my passions and people love my work. Even though being in a grown household has its perks, it had its most obvious downside. As of today both my parents, my grandparents and other siblings, whom I loved so much, have passed away. They will always be in my heart and I use their teachings as my guidance.

 

I became a mother myself at the age of 20 and my second child was born 3 years later. My kids have always been my strength, my motive to keep going and continue to be everyday. I know I am their role model so it was important for me to be a good mother and achieve greatness. I am so grateful for the bond I have with my daughter Elise who is 19 and my son Didi who is 17. We are a happy family of three at the moment. I know I am going to meet the love of my life at some point and I am waiting patiently for him to arrive. In the meantime I will be focusing on my children, my work and my hobbies. I enjoy reading books, as well as writing articles of my own (you can read my blog on this site), baking and gardening. I love being in nature, the beach and taking long walks.
