Mother's Day is definitely one of the favorite times of the year for The Animals Observatory team. Mother's love means the world to us, so that’s why every year we spend it with Daniëlle Kempen, our fashion stylist friend from Amsterdam. She and her daughter Billy have been guest starring in our Social Media since almost day one, and this year, we wish to go beyond Instagram, and interview her on The Observatory.
One of the perks of getting to spend Mother’s Day with Daniëlle and little Billy is the opportunity to see her grow year after year. Turns out she is not that little anymore, although she is as cute as ever, of course. She and her mother travel a lot, and Daniëlle admits that seeing the world through her eyes is a magical experience. "The moment when you slow down and take more time for all things you do, you see so many more beautiful things around you."
She also tells us about patience being the most important thing that she has learned after being a mother. Well, this and living in the moment, as children and good animals do. Being a mother lets us connect with our inner child on a regular basis, if we pay enough attention.
