Linda Tol lives in Haarlem, near Amsterdam, with her partner Renwe and their three children, Louie, 6, Lila, 3, and Lenu, 1. The family of five combines family life, work and lots of little adventures in their everyday life. Together, Linda and Renwe run their own coffee bar and bakery, while Linda also works as a digital talent, creating content and collaborating with fashion- and lifestyle brands.
The family especially enjoys the simple moments they share – from having breakfast together and going for bike rides to spending time in the park or going out for coffee and something sweet. And whenever they have the chance, they love travelling together, discovering new places and seeing the world through the children’s eyes. For Linda, family life is all about being together, being present and creating memories along the way.

What do you enjoy most about spending time together as a family, and are there any little rituals or activities you especially love?
I love the simple moments we share together, like having breakfast in the morning, going for a bike ride, spending time in the park or going out for coffee and something sweet. But we especially love travelling together. Discovering new places, experiencing different cultures and seeing the world through the children’s eyes is something we really value.
Because our everyday life is quite busy, travelling gives us the opportunity to slow down, be fully present and really spend quality time together as a family. Those are the moments we cherish most.

When it comes to your children’s style, what do you look for in their shoes – and which bisgaard styles are your favorites this season?
For me, children’s shoes need to be comfortable and practical, but I also really care about how they look. I tend to choose simple, timeless styles that work with everything and can be worn every day.
I love that bisgaard combines functionality with a beautiful aesthetic. This season, I’m especially drawn to Bruce, Neo and Barefoot Katie. They are practical, super comfortable, feel effortless and work so well with the way I like to dress the kids.
