Your village lives closer than you think
Meet the mothers a few streets away — and keep what your child did today, just by saying it out loud.

The park is full of mothers. Nobody speaks.
Maternity leave can be the loneliest year of your life — never alone, and never with anyone. Blijdorp shows you the mothers in your own neighbourhood, by area, never an exact address.
Post an open invitation — “walking at eleven, join if you’re free” — and whoever is free says yes. Once you’ve actually met, the app gets out of the way.
You never had time for the notebook
So talk instead. Ten seconds, one hand, any language — a first step, how she’s sleeping this week, what you did this summer. It becomes a written page with the date already on it.
Add the photos that belong with the day, and every entry becomes a page in her album. Your journal is private: nobody on the map can ever see it.
And one day, a real book
Flip through the album like a book. Share it with grandparents by a single link — they read it in their browser, no app, no account, and you can turn the link off whenever you like.
When the year is full, export it as a print-ready PDF. Square pages, one memory each. The year on a shelf instead of on a phone.
Blijdorp works by invitation
Real names, real neighbours — that’s the whole point. If you know a member, ask her for a code. If you don’t, leave your name and I’ll send you one myself.
Thank you — I’ll be in touch soon. 🤍
