All Good Things Cowl – Free Knitting Pattern

If you ever question my ability to procrastinate, here is the cold hard proof that I have mastered that skill. It was almost two years ago that I first showed my All Good Things cowl here on my blog. I had the best of intentions for releasing the pattern quickly, but then other projects and other things (moving house, injuries, etc) got …

Mediterranean Cruise Day 1: Venice, Italy

We have been home from our cruise for two weeks and I can’t speak for Xander, but I want nothing more than to click my heels, go back in time and do it all over again!  It was wonderful and far surpassed even my wildest expectations.  I was so worried going into this holiday that we were going to regret …

Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!

Ok, maybe just lions… Last month Xander and I got up early and headed off to Arnhem to meet up with some friends at Burgers’ Zoo.  I have wanted to visit for quite some time now as I’ve heard really great things about it, and it gave me a great chance to meet up with Sonya and Candace again.  We …

So, About That Spring Thing…

Wasn’t it just yesterday that I took photos of a beautiful sunset seen from our back balcony?  How did we go from that, with all it’s springy hopefulness, to this? Yeah, that’s snow. In Rotterdam… It’s almost March, for pity sake! Not that it stops the neighbourhood children from playing outside.  Oh, to be a kid again when nothing gets …

30 Days of Truth: Day 29

ha!  Where do I start?  Do I have to just pick one thing? I’d like to change my weight… I’ve not lost a thing in the last three months, but with the fertility treatments and all the hormones that are being pumped into me, it’s taking everything I have just to maintain the weight I had gotten to.  At some …

30 Days of Truth: Day 28

If I got someone pregnant, I would be rich.  The first female to ever get someone else pregnant… can you imagine what Oprah would pay for that story? If I were pregnant, I would be over the moon.  More than over the moon, I’d be in shock.  So much so that I probably would have a hard time believing it …
