My husband is a serious Lego Junkie.  He and his friends are really involved in the robotics side of Lego and over the years he’s become increasingly busy with it.  The biggest event of the year for them is Legoworld in Zwolle.  He goes there each year for almost a week where he and the other Mindstorms guys put on …

One more thing we did while at the campground was played a giant game of checkers.  My husband isn’t a big fan of playing games, unless it’s something like Trivial pursuit where he knows his knowledge will always trump mine.  I couldn’t believe it when we came along the giant checker board and he said he didn’t know how to …

I can’t believe I didn’t share my photos of the Veluwezoom!  I was looking into the archives of my blog to find the photos and realized I never posted it, how can that be? Back in November Xander and I got together with our friends Candace and Fran for a photo walk through the Veluwezoom.  It was so beautiful and …

Before I tell you exactly what the product is, let me give you a bit of a background… We’ve always known that our dogs bark when we aren’t home and would always try to be out for 3-4 hours at most, so that they could go in their crates.  They love their crates and are happy and silent when they …

Also… why did you just come along when I won’t be needing you for very long? I admit it, tonight I ate at McDonald’s.  I know I just moaned the other day about my weight but I did say that it might not be today that I sort my shit out. One thing I have to say, when you don’t …

Rant incoming! It’s about people, and how they suck… and the rules of the road in the Netherlands that I just don’t understand! Today my husband and I were driving to the supermarket, and he nearly hit a biker with the car.  We both instantly thought that the guy was in the wrong, and apparently he thought the same about …

A few months ago a friend of mine told me about a spot in Belgium that she thought I’d like, called Hallerbos. It’s a forest just outside Belgium that, for a few weeks every spring, is completely covered in bluebells. She showed me her photos and I immediately wanted to go.

Well, if you can call it a break, but I will get to that in a moment… Some people have been asking what is going on with us and the fertility treatments.  I’ve not written about it in a while just because I’ve been too exhausted both physically and emotionally. For the last five months, I have spent a LOT …

Yesterday was a very exciting day for us!  It was the day that we finally picked up our new car!   It will be the third car we’ve ever had. The first one we had was a 2006 Renault Clio, it was the company car given to us by Xander’s former employer.  I was so excited to finally have a car …

That’s me about 100 times a day at the dog park.  Oh, give me strength! For the last week or two we have been trying to socialize our dogs by taking them to a nearby enclosed dog park.  Bailey has become quite anti-social over the years, especially with other male dogs.  He snarls and lunges and gives me a heart …

Yesterday when we saw the sunshine yet again, Xander and I grabbed the dogs and headed off to Carnisse Grienden for a walk.
