Every so often I browse through the events that will be happening at the Ahoy here in Rotterdam, which is where most of the big shows take place.  It’s only about 5 minutes from my house and there are big concerts going on there all the time.  I’ve never been to any, although I did see Cirque du Soliel’s Dralion …

I saw this on Facebook and thought I’d put it on here instead, I love these memory lane type of memes!   Man, I’ve been meme-ing a lot lately!  Forgive me! **** 15 YEARS AGO (1994) **** 1) How old were you?  — 18 2) Who were you dating?  —  Dana Reid 3) Where did you work?  —  Cotton Ginny (clothing …

Holy crap, can you believe it?!!  I remember when I started the countdown on my header, it was 68 days until Christmas and now it’s here! This is where Xander and I will spend Christmas Eve – in front of the tree, behind our laptops, just the way we like it!  Ok, I’m sure I’d probably prefer to be visiting …

Saturday myself and Penny were off to the Christmas market in Cologne, Germany.   We’d been looking forward to going for weeks on end so we were both totally stoked.   I think we weren’t really prepared for what was waiting for us though. We knew it was going to be busy, since it is getting closer to Christmas and we went …

Yesterday while working on some crafts I watched the movie Mamma Mia.  I’d been wanting to see this movie but had a hellish time getting there.  My friend Penny doesn’t like musicals, my husband would rather hand over his left testicle on a plate than see it and everyone else either wasn’t into it or we had trouble sorting out …

For the last number of years I’ve been dying to visit the Christmas markets in Germany.   Since my husband was never too keen, it never really happened.   This year I was talking to my friend Penny about it and we decided to book a trip for the two of us to go.  On December 13th we are going to Cologne! …

On Friday I met up with my friend Penny for lunch and a bit of shopping.  She had her son Noah with her and I couldn’t help but snap a few photos of him.   He’s at that cool age where he’s really starting to get some personality, which made it a lot more fun. He really loves being in front …

My parents have been here now for a week and a half.   I have three days left with them before we get up and put them on a plane… not something I am looking forward to.   I am looking forward to getting back to our old routine, as I’m sure my parents are… but the airport scene always sucks.  I …

Kill me now.  I mean it… just take me out back like a lame horse and put me down.   I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! My parents will be here in four days. FOUR DAYS. Tomorrow it will only be THREE DAYS… and I have a cold!  It started out as loads of sneezing, but I told myself it …

Today DutchBitch has given me the I love your blog award!  Pretty cool! I’ll be honest.  I’ve seen other people handing these awards out to each other and I’ve been a little jealous and unloved. Not anymore, I’m one of the cool kids now, so to speak! This is how it works, according to DutchBitch: The “I Love Your Blog …

If you grew up in Canada, chances are you love Kraft Dinner, just like me. If you are an expat in the Netherlands, you know it’s not easy to find here and when you do find it it’s expensive (but always worth the buy). Recently, Albert Heijn has started carrying an assortment of imported items.  Among these items are Tesi …
