Ever wonder what happens when you get between a dog and a chicken bone? That… that is what happens when you try to wrestle a chicken bone from the mouth of a Yorkie. A few weeks ago I was walking along minding my own business, the dogs were running around sniffing everything and eating poo like every other day when …

Today I can mark another item off my 101 List!  It was a beautifully sunny day in Rotterdam today and even though my husband is quite sick with a throat infection, that still couldn’t keep him down.  Both of us were really keen to get out and do something to enjoy the nice weather so we hopped in the car …

A soul patch?  No. Just… no. I love you Charlie, I like your face, I like your voice, I even believe you deserve your own team just like Edward and all the other boys, but the soul patch?  This video? No.

Something I’ve noticed, and loved, about biking is that I come across things I probably would never have seen otherwise.  There are places just steps away from areas I’ve driven a thousand times, where I see something new that I didn’t even know was there. As we were biking along the Oude Maas the other day I saw this and …

My husband took this photo of me at about 8am in the morning.  We left the house sometime around 7:30am to go for a short ride while the wind was low and the sun was out a bit. It was so peaceful and lovely, I was in heaven!  I’m so glad that we are both early birds and enjoy doing …

Ever since I first heard that this movie is happening, I’ve been impatiently waiting to find out who Stephanie Plum’s leading men would be.  I really do dig Katherine Heigl as Stephanie and was really worried that they would go all wrong with the casting of Ranger and Morelli.  I was also keen to see if, by some slim chance, …

Today my husband and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary.  Like any couple we’ve had our issues… my problems settling in the Netherlands, his Lego addiction, my late night mosquito rages… but one thing that has never changed is our love for each other.  Well, MY love for HIM I should say.   I’m not so sure about his love …

The above video was taken this evening just after 8pm.  It’s our Remembrance Day (Dodenherdenking) in the Netherlands today and during a 2 minute silence at Dam Square in Amsterdam panic broke out.  There are a number of stories in regards to what started it all, someone screaming, becoming unwell and knocking a barrier over, knocking over some baggage, talking …

On March 6th I had finally lost 50 lbs.  It took me a while to lose the last 1-2 lbs to get there, which feels silly I mean it’s ONLY 1-2 lbs.  It seemed to go on forever though as I had reached that dreaded plateau everyone told me was coming.  Since then I’ve been teeter tottering back and forth …

This year the Tour de France will begin in Rotterdam.  As I was walking over the Erasmusbrug last weekend I saw this on the pavement, all the preparations have begun.  The excitement is growing! This is a big thing for Rotterdam and while I’m sure the city center will be a nightmare I’m happy that we get the honor this …

Wait, not just yet!  If you want to really do it right you have to wait until Wednesday, that is the next full moon.   Tonight I looked out the window and saw a beautiful dark sky with a clear moon and I had the urge to get my camera out.  I have only the two lenses that came with …
