For some reason I’ve been craving Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups lately.  They aren’t even my favorite treat, although I do love the Reese’s Pieces.  It can’t be explained, I just want it… a lot!  We can’t get them here in the Netherlands though, and even if we could I should probably avoid them like the plague as I’m sure they …

A while back I went out for dinner with a friend and we somehow got on the topic of milk.  They couldn’t believe me when I told them that we get our milk in bags back in Canada. They also couldn’t believe that we actually had a milk man who would come in the morning and leave our milk between …

I’m a fan of Twilight, I don’t think that’s any secret around here.  Even though the first movie frustrated me with Bella’s lip biting and head wobbling, the missing pieces and the bits thrown in that weren’t even in the book… I’ve still watched it again.  Ok more than once, leave me alone! While reading the books I was also …

I know, I’m STILL going on about mosquitoes in February, but they are still causing me pain! See, here’s what happened.  It was early September and I was laying in bed in the wee hours of the morning when I felt a mosquito bite on my back.  It was about 3am – 4am and I was not ready to wake …

Last night on our way to the Film Festival I had to stop and just look at this for a moment.  It’s the square at Schouwburgplein in Rotterdam.  The photo doesn’t do it justice, but there were so many twinkling lights and on a cold winter night it looked really beautiful. The red things that look like cranes actually have …

Last night my friend Heather and I attended the International Film Festival here in Rotterdam.  I have never been to a film festival of any kind so I had no idea what to expect.  It was her idea, and in the beginning I was willing to go but wasn’t entirely on board.   I’m not a big lover of what I …

This morning we woke up to a bit of snow in the Netherlands.  At 10am my husband and I hopped in the car and set off to Kinderdijk! I’ve been there a number of times, the first time back in 2007 with the girls, then in 2008 with my parents and also once or twice with my husband. I’ve been …

A few weeks ago my friend Penny and I went to see The Full Monty Musical in Roosendaal.  I had bought her a ticket as a Christmas present and we’d both really been looking forward to it.  A girl’s night out, naked men, honestly… what more could we ask for? Ok, maybe some homemade hot fudge… which she made for …

I got these eight books for only €27!  Not a bad deal at all! This past weekend I visited Het Boekenfestijn in Ahoy, which is a huge book festival that is held once a year to sell off books that were left over from the year’s stock.   I had never been and was curious about what it was like after …

Was wondering if I could write a blog with my phone. Found a WP app on the Android market and decided to test it. Here goes nothing! Adding some random photo I took months ago to test the camera. No idea how it will format it.

Around this time last year I did a post about what my choices would be for Stephanie Plum Movie Castings, if she were ever to come to the big screen.  There has been a lot of debate about it, but I still stand firmly behind my selections. The other day I saw an article on the MOVIETASTIC website SCREENRANT about …
