This week I’m FOADing my husband and his World of Warcraft addiction.   I am quickly reaching the end of my rope with it and I feel like a total hypocrite about it… but I don’t care.  I’m sick to death of his gaming addiction. Being a former gamer myself it’s hard not to feel like I don’t have a lot …

I so need one of these. I have a cold… AGAIN!! Two colds in less than three months… do I even have an immune system?! I blame Xander.  Last week he came home, sneezed twice and said he thought he might be coming down with something.  Then of course, was fine. This is how it always happens.  He comes home …

None of the reasons above have …

I’ve been talking for a while about getting a sewing machine to try to make things to sell like rat hammocks, hedgie bags, play tubes and other fun pet stuff.   Basically, an idea for me to try to bring in a little bit of money. We had planned on getting me one for x-mas but x-mas came early!  We found …

Did you know the Dutch are not only famous for their weed, but for their dominos too? Every year we have Domino Day here in the Netherlands, where a group of Dutch domino enthusiasts try to break the world record for the most amount of dominos toppled.  Usually their own record because they seem to be the best at it. This …

Ok, road trip is probably exaggerating but considering how long we went without a car, our day yesterday felt more like a road trip than anything we’ve done in years! We went to visit our friend Erwin who has just returned to the Netherlands after living in Germany for the past nine years.  He has moved to a place called Egmond …
