Day to Day Life

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 …

Saturday my friend Penny and I went into Rotterdam for a girl’s day before she leaves for holiday to California for three weeks. We shopped, had lunch, shopped, sat on some terraces and shopped.  It was a beautiful with our first 20+ degree weather of the year. At the end of the day we went to watch a display that …

So, today is April Fool’s day… and it started out like this, when I sent out a warning to the internet on Twitter (and Facebook). You see, there are a lot of things I hate, cuz I’m like that, I’m a hater… and I really hate 1) being startled 2) being tricked.  The reason for this is because it is …

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 …

Tonight is the night of the super full moon, where it comes the closest it has been to Earth in approximately 18 years. They say the moon is supposed to appear 14% bigger than usual but I’m not sure how you are supposed to really tell. A while back I took photos of the moon for my 101 List, but …

Rather than wearing something green today I decided to give myself an extra special manicure for St. Patty’s Day! I’ve wanted to try the water marble technique and after buying some green and black polish yesterday I figured this was a good time to try it out. It was a very lengthy process and it took quite a few tries …

Today I said something I never thought I’d be saying to my husband.  I don’t think he ever expected it either, but sometimes life brings you to places you never thought you’d be. A little while ago I said the following words… Honey, are you sure you don’t mind if I show everyone your sperm? Really, how many people really …

There was a time when I thought this was bad.  It was the first needle I had to learn to inject myself with and I remember having a minor cardiac arrest at the time because I was so nervous.  It turned out to be quite easy as it was sort of like a diabetic pen.  I just push the needle …

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