Woe is Me

I have a bunch of stuff in my head but can’t really concentrate on one single thing.  Welcome to my pity party… I went to a party last weekend that had a lot of crying snot covered little kids in a small area.  Having not purchased myself a plastic bubble yet, I got ANOTHER COLD.  Yeah, you heard me right… …

Smiley Noah

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 …

A Day in Roosendaal

Today I went to visit my friend Penny in Roosendaal.  She showed me around the city center of Roosendaal, including this really beautiful shopping area that serves as a walkway between one side of the city center and the other. It’s been renovated recently and it just looks so nice!  I have no idea how it looked before but it’s …

Faela, Fitting Right In!

Faela is going to need her own category soon.   I’m addicted to this child!  Holding her, kissing her (omg, she still has that baby smell, I love it) and most of all, taking pics of her! I took this pic on Wednesday when she and her mom joined myself and a group of other gals at Bagels & Beans for …

The Fashionable Frump

Today I went out for the afternoon with my girlfriends.  We met at Bagels & Beans in the big bookstore in the city center, had some lunch and gabbed our asses off.  Two of the girls arrived with their baby girls that are only 10 days apart, so there was a lot of oohing and aahing going on.   At one …

Babies Everywhere!

Have you ever seen such amazing big brown eyes?  This is Tiana, the daughter of a new expat friend of mine from the UK. Thank god I’m over my baby fever because I’m surrounded with them at the moment!  Almost very woman I know is either pregnant or recently popped.  A few years ago this would have been extremely difficult …

Baby Faela

I got a mail yesterday from Faela’s proud mommy showing me how adorable she looks in the blanket I made for her.   She also gave me permission to post a photo so I can show her (and the blanket) off a little! I need to learn to knit more because I’ve seen soooo many cute patterns for things I would …

For Faela

Yesterday afternoon Xander and I went to visit our friends Paule and Warnoud.   While we were in Canada Paule gave birth to a beautiful little girl named Faela.   I would post a photo of her but I forgot to ask them about it and I don’t want to put up pics of someone’s child without their permission.   You’ll just have …

Um… Yuck?

Ok I’m not a mother so maybe I just don’t get what would possess this woman to breastfeed her children so long.  By so long I don’t mean until they are 14 months rather than 9 months, I mean like… until they are 5 and 8 years old and then some. It can’t be just me who found it incredibly …

Musical Mongos

That’s what Xander calls the kids across the street. Mean I suppose, but I still can’t help but laugh when he tells me “The Musical Mongos are on parade!”. It’s that time of year again, when they workers at the special needs school across the street start putting their patients outside for a little sun and fresh air. After an …

00-Simms

Couldn’t think of another title for this blog, so I picked 00-Simms (Double O Simms) because I’m watching First Kid on TV. The character in the movie played by Sinbad calls himself that. I know it looks like a ridiculous movie, and it is, but there’s something enjoyable about it as well. I must have seen it four times already …
