One (more) thing I love about where I work is the view.   On the 10th floor in the middle of the city, I can see quite a lot.   So if I have a minute it’s nice to watch people out and about doing their thing.   It’s also nice when the sun is going down and we all know it’s almost …

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 …

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 …

Laura, Penny, and Tammy Originally uploaded by laura95368 One of my closest friends since coming to the Netherlands is Penny, a California girl who moved here to the Netherlands about four years ago. She is also married to a former skater boy and like all my other friends, is PREGNANT! Ever since I’ve known her she’s talked about her friend …

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 …

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over already!  I spent ages counting the days until it got here, and now it’s passed.   Isn’t that always the way? It was sort of weird on Christmas Eve because it didn’t really seem like Christmas at all.   We ordered some Chinese food and I spent a while making these rat hammocks for …

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 …

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 …

A few years ago, actually… more like 15 years ago (ugh!) my friend Peggi and I went out for a drive and were looking for some nice places to take pics. We drove about 15 minutes away from home and found these really nice waterfalls tucked in off an old dirt road. If we weren’t looking for a spot we …

I’m so behind on these updates but I’m enjoying my time away too much to spend time behind my computer. I can’t believe a week has gone by already! My cold is almost gone, all I have left is that annoying ‘tickle’ cough which usually stays with me for ages. I don’t mind though, I have a lot to take …

I visited my friend Gail’s blog earlier and when I saw the title In Memory of Greg Leborgne I thought that it’s weird that there is another Greg Leborgne out there, as it’s not really a common name.   I was in a state of denial as I read on, I knew it was him but I didn’t want to accept …
