We got snow this morning in the Netherlands. So close to Christmas, but it just missed the mark.  I think not having snow is one of the things that makes it more difficult to get into the Christmas spirit over here.  Well, that together with not having friends and family around. It was so nice to wake up and see …

Wasn’t it just yesterday that I took photos of a beautiful sunset seen from our back balcony?  How did we go from that, with all it’s springy hopefulness, to this? Yeah, that’s snow. In Rotterdam… It’s almost March, for pity sake! Not that it stops the neighbourhood children from playing outside.  Oh, to be a kid again when nothing gets …

Dear Mother Nature, What’s with the snow?  I woke up this morning and this is what I saw out my dining room window.  I must say, I was somewhat confused.  It would appear that there has been some sort of miscommunication here.  I SAID winter was over for the year, remember? Spring is coming, winter is over, there will be …

This lady definitely made the best of the recent snow here in Rotterdam.   When we saw her coming we initially thought she had a kid in the sled, but when she got up close we realized it was her groceries.  We told her how clever we thought it was and she said she figured if she had to drag it …

Pixel loves the snow.  When we take her out in it she sniffs around, pushes it with her nose, digs in it and runs around like someone put a firecracker up her arse.  It’s a very exciting time for her! When we first got her she hated being outside if it was anything other than warm summer weather.  Taking her …

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 …

This little girl took great joy in pounding her father with giant snowballs yesterday.  He was a really good sport about it, and I thought that was really cool, because he looked like he was freezing his arse off.  It was nice to see all my neighbours out, not just the children but the parents too.  It appears that in …

This is the totally wonky snowman that we made together with a few of our neighbours this afternoon.  There was more laughing and throwing of snow than there was actual building, but he’s unique and we love him.  The people in our building so rarely socialize, it was nice to just be outside chatting and laughing together. As usual, I …

Yesterday is snowed in the Netherlands and I woke up and squealed like a crazy person.  Thankfully I was home alone as it was one of the few days this month that my husband was called in to work.  I thought about going out to take photos but it was so dark and dreary that I decided not to.  This …

I’m a little late but we had snow last week!  I was so excited!   Of course, it didn’t last long but I managed to get some photos of it in the meantime.  I love when it snows! It started early in the afternoon out of nowhere and looked beautiful with the sun still shining. Then it started getting nasty.  The …

I love Fridays so much.. Don’t have to worry about what time I go to bed because I can sleep however much I want to the next day. Two whole days before I have to go to school again… love it, love it, love it! It’s been snowing here for the past three days or so and in some spots …
