See what I did there?  Putting baby to bed… Anyway, yes, this is the post.  That post that we all thought would possibly come someday where I talk about us reaching the end of the road with trying to have children.  Well, here we are at the end of the road.  I probably shouldn’t say it like that, it’s not …

In order to start with my fertility treatments I had to lose over 80 lbs.  Here in the Netherlands they won’t give you hormone treatments unless you are beneath a certain BMI, due to the risk of hypertension and other complications.  I did really well for about 1.5 years, but I had no idea how difficult it was going to …

Man, taking the photos for the 365 project is not too bad but remembering to blog them every day is.  I think it’s because I’ve often been forgetting to take the photos until the evening and then I end up too tired to bother blogging.  I’m gonna catch up now and see how it goes. I dare say this won’t …

Today I completed my first craft project of 2010.  It’s a Baby Bobble Afghan I started a while back from a pattern by Bernat.  Now I just have to get it packed up and sent off… I’m a little sad in a way, I quite enjoyed working on this and I learned quite a bit as it was only my second …

For the last few days I’ve been keeping myself busy but working on a crochet project I started a while back.  It’s only the second time I’ve crocheted something but I’m quite enjoying working on this pattern.  The first time was when I made a baby blanket for Faela, my friend’s adorable baby girl who is now growing like a …

I’m in Canada, yay!! I’m really tired so don’t know how much I’ll have to say. “Project Baby” was a no-go yet again *Sigh* Everyone who says trying is fun lies.. sex is fun, sex with a purpose other than an orgasm is not. I’m trying not to get too obsessed about it but it gets tiring every month wondering …

After putting Project Baby to bed Xander and I made a promise to each other to make a point of enjoying our freedom.  To take time out together and take little getaways when we can and splurging on ourselves when we are able. We had had such a stressful year in 2013 that we really wanted to find a place …

At least that’s what my doctor said the other day when in the process of telling me why he won’t help me.  Nice. One common theme among expats here in NL is their dislike and distrust of Dutch doctors.  I’ve always sort of been on the fence because I’ve never had a truly horrendous experience like some others have, but …

Today DutchBitch has given me the I love your blog award!  Pretty cool! I’ll be honest.  I’ve seen other people handing these awards out to each other and I’ve been a little jealous and unloved. Not anymore, I’m one of the cool kids now, so to speak! This is how it works, according to DutchBitch: The “I Love Your Blog …

Well winter is slowly creeping in here in the Netherlands.   The leaves are falling, the days are becoming shorter and the sun’s appearances are getting more few and far between. Any day now noon time will start looking like this photo, which was taken out my livingroom window at 11am on a December morning a few years ago. I’m nervous.   …

I also can’t wait for Christmas, like every other year.  Even though I tried to cancel Christmas last year, I still ended up enjoyhing myself with my darling hubby and …
