A Canadian girl living in the Netherlands with her Dutch hubby. A total TV and movie junkie who enjoys crafting, taking care of her mini-zoo and general geekery. Otherwise just working on getting by and making a life for herself in her 'new' country.
Mamma Mia! Meh.
Yesterday while working on some crafts I watched the movie Mamma Mia. I’d been wanting to see this movie but had a hellish time getting there. My friend Penny doesn’t like musicals, my husband would rather hand over his left testicle on a plate than see it and everyone else either wasn’t into it or [...]

Going to Cologne!
For the last number of years I’ve been dying to visit the Christmas markets in Germany. Since my husband was never too keen, it never really happened. This year I was talking to my friend Penny about it and we decided to book a trip for the two of us to go. On December 13th [...]

The Tooth is Out!
Oh yeah baby! You didn’t think I’d go through the torture of sitting there while Xander had his tooth pulled and NOT get it to take pics of, did you? I mean I took pics of mine that time, so you should expect no difference now.
*snicker*
Seriously, that was in the mouth of the man I [...]

Least Favorite Places - Huisartsenpost
If I were to make a list of my least favorite places to be here in the Netherlands, it would be here. The waiting room at our local huisartsenpost (kind of like outpatients, where you go outside of office hours, only … different). I took this photo with my mobile while sitting there being miserable [...]

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 [...]

The Odd Struggle
I have been reading the book Odd Thomas for over a month. I’ve been dying to read this book for quite a long time and when I got a gift certificate from work for the big book store in town, I went out and bought it. I also bought the next book in the series, [...]

Decorating Early
Today while I was in town I took this photo of the Christmas decorations in the city center. Everywhere I turn there are people complaining about Christmas decorations and items being out already, but I honestly couldn’t be happier about it. I think here in the Netherlands we are slightly early as well because we [...]

Princess Pixel
Pixel is slowly coming around to her old self. She can now jump onto the sofa, run around looking for treats and torment Bailey now and then. We do try to stop the playing though as her incision has not fully healed yet.
She spent the first two days acting like a little drama queen, and [...]

Let it Snow!
No, unlike some places in Canada at the moment, it is not snowing in the Netherlands! As much as I love the snow, I’m glad… because I’m so not ready for it yet!
I am totally ready to do some Christmas crafting though!
A few months ago I ordered this cross stitch kit from sewandso.co.uk and have [...]
