A short post today as I felt a bit uninspired the last couple of days and I’m writing this with a terrible headache. Oh, how you’ve got to love getting older. It seemed not that long ago when I could go out, enjoy a few drinks and still be fine the next day. Well, not … Continue reading A night out in your 40’s

Liberation Day – A Dutch celebration
Freedom. It should be a common thing, but unfortunately current affairs prove that it’s not. That’s why I want to tell you about a very important celebration in the Netherlands called: Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day)! A lot of foreigners know about our national holiday: Kings Day, celebrated on April 27th (formerly Queens Day), and many people … Continue reading Liberation Day – A Dutch celebration
My morning work-out
Working out is part of my life. Don’t worry, I’m not an obsessive fitness freak. Although, I was for a few years. In those years I worked out 6-7 days a week for 1 - 1½ hours per day. I was quite obsessive about it, because you know, we think we need to look a … Continue reading My morning work-out
The story of a pair of shorts, a summer bag and a small purse
Who would have thought that I was crafty? Not me! A couple of days ago I was looking for a pair of shorts for the summer, but couldn’t find any that I liked. Too short, too tight, too big, wrong color, etc. So I walked back home and realized I still had an old pair … Continue reading The story of a pair of shorts, a summer bag and a small purse
Friends Fanatic
Last week we bought some really cool ‘Friends’ coasters. Yes, you heard it right: ‘Friends’! It’s our favorite tv series and I honestly can’t remember how often we’ve watched all 10 seasons, but at least 15-20 times. Crazy right?! Paul knows almost all the lines of every episode. Strange hobby, but so much fun. We … Continue reading Friends Fanatic
Just the way you are
Wherever you look you see ‘perfect’ people on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, in magazines, and various other places. I always wonder: ‘Who decided that this is how we should look?’ Does it mean, if we don’t look a certain way, we’re not pretty enough or good enough? When I was 15 (until 35) I believed I … Continue reading Just the way you are
IBS
Ever since I can remember I’ve been having stomach cramps on and off and feeling nauseous. Not too long ago I had a flashback to when I was younger. I saw myself, in the middle of the night in the hallway, curled up on my knees, trying to make the pain go away. This position … Continue reading IBS
A place we call home
We started our travels in cheap hostels and hotels, just because we wanted to save as much money as possible to do fun stuff. It was nice for a while, but we also realized we are not in our 20’s anymore and we enjoy a bit of comfort and quietness! So later that year we … Continue reading A place we call home
It’s my round!
Today is Paul’s birthday, and I couldn’t think of a better post to write than this one! I do not drink a lot of alcohol, because I don’t like how it makes me feel, but every now and then I do enjoy drinking a special beer. My first introduction to craft beer was in 2014. … Continue reading It’s my round!
Writer’s block
The last couple of months have been very chaotic on different fronts. This doesn’t really help with writing. Sometimes I sit down, ready to write, but end up staring at my screen and nothing comes out. It’s not that I do not want to write anything, but I just can’t think of it. Stress or … Continue reading Writer’s block
