Okay, today I’m going to write about something that a lot of people will recognize (or not). My fear of spiders!! I know it’s so silly to be scared of spiders, but I can’t help it! Ever since I can remember I was scared of them. It probably didn’t help that my sister thought it … Continue reading Itsy Bitsy Spider

Dealing with back pain
Since I was about 8 years old I had therapy for my back. I did this until I was 13 -14 years old. I should have kept up with it, but you know being a teenager doesn’t really help. If I knew back then how much it would help me later in life, I maybe … Continue reading Dealing with back pain
Japan, the trip that didn’t happen (yet!)
In 2020 we planned a trip to Japan. The plan was to leave on the 1st of April to Osaka and hopefully experience the Sakura Season. This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and finally it was about to happen!!! Yes! A few more weeks to go and … Continue reading Japan, the trip that didn’t happen (yet!)
A night out in your 40’s
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
Travel with Us
I like learning new things and get really excited about it. For hours, days, even weeks I can focus on this new thing and not wanting to do anything else. When I made the shorts, bag and purse, I sewed for 3 evenings straight until it was finished, and I actually felt a bit sad … Continue reading Travel with Us
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
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
