Before we left the states, everyone was sort of warning us how completely different it would be here, and wishing us luck and stuff. While, yes, it is different here, it’s not a huge adjustment, and I must say that we. Are. Loving it! That said…dear Halloween, I miss you. Halloween isn’t really a holiday […]...
Today, lots of kids around the world are headed back to school. Some may have started a little earlier, and some are probably still enjoying the last days of summer, but back to school is definitely in the air. The kids here in southern Nederland, where we’re currently staying, started back on Monday. There’s a […]...
Today, the Hubster and I are celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary! I fell in love with my husband the first time I saw him. I know…cliche, right? I don’t even care. Tis truth. Wanna know about the proposal? It’s a short story. We had been hanging out with several friends at a local bar earlier […]...
Did you know that today is Ron Weasley’s birthday? Did you also know that Ron is my favorite character of the Trio? He is. I love him. He is my Wheezey. No, he’s not perfect. Yes, he can be a bit spoiled and out of touch, but he’s also funny, adorable, and more loyal than […]...

On Wednesday, I got a little “express” shipment of some of our household goods. Primarily the shipment contained kitchen gear. It more or less had our entire kitchen contained in it. I’m sure you can imagine my excitement, I’m not sure if I can describe to you the feeling of being reunited with the stuff […]...
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens… I decided that it was only appropriate that I celebrate the winner of my favorite things giveaway with a cake based on “My Favorite Things,” the song. You know, the one that Maria (Julie Andrews) sings to the Von Trapp children […]...
I’m posting on a Sunday. This is totally weird. It’s like I’m in the Twilight Zone or something, except in color, and with baked goods instead of, like, scary aliens or murderous dollies. Several weeks ago, as I was perusing Pinterest for nothing in particular, I came across this gorgeous photograph of flowers laid out […]...
Did you know that 45 years ago, today, the very first episode of Star Trek aired on NBC? Did you know that it was cancelled after three seasons? Only to be become a cult classic in the 70′s? No wonder I like it. If I had been alive in the 60′s, I totally would have […]...
