Merry Christmas!
Christmas Eve is almost here for us, so we lit the candle holder our munchkin made at school and want to take a moment to wish you and yours a Christmas filled with light, love and hopefully a miracle… or two!
Beekse Bergen
A few days ago, on a dreary and grey Wednesday morning, we threw some sandwiches and soft drinks into our backpack and drove down South to go ‘on safari” in a place called Beekse Bergen—supposedly the largest wildlife zoo of the Benelux.

Sunny Days and Kiddy Farms
When I stepped outside yesterday morning and felt the sun shining on my face, I told the kid to grab his coat and get into the car—we were off to the children’s farm. Not just to see the animals—though he lives for animals—but they also have a really neat playground where it’s always crowded. Parents sit there and bask in the sun, out of the wind, chilling out while those…
