Expat, Mom, gym rat and pinterest junky. Momming it up and trying to keep my sanity.
So I think we can all agree that this is a weird Christmas. No Christmas markets, no ice skating, no dinners with friends and family, just an impending sense of guilt and doom. I would like to offer a suggestion to help salvage this… Continue Reading “Is it Hamster Time?”
Hullie was never my favorite place to take my kids. I know that everyone has different tastes and that just because I don’t like a place doesn’t mean that it isn’t someone else’s favorite. Not that I don’t like Hullie, but to be fair… Continue Reading “Hullie Speelboerderij: Uden (Updated)”
It’s official, the weather has turned nasty. Remember those bright sunny days when all you wanted to do is go outside? I know, I barley do as well, it feels like ages ago (when in fact it was like, what, last month?). This time… Continue Reading “Rainy Days and Cross Word Puzzles”
The fall break starts in 2 days for most kids in North Brabant. That means a whole week entertaining the kids. Luckily there is no shortage of activities and places to let them run off their energy. Within the center of Eindhoven the… Continue Reading “Herfstvakantie: 2018”

Gouden Woud: Liempde is a cool place for indoor and outdoor fun. We spent a great afternoon there last week. At first glance it’s not all that exciting, honestly. There are bigger play places around. I knew my kids would have fun, but they… Continue Reading “Gouden Woud: Liempde”
So something a little bit different. My kids and I built a snail village a few weeks ago and it has been an amazing learning experience for them. I know, I know, I’m odd. I accept that. It happened on Mothers Day. It had… Continue Reading “Building a Snail Village”
Sterren Strand: Eersel is a water park located on a camp ground. My kids call it the “indoor beach” because that’s how it feels. It is a shallow pool with sand and things to climb on. Although my kids have always focused almost completely… Continue Reading “Sterren Strand: Eersel”
I rarely come across a place that I know we have to have year passes for but Billy Bird: Hemelrijk is one of them. We also have year passes for Dierenrijk: Nuenen, Toverland Amusement Park, and Ballorig: Veldhoven. Seems like a lot but they… Continue Reading “Billy Bird: Hemelrijk”
