Is it Hamster Time?
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?”
The Next Chapter
I have been undecided about the best time to share this, then I decided that the best time is whenever I feel comfortable. Because I don’t really see a “best time”. After many years of marriage my husband and I have decided to go… Continue Reading “The Next Chapter”
Ya’ll Say Brave, But I’m Really Just Lazy
So a few weeks ago I did a thing. For me it isn’t a big thing, but based on the responses I have gotten since, apparently it is. I cut my hair. Like, really cut my hair. I knew I was going to do… Continue Reading “Ya’ll Say Brave, But I’m Really Just Lazy”
Brasserie Ludiek: Veldhoven
I generally avoid going out to eat with the kids because it just isn’t fun. I spend the entire meal trying to keep them calm and entertained so they don’t annoy everyone. Luckily, though, in the Eindhoven area there is no shortage of nice… Continue Reading “Brasserie Ludiek: Veldhoven”

Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Week 11
Highlight of this week was a mother and son trip to Den Haag. There was a double header that I really wanted to go to and I decided to take my son. Because it started a little late in the evening (5:30! GASP) I… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Week 11”
Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Weeks 8 & 9
So little happened in the world of Roller Derby the last 2 weeks that I couldn’t even justify 2 separate blog posts. I went back to follow up with the surgeon about my finger at the beginning of week 8. It was still hurting… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Weeks 8 & 9”
Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Week 7
Not to much happened with Roller Derby through out the week, actually. My finger is still giving me trouble so my gym time was limited. I did go back to Power Yoga on Monday night. The instructor was able to show me some modifications… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Week 7”
Roller Derby: Fresh Meat,Week 6
I’m back! Last week I was forced to take a break from Roller Derby (and just about everything else) because of an injury. It was a rough week, I’m generally a very active person and I had a hard time at the sudden stillness.… Continue Reading “Roller Derby: Fresh Meat,Week 6”
