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…
Beer Yoga in the Park
What happens when you put two gym rats in the park with beer? Beer yoga. It’s something you never knew you needed until its there and then it completes you. So a bit of background: My dear friend Marta and I used to go…
Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Weeks 13 & 14
I’m combining 2 weeks again because I had to miss week 13’s practice. Super sad! A friend of mine and I always go to Amsterdam for International Pillow Fight Day and we have recently started spending that night away (since the kids have gotten…
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…
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…

Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, Week 5
The Injury. Last week after practice my finger started to hurt, not bad enough to impact my beer holding but enough to be noticeable. I honestly thought that it would be a bit sore in the morning but I wasn’t worried. Man, did I…
Roller Derby: Fresh Meat, week 2
I learned a few things after Sundays practice. I really thought I had been working my core at the gym but obviously not enough. I hurt across my lower stomach and lower back. I have tried to rearrange my gym time to focus more…
Roller Derby: New Year New Challenges. Fresh Meat. Week 1
I have been spending quit a lot of time at the gym recently and I love it. Unfortunately I realised that I was beginning to focus on the wrong things. This little patch of fat just below my butt. That tire I can’t seem…
Speelpark de Splinter: Eindhoven
There are many reasons I love living in The Netherlands. At the top of this list is the parks. The Dutch are very good at parks! Speelpark de Splinter in Eondhoven, North Brabant is one of the biggest and has the most diverse assortment…
