Expat, Mom, gym rat and pinterest junky. Momming it up and trying to keep my sanity.
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”
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”
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 have a real love hate relationship with Vossenberg. First let… Continue Reading “Vossenberg Speelboerderij: Tilburg”
I haven’t let the kids help me cook in ages. Well, they help me cook all the time but I haven’t made it an organised event with kid friendly food in ages. I need to start that again. Sheer laziness is probably the reason… Continue Reading “Tofu Springrolls: Cooking With The Kids”
Every spring a goat farm in Veldhoven opens it’s doors for a few Sundays of goat feeding fun. The new little babies have been born and this is your opportunity to cuddle up with a baby goat and feed it from a bottle, and… Continue Reading “Kijkdagen, Gietenboerke: Oerle”
My family calls Aardbeienhof: Gemert “Strawberry Land” because it is a celebration of all things strawberry. Aarbeienhoff is a really unique play place with lots of things to do. There is an indoor and outdoor play area and strawberry picking. In the summer there… Continue Reading “Aardbeienhof: Gemert”
