Alice in Wonderland premiere!
No, we didn’t get to go. We just happened to be in Leicester Square yesterday and saw the crowd. These Johnny Depp fans were great! Edward Sissorhands, Sweeny Todd, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka and The Mad Hatter. Let me just point out that we were there about 1:00 and the premier was sometime in the [...]
A walk through rainy London
First order of business: tea time. None of us had tea for some reason, LOL! I guess we’re out of practice. Well, I know my head was turned by the “gingerbread latte” on the menu. Gosh, this looks like an awful lot of sugar, doesn’t it? Good thing we decided to walk around for a [...]

And drops of a different sort
I saw these in my back garden this weekend. Snowdrops… surely this means spring is near? Daffodils in March and Tulips in April, perhaps? Dear Mother Nature, don’t forget March starts next week. Love from one of your most devoted Springtime fans :-) Three years of recipes in a pretty 3″ binder. This is my [...]
Drip, drip, drop
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz. What sleepy weather. We’ve had light rain all day, so of course I had to bake bread. ;-) We’re going to London on Wednesday–Mr. DJ has to be there at the end of the week for work. Maybe Roxi and I will catch a show, do a little shopping. We’re excited!
TTFN*
If Roxi is going to start gigging on a regular basis, I either need to start lifting weights or get a furniture dolly. This thing is HEAVY! Today, Roxi finally gets to perform the “Freshman Cheer” song that she wrote last fall. It’s Spirit Week at school (Go FRESHMEN, Go ORANGE)! They’ve had a number [...]
Ask an Expat: To market, to market…
I thought you might get a kick out of seeing how I do our grocery shopping here in the Netherlands. And now you can see why I don’t look nearly as cute as those Dutch ladies in my post yesterday ;-) I think I’m too stiff and worried about tipping over because of the ungainly [...]
Wordless Wednesday ~ 31: I am pretty sure I don’t look this cute when I’m on my bike.

Winter is for Daydreaming
I am completely charmed and entranced by all the light snow we’ve been getting the last few days. I find myself looking out my window, watching all of those flakes, tiny and big, floating down. It’s very distracting! I am glad mother nature is limiting her display to about an inch a day. I’m not [...]
Our Snowy Valentine Weekend
We had a couple of inches of snow this weekend. It was so pretty! But we had to stay in–lots of homework for my girl AND boy. I love the wintry landscape. This is the view from our back balcony. On Saturday, I made chicken fajitas with the works (guacamole, pico de gallo, tortillas). I [...]
