We live in a house in the countryside. So we have lots of privacy. Looking for a fence But I've been longing for some kind of fence. Our front garden looks out onto the road. And I would like to feel more hidden! However I did nót want once of those cheap looking wooden fences....
Have your ever watched The Walking Dead? It's about a world that has gone to hell in a hand basket. Humanity has changed into zombies. And not the cuddly kind! They want to bite you and eat you up. Luckily there are a few straggly survivors. I've gotten to known them pretty well after watching...
'It should have lots of handy pockets!' That was my number one criterium while searching for a new bag. Finally I found what I thought was the perfect bag. It had the long shoulder strap I was looking for, but most of all: it had lots of pockets. But lately there's been this question nagging...
The Dutch are known for their love of bikes. They don't just ride a bike for sports! It's a form of transportation. One that's very much ingrained in the Dutch culture. Grown-ups ride their bike to work, and children ride their bike to school. Usually without any protection or helmet! Bike helmets are considered as wimpy...

Last week our cat seemed a bit off. He just wasn't his usual, I-only-care-about-me self. And he didn't want to eat, and seemed tired. When he started throwing up we decided to take him to the vet. Just to be sure. That'll be 95 dollars! When we got there, the vet examined him, gave him...
I'm a sucker for floral prints. I just can't help myself. Recently I even found myself eyeing a floral iPad cover. And I don't even háve an iPad. Once I realized flowers are my weak spot, I've been telling myself: 'You don't really like those gardening gloves/ dustpans/bags etc. You only like them because of...
More and more often now, it seems people are opting for an alternative to pricey get-aways. Like Pippa to Kate Middleton, the staycation may not be the real deal, but she’s still just as attractive as her older sister, coming out of nowhere to steal the show. Staycations are hot According to Forbes, the staycation...
When I catch a cold, I know it's going to happen: I can't taste anything. Oh, I'll be able to tell if it's salty, sweet or bitter. But that's a far as it goes. I'll lose the flavor of food. I might as well take a piece of carboard, fry it and put some salt...
