Whenever the sun makes a surprise appearance, I almost feel obligated to drop whatever I'm doing, run outside and go and sit in the sun. So the weather kind of dictates my plans. Much like my kids…. Does the weather affect your calender?
'Know your numbers!' isn't that what they say? So I decided to get to know my cholesterol number. But now that we're acquainted, I can honestly say I don't like it very much. This is one test I would rather have a low score on. But I got a whopping 7.9. It seems that when...
Some women would love to breastfeed, but are somehow unable to do so. If they really want their baby to have breastmilk they can turn to a Mother's Milk Bank. To let more people know about Mother's Milk Banks it was the topic on a popular Dutch talk show. However, the male host suddenly asked...
I recently ditched All In One Seo and took up with the WordPress SEO plugin by Yoast. I can't even be bothered to tell the All In SEO plugin: 'It's not you, it's me. I'ld like us to stay friends.' Because it ís that plugin, and I don't want to stay friends because I like the...

Usually I carefully check the toilet seat, but sometimes...
I'm not a fan of commercials, but some commercials are tiny works of art. Or at least they're funny. Like this one, featuring a boy and a girl reenacting a scene from the movie Dirty Dancing. It's all very romantic, but then the boy gets distracted by an advert promising a pair of glasses ánd...
I suppose it's one of those things that happens as you grow older. At least in my case: my eyebrows, which used to be quite eyecatching, have grown paler and paler. I want eyebrows like Julianne Margulies At first I didn't care all that much, because I was wearing glasses, and they hid my pale...
