Valentine’s Day Decorations

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’ve begun decorating the house with some Valentine’s Day decorations. That meant I finally had to get rid of the Christmas decorations… Bye, bye Christmas tree… Hello, teddy bears, candles and roses.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! After fumbling for half an hour, I finally managed to take a picture of my two cats, Snoebels and Teigetje, in front of the Christmas tree.

The nightmare called driver’s license

I decided to get a bit more personal today and write about the nightmare that has been tormenting me for the past seven years. A driver’s license. I know it sounds crazy, but bear with me, please.
