(Early) Kitchen-y Christmas

I love getting mail. Well, FUN mail...not bill mail. Who likes bill mail? Not I! While I was stateside, I managed to buy a lot of stuff which wouldn't fit in my suitcase allowance..hey, what can I say..I go for gusto.

Lazy Sunday

Well, it's definitely a chilly Sunday. When it's this chilly (and windy) I don't really have desire to go anywhere or really do anything...well, anything super productive, that is.

Alrighty...I've had Piper for...hmmm.... just a smidge over two months now. This little fluff ball is pretty spoiled, not even gonna lie. She's pretty traveled since I take her everywhere with me due to her very social personality; she's never barked at someone while we've been out & about and...

Winter Cleaning

I'm sure you've heard the phrase, "There's no place like home". That's what I kept in mind while I was in California for two months. Don't get me wrong, I loved visiting all of my friends and family there, but I really missed being in Belgium and in MY house. My bed, my office, my kitchen. my stuff...mine...

My sickness....has returned....

Ahhhhh...this that time of year when the Christmas markets around Europe return! When the Christmas markets pop up, that means I'm able to get some pretty bitchin' blown glass ornaments for my tree.  Today was the opening day for Aachens WeihnachtsMarkt (here's posts from the FIRST and SECOND time...
