Chvrches at TivoliVredenburg

There’s something about seeing an artist live that gets my heart racing. It’s about feeling the music. The vibrations flow out from the speakers and vibrate through the audience. And in that moment it’s you and the band. The rest of the world doesn’t matter because all you can hear is the music. We haven’t been fans of Chvrches for too long. I discovered them after moving to The Netherlands. I had been searching for upbeat music to listen to…

Autumn Apple Picking at Olmenhorst

Autumn is the time of harvest and in America we celebrate Thanksgiving. This is a time for being thankful for what we have and treasure the fruit of our labor. Well if you’re like we are, then you don’t have much space for an apple tree! So instead…

Oosterpark Autumn Stroll

We had a few things to do in Amsterdam this weekend so we decided to drop by Oosterpark to get away from the city crowds. Autumn in The Netherlands is such a beautiful time. The colors are vibrant and the scents are strong. There’s a distinct nip in the air and everything feels more mysterious. We’ve never been to Oosterpark before but it’s the same as any other large park in The Netherlands. It’s roomy, beautiful, and filled with both art…

We don’t like to buy excess because we have no place to put everything. So this year we only bought a few more things to bring out for Halloween. Now is the perfect time to share! Our main decorations, those fun Nightmare Before Christmas…
