With the new year frenzy at work, cooking at home, and staying active over the holidays, I haven’t had as much time for blogging. So I decided to switch my monthly trend post to a seasonal post! This still gives…
What I loved this month: October 2021 edition
I can’t believe I’m already writing my monthly post. October felt like it came & went, but in a good way – it’s one of my favorite months of the year. I watched the leaves change in Amsterdam, and we…
What I loved this month: September 2021 edition
For as slow as August was, September has felt like a whirlwind. Work has picked up, the weather has cooled down, and life seems to be flying by. It’s officially fall – and I finally feel ready for it. Fall…

Last year, I noticed how my desire to accomplish things can prevent me from living in the moment. My goal for for 2021 was to be more present, so one of the reasons I love writing these monthly posts is the…
What I loved this month: July 2021 edition
I’m honestly still not sure what having a “hot girl summer” means. But one thing I AM sure about? July was the best month I’ve had in a long time. We’re finally feeling settled in Amsterdam, partly because we’ve started…

What I loved this month: February 2021 edition
I can’t believe we’re heading into the home stretch of the first quarter of 2021. On one hand, I’m grateful for the hints of spring & sunshine we’re having in Amsterdam. On the other hand, this month I was constantly…
What I loved this month: January 2021 edition
Only a couple of life updates this month, since we’re unfortunately still in lockdown. The Netherlands has been the slowest country in the EU to start vaccinating, which is both frustrating & dissapointing. In addition, the Dutch government recently extended…
