For years I have the urge to see and maybe even speak to an Amish person. For an unexplainable reason I am intrigued by their live style! Years ago while living in Texas, [...]

Een leuk stukje van Tekstbureau Grenzeloos over mijn leven in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
When my husband is off from soccer training and games we like to drive to Chicago and just walk around and explore the city. These last months were hard because of the intense cold and snow! Wisconsin and Illinois are not known for their warm winter months. But when we are there when it is [...]
Merry Christmas friends and family!! It is a time for remembering, a time to share the goodness of your heart with others, and for expressing with words and gifts what someone means to you. It is a chance to make wishes come true and to give something from your heart. It is a chance to [...]

"Hurricane Harvey was a huge, life-threatening storm. It struck the Central Texas coast (Corpus Christi) last Friday night and brought with it 130 mph winds and several feet of storm surge. Harvey's death toll rose to at least 40 this early Friday morning as floodwaters began to recede in flood-ravaged Houston. Officials fear that now [...]
So little time and so much to do! Let the summer begin and let the stories come...
“Be supportive, be an encourager, dream together, live life together and most important… be the friend that they never had.” Laura Denissen Today is a special day; we look back at 5 different countries, 21 homes, a psycho cat and a beautiful daughter of 4.

You would think I have the luck that my daughter mingles 2 languages in her sentences, but for an unexplainable reason she always speaks perfectly clear English when we are in a public place. She can all of the sudden loudly pointing out some observation or repeats something I or someone else once told her. [...]
We live 15 minutes from a wonderful place called Stone Mountain. The first time we have been there was in May, but we have returned for many times more! There isn’t anything quite like it and because of that I am really impressed by it. The feeling reminds me of 20 years ago when I [...]
'I don't want her to follow my footsteps, I want her to take the path next to me and go further than I could have ever dreamt possible' Since my daughter is born I love to dress her like a " million Dollars". But of course, it doesn's cost that much. It became a [...]
