The year 2018 started off pretty rough for us, because my husband was stuck in Mexico due to a missing stamp in his Passport and he couldn’t come back into the United States… He missed his daughters birthday and made a lot of people nervous back in the US, but that story is for later. [...]
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 [...]
ORKAAN HARVEY Windsnelheden tot wel honderddertig kilometer per uur, lege schappen in de supermarkten en orkaan Harvey die jouw kant op komt. Voor de Nederlandse Laura Denissen en haar kinderen is het zaterdagochtend lokale tijd, in een buitenwijk van de Texaanse stad San Antonio, afwachten en hopen dat het meevalt. Klik onderstaande link voor het [...]
So little time and so much to do! Let the summer begin and let the stories come...
Everybody in the world knows the brand Harley Davidson and we really started to be curious about it, when we figured out that it all began in Milwaukee!! How lucky are we that it is in our town and we can visit their museum, because this is the only real Harley Davidson museum in the [...]
When I grew up in the Netherlands we were not judged on what to wear to a pool or at the beach when we were kids. My parents let me walk around in only a swim bottom for years and I didn’t even know better. It wasn’t strange and most of my friends (girls) did [...]
“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. We were standing 7 years ago next to each other [...]
When it comes to cold weather, Wisconsin doesn’t mess around. It’s just cruel and unforgiving… But I still give my friends the benefit of the doubt and I will still believe the “summer” is coming. So right now, we are living in the largest city of de State of Wisconsin… Milwaukee. I thought it was [...]
The best part of living in the United States is that you can travel endless and discover the coolest places. A few months ago my daughter and I were invited by our dear friends from Texas to come to Florida! My husband had an away game that weekend, so it was the perfect timing to [...]
Many adventures, many stories and it’s time to catch up. In the last couple of months I have been to Florida, New York, Wisconsin and many other places I still need to write about. So stay tuned
The weather is calmed down a bit and… Oh well…who am I kidding… Not really!! It’s still freezing over here! But the curiosity to discover more “North of the wall” (click here) is still there. My good friend offered me to show me the third largest city in the United States…Chicago, Illinois! The City where [...]
It's time to discover what kind of culture our new place brings. So to start at the beginning... we recently visited the Milwaukee Public Museum. It's a lovely museum. It is very large and even one of the largest natural history museums in the USA. It got a lot of interesting things to see and [...]
The Atlanta Silverbacks season is over and it's time for us to explore a new adventure and a new State. We drove with kid and cat through Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois to eventually reach our destination... Wisconsin! The State of diary! Yeah... the first time I heard about this "adventure" I wasn't that thrilled [...]
We got so many questions of others if we already went to the Georgia Aquarium…(one of the world’s largest) Every time it got more awkward because it’s like THE place to go when you are in Atlanta, Georgia and we didn’t go yet. So we decided to finally go. It was in one word just [...]
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 [...]
It’s only been a few months now since we moved to Atlanta and it brings us all good things. The sun is out and this is the season for us to get outdoors and enjoy all of the amazing things the city has to offer. We have nice weather, made new friends and the club [...]
"Best commercial I have ever sat and walked through"! World of Coca-Cola is one of Atlanta's top tourist attractions. It is downtown Atlanta and is located near by the Atlanta Centennial Olympic Park. I was really surprised what this amazing place offered. It is full with fascinating history and loads of great memorabilia. Coca-Cola is [...]
Legoland; I would recommend it to anyone with kids who enjoy legos! It’s located in the Phipps Plaza mall Midtown Atlanta. Honestly it is a bit small and chaotic, but our daughter loves Legos and had a great time and that's what matters the most. They have a flying ride, a car racing and building [...]
This restaurant is a great concept. I love the fact that you get 360 degree of spectacular panoramic views of Atlanta while eating. The views are absolutely amazing. The glass elevator that is getting you to the top of the hotel is a sensation by itself. The restaurant moves really slow and you only notice [...]
We left New York with a bang and we will never forget our adventure in any way possible. We were in the middle of a process where we had to figure out if we wanted or had to go back to the Netherlands. This country brought us so much joy, so much love, and so [...]
