STARS, STRIPES & MAYONNAISE

Welcome to my blog! Here you'll find some of the adventures of our family as we moved from the USA to the UK to Ireland and on to the Netherlands. What's up with the name you ask? Well as we're 1/2 American & 1/2 Dutch and, if you know one thing about the Dutch, they love mayo! Watch “Pulp Fiction” if you still don't get it. ;)

Speeltuin ‘T Kwekkeltje, Rosmalen

Today the kids and I visited a local playground and it was great. A good mix for small and big kids … Loads to climb, swings, sand and water. I loved it was smoke free and free to get in. We’ll be back for sure!!!

Thankfully no one ended up in the water!!

Stars Stripes and Mayonnaise

Stars Stripes and Mayonnaise

I'm an American living in the Netherlands. I enjoy snapping photos, collecting passport stamps & blogging about our family’s journey since we moved abroad over 10 years ago. We left Boston and headed to the "big skies" of coastal North Norfolk, UK. Then onto Dublin, Ireland, and now we're here in the beautiful Netherlands. Having lived in Belgium & France prior to having children - I was happy to return abroad and give them a new outlook on life and adventure. When I started this blog, it was a way to capture memories of the kids including THEIR love of mayonnaise, my love of photography, DIY, crafting of Pinterest creations, sea glass hunting, cooking (especially Asian dishes) exploring new places, and enjoying life with our two amazing kids - all while trying to remain sane. Please note that content, photographs, and images on this site are my own unless otherwise stated.  Pretty please do not repost without my permission. Questions?  Comments?  Ideas?  Winning lottery tickets or riches you'd like to share? Please contact me ;)
