Dutch travelog, part 8. Read part 7 here. Our trip was finally nearing the end.Wednesday morning was spent getting ready and packing up, making sure I didn't leave anything behind this time. We left after 10:00. Mozzarella gave us a big hug and even kissed Daniel on the cheek twice, which took him by surprise. The bus ride to the station was embarrassing. I got confused by the stops (turns out the screen wasn't moving), so I panicked and made us get up from our seats. At one point, the bus…
00:53 - My recent foray into graffiti writing got me to finally clean and organize the craft station. I wanna do so much stuff!
Dutch travelog, part 7. Read part 6 here. We decided leave the apartment together with Mozzarella. Thus, he made us a light and delicious veggie omelette for lunch. (I just had a banana for breakfast). View from the living room window. "Father, may I have some lööps oatmeal?" He gave us some tips on how we could spend our day, so we decided to take his advice and do a loop along the canal that encircles the city center of Utrecht. STOPS: The Railway Museum ⇣A quick look Centraal Museum ⇣Miffy…
Dutch travelog, part 6.5. Read part 6 here. We arrived in Utrecht around 19:30. Mozzarella would be hosting us for the next two nights. We were to meet at the station, near his gate. Around 5 minutes later, I spotted him and waved. He smiled widely as he walked towards us and hugged us both. We rode the escalator down to where the bus terminals were. M lives in a quaint neighborhood just outside of the city center; about a 10-minute bus ride away. My cousin lives in a modern high-rise building…
Dutch travelog, part 6. Read part 5.5 here. TIMELINE: Breakfast ⇣Toasties at Café Drie Lopen ⇣Peace Palace Lunch ⇣Udon time Snack ⇣Best ice cream I've ever had and more! Art walk ⇣More inflatable street art Monday was my last day in Den Haag (or so I thought—to be revealed in part... 8!), and we got to spend the day with Han. She likes to try new places, so we met at the station and took the train to the neighborhood of Bloemenbuurt-Oost, which is closer to the beach*. * We never made it out…
20:02 - Pre-jam pizza night. I think we should just get three pizzas next time.
14:17 - Slowly moving wall decor from the office to here.
Monthly reflection and outlook. June was fun (and hot).I kicked off June in vacation mode: planning, prepping, and eventually traveling. Let's reflect. + Going to the Netherlands. I visited Den Haag and Delft, two cities I hadn't been to. It was also nice revisiting the cities I have been to with Daniel. We have friends there now, so we will definitely be returning. I'm still blogging about my trip, which you can read about here. Hanging out with my cousin again after 7(?) years. It was great…
17:37 - Finally found the perfect frame for this portrait of lil' ol' me! Now Daniel needs to get his done so we can have a matching set. (He didn't want to get his old-timey photo taken that time.)
Part of my cookie series. This is for May. Read about the introduction and idea of this project in the inaugural post. I baked these for our IRANIAN DINNER & MOVIE NIGHT and they were specifically requested by V as her birthday cookie. I've done this flavor before but: it didn't turn out like I'd hoped I never documented it So here it is. May flavor of the month: MATCHA WHITE CHOCOLATE Trial #1 The Grinch that stole cookie The first time I baked these cookies was for Christmas 2025. What…
