Blogging Anniversary #3

Wow, where does the time go?  Did you know this is my 3rd year of blogging?  I almost forgot!  Turns out, back in October my blog turned 3!

Just like life, blogging has an interesting way of taking different paths over time.  Especially a random blog like mine.  At times I am more focused on activities around the city where I live, other times health & fitness, and even a book review here or there.  Lately I have very little time to consistently post, unlike last year.  And I seem to often be blogging about being a parent, something I tried to veer away from in the past.
 

But with this new blogging year, changes are coming.  There's a lot going on in our personal lives.  Things I would like to post but have to wait for the right timing.  So until I can share these ideas & plans, you're just going to have to take the blog for what it is and has been.  And to help you do that, here are a few of my favorite posts from the past year:

MISSING MARKET

SNAIL STORY

SKID TRAINING

CREATIVE MISSION

ENDOMONDO

FEEL GOOD MARKET

WISHFUL THINKING

POLYVORE OUTFITS

Bye! Dag! Adios! Namaste!

Blogging Anniversary #2

Wow, it's been 2 years since I let you all into the quirky world of Danica's Thoughts!!  Like any blog there have been ups and downs... times when I managed to pop out 20 posts in a month (October 2012) and even times when I considered ending the blog.  You have seen my huge collection of Wordless Wednesdays (75 and counting) and you have read my endless comparisons of The States versus The Netherlands.  Who knows what comes next, but as of now, I am still happy sharing my journey through life with you and showing you how normal & abnormal living abroad can be.  That's just it, my blog is random, I don't focus on being an expat, a woman, or a mom, I talk about many aspects of a life.  I appreciate you peaking into my world, and letting me into yours.  No matter the walk of life, we all have something to share! 
 

Here's a look back at some of my favorite posts :)

MY CROCS - it all started here!

AMMYY.COM SCAM - exposing scammers

STICKER GRAFFITI - love the art around town

PUPPY CLASS - good idea gone bad

GLOW OFF. - fun project with friends

RYAN AIR - getting ripped off by an airline

These are just a handful of posts from 2011 & 2012, so far there have been 302 posts since I started this blog!!!

6th Anniversary

It's hard to believe it's been 6 years today since my husband and I married.  I still remember the day vividly.  Getting ready separately that morning, him not seeing me in my dress until I walked into the chapel, the smiles we couldn't wipe off our faces, the tears of family & friends, the mix of American & Dutch traditions, the beautiful reception & dinner, the 5 tiered cake, the great gifts, accidentally deleting the wedding video... it was one of the best days of my life.  Funnily enough my husband & I often forget about our anniversary, we tend to count the years together (almost 11) rather than the years married.  But that doesn't make the day any less special, it was everything a girl could have dreamed of.  (And to think I wanted to run off and elope!)  My husband has made all of my dreams come true.  Thanks babe, I love you!  And also a special thanks to all of the family that pulled together to help make the event possible, even if some were unable to attend!
