Happy 2013

Wishing you all the best in 2013! Looking forward to new adventures this year, both online and offline, and sharing them with you. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but if I did, blogging more frequently would certainly be one of them.

tschüss 2012!

Remember what I wrote last year? About how 2011 was a rollercoaster ride? And how I thought I’d never be able to match it again? On some levels, I won’t be able to match it again, that’s true. However, 2012 proved to be one rollercoaster ride as well. I cherish a lot of precious moments…

Hoppy Holidays

Initially, when the hubby talked about putting up a Christmas tree, I wasn’t too fond about it. Christmas used to be my favorite holiday (by far!), but ever since Mickey passed away on Christmas Day 2008, I wasn’t feeling up for it. This year marks the first Christmas we’re spending in our own home and…

Balthazar

Earlier this year we had a dinner at Balthazar. It’s a cafe annex bistro located in the city center of Kortrijk. I love the way they decorated the place, it’s quite cozy, thanks to the use of dark hues and wood. It has a great menu offering a variety of dishes that could be found…

I was impressed with the…

100% Cotton

Yesterday we celebrated our cotton wedding anniversary (or paper anniversary, as one would say in the U.S. or U.K.). We opted to stay in, sip some champagne and have a nice, candlelit dinner (topped off by a chocolate overdose!). You know, just the two of us. Honestly, I couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate…

Pumpkin galore

When my dad brought two 30-pound pumpkins into our house, I could not help but browsing the internet for recipes including pumpkin. Not long after, I decided to serve a pumpkin-inspired menu on Halloween night. The hubby and I opted to stay in, have dinner and watch a scary movie. Pumpkin soup and pie were…

Happy Halloween

When looking back at the last couple of years, I’ve noticed that I tend to celebrate Halloween a tad bit more every year. This year we watched the local Halloween parade (it actually sounds fancier than it is), had a pumpkin-inspired dinner (more on that later this week) and a Halloween-themed movie night. Part of…

Put that record on

Fall traditionally brings us new tunes. The haul this year has been quite impressive and there’s still two months to go in 2012. I’ve had these three albums on repeat for the last couple of weeks. I already can’t wait for more new albums to be released but for now, The Van Jets’ Halo has…
