Something About Me
- Jenn in Holland
- The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.
The saga continues like this: A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.
This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
I welcome you warmly.

I like the shot of the clogs and also love your caption.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a pair just like that. I was convinced that if I tried hard enough I'd manage to squeeze my huge plates of meat into them - no such luck.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Great shot Jenn, I was given a pair when I was young.. They aren't exactly comfortable! Happy WT/WW
ReplyDeleteSo much fun to click over to The Netherlands to see something typical! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteNothing could be more Dutch than those clogs. Cool shot.
ReplyDeleteDude, you always have the coolest photo ideas. (And yes, I just called you "dude.") Fantastic photo, as usual. I bow down to your brilliance.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. These shoes are beautiful. Do they feel good, too?
ReplyDeleteLove the clogs and what a fun shot!!
ReplyDeleteDang it! My woordenboek won't give me the proper spelling for "klompen." You tell me - am I even close?
ReplyDeleteI remember passing market stalls like that in Amsterdam.
ReplyDeleteI have fuzzy slipper clogs from Amsterdam! Can't wait to get the real things...neat picture!
ReplyDeleteAh, reminds me of the town where I grew up, all tulips and windmills and wooden shoes ;). Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love clogs. I'd never wear them, but they're so fun artistically and decoratively. I got my mom some of those slipper clogs last year and she loves them.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Jenn. And I love your captions each week.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot - very Dutch!
ReplyDeleteI love it!
Great shot of the dutch shoes.
ReplyDeletegreat shot. I live in the netherlands also...so..i know that typical "shoes"
ReplyDeleteMy WW in here : in here and here Thanks
I used that once, long time ago
ReplyDeleteMine : in here. Thanks
That's a GREAT photo!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a pair for myself...
Yesterday I was in Zeeland and I actually saw a guy walking in "klompen". Never seen them in true use.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I wonder if they're comfortable?
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Lovely shot.

They look so pretty but I can't imagine they are very comfortable. I have go to the Netherlands, see tulips and windmills, buy clogs on list of must do while living in Germany. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love it! Is it really typical?
ReplyDeleteSo are the wooden shoes like laderhausen (or however you spell it) do people really wear them? They look as if they'd be more comfortable without a pointed toe.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think of The Netherlands, I think of wooden shoes!! Nice.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute clogs. They would make a nice keepsake.
ReplyDeleteWell... it's probably easier to get off those shoes! :)
ReplyDeleteAre they really made of wood? I should think that would not be terribly comfy, but then again you'd never fear stubbing your toe in those! Also, I love the marigolds in your header!

My grandma had a pair of clogs very much like those. They fit me when I was three. I wonder what happened to them...
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, my grandma was Irish.
I'd love to just try them on and click around in them. Very cute shoes.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute too!! Happy WW!
