LOOK WHAT THE POSTIE BROUGHT ME TODAY



My beautiful, kind-hearted friend Monique from the Netherlands sent over this amazing parcel for me. All of the gifts are so gorgeous, I love them.

I was going to be taking my Dad and Mum over to the Netherlands in less than 2 months time, but unfortunately things did not go to plan and as my Dad has complications associated with parkinson's disease he couldn't be insured.

My Dad was born and grew up in the Netherlands and has always wanted to go back and see village he grew up in once more. I cannot tell you how upset we have been about not going as we had been planning and saving for this trip for well over a year now.

Which brings me to Monique's gift, I was planning to spend some time with her when we went over, she is the most amazing talented artist, so as we were no longer going over there, she decided to bring a little bit of Holland to us.

How sweet and thoughtful this girl is.

    Did the kids like the "drop" or is it too salty? I could eat an entire package a day lol!
