So it has been two weeks since I was here last. It wasn’t the original plan but that is the way it turned out. I am quite sure that it is a good thing. A little more than two weeks ago we flew off to Denmark for a Pesach/ Easter holiday with the family. Because […]
We (almost) always have a choice!
Today I voted. For 18 years already I have had the right to vote and I have to admit that every time it moves me to be able to do so. This blog, however, is not about politics, but the elections and the voting got me thinking about all the choices that we have in […]
20 Things that I am Thankful for
I claim that everything looks better when looked at from a positive point of view! So why is it that we (I!) often tend to focus on the things that are not exactly how we want them to be or on the things that we don’t have? Let’s be better at appreciating the good things […]
Why Small Changes are good Changes
I am a big fan of small changes. Small changes are great because they are exactly that, small! Big changes takes a lot of effort and because of that, we often give up on them, long before they even have a chance of making something of themselves. Small changes have a greater chance of becoming […]
I have a dream. Do you?
“Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.” (Benjamin Franklin) The more I realize that money is not where we find our true happiness, the more I dream of a life where they are not […]
4 questions that will help you reach that goal you always wanted!
We are still in January, the month of new goals and wishes for the New Year. Did you make some? If you remember I made myself a list of things I would like to achieve or change this year. I have to admit that the list was on the light side – I have other […]
Why do we need so many things and why do we think that they will bring us happiness?
A few months back I watched a travel program where they were visiting a family living in an old windmill in Holland. The host of the show asked the family (with 5 kids) how they managed living in such a small space. To this the husband answered that you really don’t need more than one […]
Happy Birthday to the blog!
Exactly one year ago today it was with a mix of fear and excitement that I pressed “publish” on my very first blog post and made it known to the world (!) that such a thing as “Veronica’s Budget” now existed! Just so you know, posting that first entry was quite scary. If you would […]
New Year and new resolutions
Today is the last day of 2014. For me personally it has been quite a year. Many up’s and down’s but all in all it has been great and I am excited to see what 2015 has in store for us. I don’t know if I really believe in New Year’s resolutions but on the […]
How to save time and money on a haircut
For years I have been discussing with myself of whether to get bangs or not (I know, first world problems and all that 😉 ) and two months ago I finally got them. I have had bangs before but that was about 20 years ago and if any evidence still exists, it would be better […]
