Cirque du Soleil in Amstelveen!

I'm sure you're asking yourself if that title is correct. For the past few years Circue du Soleil has passed through Amsterdam, but Amstelveen!?

That's exactly what I thought but got a big surprise when I saw all the fun happening at the Amstelveen Winkle Centrum! They'll have this every day until April 7th!

I think it's really great for all ages (especially with this dreary weather we've been having). There are fun photos on a green screen to make you look like you are juggling or doing something exciting, a small course to practice a few Cirque du Soleil tricks, face painting and live music and parades happening every day at 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00!







It was pretty amazing- the guy on stilts did a full kart wheel and stood in a handstand! The performers are ligit and were super nice and asked to take a photo with my son....sadly he was only interested in trying to tear off her wings! That's my little flirt!

Wait, there's more! According to all the signs I keep seeing, if you add the Winkelcentrum Stadshart Amstelveen on facebook you can win yourself tickets to see the Corteo show! Worth checking out!

*The Amstelveen Winkel Centrum is an indoor type mall accessable by the Tram 5, Metro 51, and bus 170, 172 as well as many others!

Fab find of the week: Bol.com Who knew?

 Bol.com became a well loved website in our home back when I found out that I could order Spanish children's books here in the Netherlands. It made for a great baby shower gift and I even got my son one as well (a translated version of "Good Night Moon", "Buenos Noches Luna")

Now I've discovered that Bol.com has a whole baby section with great deals to boot! We just picked up on this deal of 2 jumbo packs of pampers for 35 Euros! With a little calculating and scoping around for the best deals on pampers, it´s the same price you pay in most of the stores such as AH, Etos, Kruidvats, except you get what would equal one whole package more!




No, I´m not in any way endorsed by Bol.com or Pampers for that matter. I´m just an excited mom happy to have quality products and save a few Euros along the way!
