There are lots of blogs out there telling you what to see and do and about the expat experience in NL. And there are lots of blogs about being a mother in the Netherlands and ones which end up full of photos of weekend breaks in Venice.

Here are our five favourite blogs:

DutchNews.nl
Keeps you up to date with the water cooler conversations.

24 Oranges
Oddball news and pics.

Invading Holland
