		<title>Imagine &#8212; a very special toy shop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most special children&#8217;s shops in Amsterdam is without a doubt the toy shop Imagine. This is the place to go if you&#8217;re looking for that special gift for that unique child, that cute present for that sweet baby, that handmade coat for that lovely girl or that stylish haircut for that cool [...]]]></description>

		<title>Artis, an old and beautiful Zoo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One of the oldest zoos in Europe, Artis was opened in 1835 and has a very beautiful old setting with terrific gardens and monumental buildings. Most of the animal lodgings have thankfully been modernised since! There are some fantastic playgrounds, and there&#8217;s a good restaurant, with plenty of high chairs and facilities to heat up [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tokyo Café</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do your children love sushi as much as mine? My daughter is especially crazy for sushi &#8212; she LOVES it&#8230; Including the seaweed salad! She really can’t get enough of it!
Good thing that at Tokyo Café you can eat as much sushi and teppanyaki as you like! Grown-ups pay a fixed price of around 20 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kid&#8217;s shoes from Meys &amp; Co</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
My kiddie shoe shop of choice here in Amsterdam is Meys &#38; Co. I’m picky with shoes for my children&#8211; they need to be strong, durable, cute (but plain), and slightly old-fashioned. I always find something to my taste at Meys &#38; Co!
There&#8217;s a good selection of classic styles mixed with more fashionable footwear, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>MIFFY SHOP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you’re visiting Amsterdam and have little kids, you should definitely step into the Miffy store on the Scheldestraat. Miffy (&#8216;Nijntje&#8217; in Dutch) is the sweet little bunny designed by Dick Bruna in 1955 who quickly became a world famous character.
The wonderful collection of Miffy books, which discuss a large number of topics (amongst which [...]]]></description>

		<title>Burgermeester</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even though they don’t serve French Fries at Burgermeester (Dutch for mayor), they do serve the most delicious burgers! Think burgers with Blonde d&#8217;Aquitaine beef and truffle, lamb with red onion compote, wild duck with Chinese cabbage, salmon with grilled asparagus and lemon mayonnaise&#8230; Or the vegetarian burger with falafel and grilled vegetables &#8212; all of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Re-live the 17th century in Rembrandt&#8217;s House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend we did something unexpectedly fabulous: we took the children to Rembrandt&#8217;s House.  Rembrandt, as you might know, was a very famous Dutch painter who lived from 1607 till 1669.  From 1625 onwards he lived in Amsterdam.  For a big part of his live he was very rich, already well known [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do as the Dutch do, bike on a bakfiets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks to its flat (meaning not hilly) landscape, the Netherlands is the perfect place for getting around on bike.  It&#8217;s also quite safe: bike lanes are virtually everywhere, and drivers are so used to the many bikes around that they take them in careful consideration.  So the &#8216;fiets&#8217; is the preferred means of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Around</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
1) Rent a Bakfiets
A great and very Dutch way to get around Amsterdam is on a bakfiets. They can be rented in numerous places around the city, and your kids will love this way of transportation. There are bike lanes everywhere, and cars are very much accustomed to all the bikes around, so it’s all [...]]]></description>

These supercool stickers are made by Zuuz, and besides the fact that I really like the images of the typical Dutch canal houses, I love the fact that they are so big &#8212; my daughter can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broer&amp;Zus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Broer&#38;Zus is a wonderful kid&#8217;s clothing shop here in Amsterdam that definitely comes recommended!  They stocks a great selection of fantastic brands, which makes the shop irresistible to start with. But the best part for me is their own label! They have some great pieces for babies and little people, of great quality and lovely colours.
Their knitted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amsterdam lamps from Hartendief</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Look how lovely this pendant lampshade is&#8230;  It&#8217;s very typical Amsterdam with its cute canal houses!  The scene you see on this lamp is called &#8216;Jordaan&#8217;, named after the picturesque neighbourhood in the centre of Amsterdam with its narrow streets, small houses and cute bridges.
Hylkia, the creative brain behind &#8216;Hartendief&#8216;, originally studied fashion design but after the [...]]]></description>

		<title>De Pijp and the Albert Cuypmarket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you&#8217;re in Amsterdam for a bit longer &#8216;de Pijp&#8217; is a neighbourhood that shouldn&#8217;t be missed.  It&#8217;s really up and coming, and the mix between shabby and chic is something that I love!  I&#8217;m not going to describe every single shop I like in de Pijp, but I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll find some treasures browsing the little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bazar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In one of Amsterdam&#8217;s hottest neighbourhoods, de Pijp, you can find Bazar, a restaurant serving Arabic dishes in a middle Eastern atmosphere.  I really like Bazar, mostly for it&#8217;s relaxed atmosphere.  No dressing up, no big prices, nothing fancy but on the other hand super relaxed and kid-friendly.  Mini picnic tables are put next to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shabbies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Shabbies were originally designed in the seventies by Dutch shoe designer Fred de la Bretoniere and are the most comfortable, fashionable and beautiful boots I own. They&#8217;re the perfect mix between nonchalant and chic. Shabby chic!
The colours of the natural leather are seriously amazing, and I really like the fact that they look equally cool [...]]]></description>
