I took a few weeks off from the blog to focus on making a new website for a client (yay!). We’re still isolating for the most part, which sucks when your friends lose a child and you can’t even go over for a hug and support! 😢

Nothing much has … » full post and pics!

The world sure looks nice outside. The snow is disappearing, the temperatures are rising. But we know things are crazy out there. The coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic has brought the whole world to its knees like we’ve never seen before. To bring it to a halt, or at least slow it … » full post and pics!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yesterday it had been one month since my Valentine, I mean Nico, had hip replacement surgery. He’s improving nicely, but it sure is a long process!

Anterior hip replacement surgery

They used the anterior approach. That means they operated from the front. They don’t have to … » full post and pics!

Answers about my back and leg pain!

Marlies WobbenMay 26, 2016About LifeLeave a Comment

Today I had an EMG at the hospital, where they checked my leg / sciatic nerve because of the issues I’ve had. All was well, and it looks like it never was a sciatic nerve issue, but irritation of the piriformis muscle in the same area. What he told me … » full post and pics!

Yesterday our two little girls have been fixed! It was time to spay Penny and Sheldon as they are 6 months old now. It came with a complimentary pedicure, so I tried if they’d take me as well, but for some reason they refused 😉 The operation was in the … » full post and pics!

Little over a week ago, we finally sent in the applications for our work permits. Yes, WE… even though the employer (read: Nico’s contact at the Human Resources department) had said before they would take care of the work permit on their end, it turned out to be a … » full post and pics!

About Wobben.org

Hello! We are Nico and Marlies Wobben!

On The Prairie And Beyond is mostly about our life in Regina, Saskatchewan on the Canadian Prairie, where we live with our five wonderful kitties and go camping a lot with our motorhome. We also love traveling back to the old country (Netherlands) and other places!

Nico is an RN and I (Marlies) have a web design and crafts business Feel The Fire and write on this blog. Until 2019 I combined this with a parttime office job.

We've known each other since the 80s from heavy metal concerts, mostly in Eindhoven, where I am from. We didn't get together until 1993, married in 1996, lived in Heerlen until we moved to Canada in 2008.

We are home! We love the people, the space, nature, the wildlife... our prairie life!

Our Kitties!
