I am Melanie van den IJssel, a born and raised Maasduinenaar with a heart for stories. For years I wrote columns for the Maasduinen Courant, but now you can find my words here – on my own piece of the internet.
I believe in the power of the small: an unexpected encounter, a silent thought, a smile along the way. With my pen I catch moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Welcome to Snowflakes and Piglets, where little things can be special.
