Launched May 7, 2010, Cookies & Clogs has become a valuable resource for parents, both far and near. You will also find first-hand product and travel reviews, special content for those living in and/or visiting the San Francisco Bay Area, homeschooling tips, and much more. We share with you what we wish someone would tell us about what to buy, where to eat, and fun things to do. Reading this blog is like talking to a friend. With a hearty ‘hello’ we welcome you to our site.

The Story Behind The Name
TerriAnn is Chinese and Frans is Dutch. So, to encompass their family’s uniqueness, they decided to use ‘Cookies & Clogs’ as a brand name. Let’s just say that it flowed much better than ‘Chopsticks & Tulips’.
The Authors

You will also find first-hand reviews, special content for those living in and/or visiting the San Francisco Bay Area, and much more.
Frans is the other half of Cookies & Clogs. Born and raised in the Netherlands, he has a broad and unique take on living in the U.S. and raising a family here. He provides a ‘dad’ point-of-view on techie stuff and surviving a house full of estrogen. He also takes care of the IT and backend stuff.
