If you didn’t already know, I have lived in France periodically for the last 5-6 years of my life. It’s not quite as glamorous as you might think, I still do all the mundane things of life. It doesn’t make it easier knowing that the country I’m in is home to the Eiffel Tower & Louvre Museum. [...]
Happy Monday everyone! I had a super busy, fun, awesome week last week. My son was on vacation from school (yet again…) and we decided it would be too boring to stick around our tiny town. So what did we do? We headed south, to the sun! And it was amazing. When we travel, we [...]
Ya’ll, we’ve been busy! If you didn’t already know, we moved to France on the 24th of December. Yes, you read that right, the day before Christmas. Needless to say, our Christmas looked a little different this year, but you know what? That’s okay. We didn’t have a Christmas tree, or any decorations, or a [...]
You know you travel too much when… You look forward to airline dinners. A 5-hour flight is considered short. When you fly without your kids, it’s a vacation. Even on a red-eye. Your leg workout is squatting in airplane and airport bathrooms. You can take your kid to the bathroom, pee, wash up and change [...]
I still live my life like a college student, in semesters. A month from yesterday I will be on an airplane heading to the states for the summer. Which means I have to pack up my entire house, all my clothes, all my kids clothes, but still leave enough out and available for my husband [...]
A day in the life…. You know, people often think that somehow my life, living in France and all, must be especially glamorous. ”She lives in Paris… ooh it must be so fabulous!” Well, I have news. I don’t live in Paris. And it seems like no matter how much I say that, people assume [...]
Last post of my Cote d’Azur vacation, I promise!! But I just couldn’t resist sharing this perfect little city with you. You might have heard of it, it was most certainly in most tourist books we saw. It is small and not entirely well-known but oh so worth it. I am so glad we took [...]
I have some beautiful pictures for you today! More from my south of France vacation. I am breaking this up into quite a few posts because frankly, it was an awesome vacation and I love sharing these beautiful places. And travel is a big part of my life, so it kinda fits! If you want to catch [...]
At least once or twice a week my husband and I try to do a family day. Something where we can get out of the house, entertain the kids (wear them out for early bedtime) and just enjoy each other. Sometimes these days are movie days spent sipping hot cocoa and watching Kung Fu Panda. [...]
Okay. So I have a foreign experience I want to share with you. Mostly because it’s funny. It’s embarrassing. It is soooo not American. And I thought you might get a good laugh! Last week I went to an appointment here in France. It’s called epilation here, but for us English speakers, it’s just plain [...]
