I have a confession. I don’t like Starbucks. Yep, I said it. I know it’s this huge fad and everyone needs their Starbucks, but I just can’t get on board! Their mixed drinks are horrible (IMO) and their coffee does not taste good. They are easy, I will give you that. If you’re in a [...]
When I was in college, I ordered everything off of eBay. I thought it was the coolest thing, I would bid and keep track of things and sometimes just buy it outright if I wanted it bad enough. I specifically remember my best friend and I bought these hip-hop CDs. What makes this funny is [...]
So most of you know that I am in France right now doing my best to learn the language. If you have ever attempted another language you know it can be super hard and sometimes rather hilarious & even more often embarrassing. There have been quite a few times I have struggled through conversations only [...]
Remember when I was chatting about the difference between FIT and SKINNY? Well, it turns out a lot of people can relate to that post. Which I’m totally glad! I mean, the media often times puts such a different focus on our looks and body types it can be so discouraging for us ‘regular’ women [...]
It’s true. You guys, I’m a hot mess. I wish I wasn’t. I wish so much I didn’t have to write those words. I wish I was good at running my life and my house and being organized and together. But the truth is, I am most certainly not. I am a ‘creative mind,’ as [...]

I get the question a lot whether or not I home school or if my kids go to an American school or if they teach in English at their school. I thought it would be a fun and interesting post to explain our situation. My kids go to French school. Just the regular French public [...]
Fitness. I want to write about fitness. Before you freak out or think that I’m gonna go all Maria Kang on you, let me explain why I want to write about fitness. Because the world is getting fatter and unhealthier day by day with unrealistic expectations of what looks good, what is fit, and what [...]
It’s no secret that Paris is one of my favorite cities in the world. Granted, I haven’t been a ton of places, but enough to know that I absolutely love it. But I love Amsterdam too, so maybe I just love European cities? There’s just some kind of magic to them that we don’t have [...]
So a couple of days ago (last week?) I asked you guys to do a little survey for me. It was really helpful to get insights into what you enjoy or do not enjoy about this little blog of mine. Because even though, yes, I do write it for myself because I enjoy doing it, [...]
