In the midst of moving, the LAST thing I wanted to deal with was two weeks of holiday house guests… even if said “house guests” were my family.
It’s not that I didn’t want to see them… or didn’t miss them like crazy.
After having gone from seeing them all the time to never ever, nothing could [...]
Continued from Part Une…
Ugh! Can you possibly handle MORE Paris?
Well, it’s cold and I haven’t left my house since we returned except to restock the fridge. So, unless you want more posts about shopping at Waitrose, it’s all I got. (Deal)
Voilà, mes amies! More Paris, it is, but just the highlights. I promise.
Eiffel Tower.
I should [...]
This is our second day home from Paris and piles of laundry are being ignored because I am STILL going through all of our photos from our trip…
… all ONE THOUSAND of them. Literally.
Thank goodness for digital. I’ve deleted most of the duplicate/blurry/”someone walked right in front of us” shots, but there’s still way too [...]
Loosely translated: “having a rosy outlook on life”… or so my two years of college French taught me.
My French professor believed that anyone could learn a language. It was just a matter of throwing yourself into it with wild abandon and allowing the little “drawers of your mind to open up”.
(Why do profs always say [...]
As soon as we announced our move to London, the threats requests to stay with us poured in immediately.
I tended to ignore the ones who framed their request as “Oh wow, a FREE place to stay in London” (Not quite. Get a hotel, freeloaders) versus the ones who said, “Oh, how we will miss you [...]

Okay, so I technically wasn’t supposed to take this photo of Queen Elizabeth’s throne at Windsor Castle, but it was right there and I just couldn’t resist a quick, covert snap-snap.
I hope I don’t get sent to the Tower…
This coming Thursday is our wedding anniversary, which I wanted to celebrate with a weekend trip some place stunning, romantic, and fabulous…
Paris? Roma? Milano? Brugge? Any of these would do!
Where did Mike want to go?
Stonehenge.
An hour and a half journey out of London with a toddler in tow to see a pile of rocks in [...]
Saturday afternoon at Greenwich Park, London
As much as I enjoy ranting about our life in London (and you all know that I do…. A LOT), how can I not love it here on a perfect day such as this?
Pick-up cricket matches, children laughing, a book being read on a picnic blanket, and green stretched out [...]
When people discover that we moved to London, their first question is usually about the time difference.
In case you were wondering too, we’re 6 hours ahead of Central Standard and that’s more like the second question. The first actually being, “WHAT????
So anyway about the time difference, but where to begin?
(Wha. Wha. Wha…)
Sorry, couldn’t resist. Anyway, [...]
