La Veille de Noël
Since my childhood Christmases belonged to New York, I grew up with a traditional winter wonderland holiday. Because of that, I never got fully accustomed to the warm Christmases of Texas or the dark, wet ones of Dublin (although it did snow buckets that one year), but I have to say, waking up to this…

On the Eve of Christmas Eve…
… We said goodbye to our petit sapin de Noël, filled the car with Christmas goodies and headed off towards Toulon to celebrate the holiday with my cousin, Mrs.London. After spending a merry evening the night before with The Honeys, eating Rice Krispy treats (made by me) and pulling off bits of honey nougat (made…

Because We Need A Little Christmas
Here we are, Christmas Eve, Eve… finally! The last few months have been tough and I feel like I’m limping into the holidays a bit but let me tell you something, I AM READY for them! I need some Champagne sparkle and Eggnog fueled laughter in my life. So my friends, even though it is…

w t f
The ‘f’ in today’s title, could mean lots of things, like, ‘Friday’, or ‘freaky’, or ‘Freaky Friday’. It could be ‘firetruck’ (that’s the only word that starts with F and ends with K you’ll see around these parts), or it could even stand for ‘France’, as in What the France?!… an expression that I have…

Behind the Photos X
For today’s Behind the Photos (it’s been ages since I’ve done one of these) I thought we’d travel back in time for a special Christmas edition. We’re going all the way back to 2008, a time when I had blondish hair and bangs. The setting Dublin, all of twenty-seven days after I met Gregory, when…

a good one two
After a Sunday lunch of roast chicken and broccoli and cheese smashed potatoes (which Gregory and I decided were a most excellent way of getting children to eat their broccoli… READ: a most excellent way of getting Gregory to eat his broccoli), we scooted off to watch Honey Jr play le foot aka soccer. Like…

a good one
Only two weekends left until Christmas… I can hardly believe it. Really, it’s too much, and gone way too quickly. This time last year my mother was arriving for her month long visit and I swear, it is so crystal clear in my head, it could have been yesterday. I know I’m going to sound…

baby it's cold outside {giveaway}
One of the things I love about living in Le Petit Village is that we get all four seasons to their fullest; printemps is always bright and chirpy, l’été is gloriously hot, automne is perfectly crisp and hiver, well hiver is freaking freezing. But with all of that freezing cold usually comes snow, and for me,…

Francegiving
Isn’t that a festive turkey? It’s courtesy of Mr.London. When he arrived the day before Francegiving, he had a few hours to kill before Gregory came home so I decided to keep him busy (idle hands and all). I asked him if he would like to help with the table place cards and he happily…

Gregory's Thanksgiving Miracle
I had been planning this year’s Thanksgiving for months. Maybe not ‘planning’ per se, but definitely talking about it. I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the way it had turned out last year and not just the Rudy McRuderude part. It was my first Thanksgiving that I cooked myself and that combined with the fact that…
