Pâques en Auvergne
This is Clermont-Ferrand. I took the photo from one of those rest stops designed for taking in the scenery. It’s a very special spot for The Husband… years ago, The Husband’s grandfather would drive him back to boarding school on Monday mornings, and they would always stop there and have pains au chocolat for breakfast. It’s…

you think you know … but you have no idea
{my Prince of Monaco} Happy Wednesday after Easter y’all! I know ‘Wednesday after Easter’ isn’t a thing or anything, but it is today, and today is the Wednesday after Easter, so there you go. We arrived home from Auvergne last night, after another too long drive. Today will be spent unpacking (we always come back…

glamorous giveaway
{best phone number ever} Today I woke up in The Husband’s old bedroom, with his old stuffed animals, six hours north of The LPV, in Auvergne. Auvergne isn’t the most glamorous place in the world (especially not right this second as it’s raining buckets), but it is a very beautiful and tranquil one (lots of lush…

pâté day
Pâté making is one of those things I never thought I would do, like ever. Except maybe if I was enrolled in a cooking class or something with my girlfriends, but that would never happen because I’m not really a joiner. So before I moved to Le Petit Village, pâté was only something that I ate, not…

You can find part one here, followed by part…

The Backstory {chapitre deux}
[2009] So when we last left our story (in case you’re only joining us now, the story is the story of how I met The Husband), I had left my coworkers at Dicey Reilly’s and was headed over to my brother’s apartment to have a drink with his girlfriend. We had a glass of wine, chatted…

The Backstory {chapitre un}
[2008] Today is my third wedding anniversary and as it is, I feel like the time has finally come to tell you the story of how The Husband became The Husband, as in, how I met a French boy named Gregory and followed him back to France. I need to warn you though, this won’t…

this weekend
{blossoming spring} Bonjour tout le monde! How are we today? Our Friday morning started off with a bang. Gregory (aka The Husband… for some reason I’m in the mood to use his actual name today) took Fifty for his morning walk and they crossed paths with a German Shepherd also out for his morning walk,…
