and so it begins
How do I know that spring has officially sprung? These pretty little flowers have sprouted, and the first camping car has been spotted. Let the 2012 tourist season begin! (that was said in my Hunger Games voice by the way) bisou

one year of sweetness
La Petite came into this world at the perfect time for me; she was born the day after my father passed away. Returning to Le Petit Village after my father’s funeral to this sweet little bundle definitely helped the healing process and reminded me that life is a circle that keeps on spinning. Happy birthday baby…

bully
Today we’re talking about bullying. (My friends Sarah and Samantha have recently blogged about this also, but I feel that with a topic this important, the more that the word spreads, the better.) This is what’s happening in a nutshell…. A film that documents the epidemic of bullying in schools has been made, it’s called Bully. Unfortunately, due to…

my green heart
{get off me} Disclaimer: this is a day late, I should have written this yesterday but I was too busy enjoying the day. Apologies. On the 17th March, 461, not yet Saint, Patrick died. Five hundred years later, people in Ireland began observing the Roman Catholic feast day of St. Patrick, but more importantly (to…

s.n.a.f.u.
{my glasses and me in happier times} It was Saturday morning. I was standing in H&M, shopping with Aidan, when I reached for my glasses, best to put them on in case we got separated in the store (people become furry blurry when they are more than twenty feet away from me), but they weren’t…

There was lunch for 70 people (that’s a…

escape to Aix
{happy girl} Do you see this smiling face? Aidan is smiling because she managed to escape to Aix-en-Provence sans husband, children, and dog to meet up with the girls (not an easy feat let me tell you), and since it’s not often that we get to see each other without husbands, children, and dogs, we decided…

Indulge me please} Age: thirty-something.Bedsize: queen.Chores that you hate: making the bed (but I hate not having the bed made…

waiting for spring
Because I am still icky (like icky icky, red gooey eyes icky) and don’t have the energy for much of anything, I’m posting this snippet that I wrote for Misadventures with Andi about this same time last year. And since it’s never been posted over here, it’s kinda new, and kinda not cheating {originally posted…

"we've got a blogger down, I repeat, a blogger is down"
What I feared would happen, has happened. My wonderful Florence Nightingale performance with The Husband has left me with la grippe. But, France is in the middle of a flu epidemic after all, so maybe I was bound to get it. So here I am, in bed, with a cup of tea (which of course I had to…
It's Me, Sara Louise
