yep, that's about it
The weekend pretty much went down like this: Friday night I wanted pizza… and to any of you who read me way back when, you’re probably saying to yourself; no silly, pizza night in Le Petit Village is Tuesday night, everyone knows that. But what I haven’t told you, is our old pizza man gave…

the raclette that almost wasn't
{La Petite and her Tonton} Now I realize that the holidays have passed what with the Epiphany having gone and occurred and all, but I’m not about to let you get away with not hearing about my New Year’s Eve (although it wasn’t too exciting, so no need to hold on to your hats or…

so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu
(not to you and you and you… but to 2011) Because January is always the dullest of the dull (apologies to you Capricorns and early Aquarians) without much going on (except for this interview featuring me!) I’m taking a look back at what I got up to last year… {pinky & blue} January began in Dublin…

Vicky
This is what The Husband said last night; “Oh, I forgot to tell you, Vicky died.“ This is what I said; “WHAT?!” and “How could you forget to tell me? When, and how?” Followed by; “I need to be alone now.“ HOW COULD HE FORGET TO TELL ME?! So I sat in my living room alone, huffed and puffed a…

I’ve learned something this past Christmas… you can throw around tinsel, hang stockings (which I personally monogrammed, thank you very much) pull Christmas Crackers and watch Elf until the cows come home (in French by the way which is not nearly as funny), but if people don’t have Christmas spirit, they don’t have it, so…

joyeuses fêtes
Well kids it’s that time of the year again… that most wonderful time… Fifty has been cleaned, the presents wrapped, Christmas cookies made, and five hours of Sherlock Holmes audiobooks downloaded for the car. We’re all set to hit the road and head six hours north to beautiful, wintry, Auvergne, and Christmas at French Mommy’s…

The Dark Side of Noël
Here were are again, another year gone and Christmas is only a few days away… that means, it’s time to dust off my old post about the scariness that is Le Père Fouettard, and reveal the sinister side of Christmas in France… (originally titled Nothing Says Christmas Like a Flogging and posted 15th December 2009) …………………………………………………………………………………………………. OK, this…

my favorite Christmas ornament…
… (besides my ceramic, miniature red Starbucks cup) is this Guinness t-shirt beermat and I’m going to tell you why… it commemorates one of my favorite weekends of all time. It started on a Friday. I had taken a half day at work and as I left, I picked up some lunch and headed over to…
