my furry little angel
This very same weekend a year ago, The Husband and I set out to buy a Christmas tree and decorations. Somehow we found ourselves at the animal rescue center instead. Of course the rest is history. In honor of one year with Fifty, I’m re-posting the very first post I wrote about my furry little angel,…

more language barrier fun
I spent a deliciously lazy Saturday afternoon on the couch, sipping tea and reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest while The Husband watched Reportages on TF1 (it’s kind of like a docu-feature kind of show).

A Thanksgiving Miracle
{first snowfall} A funny thing happened on Thanksgiving… it snowed! There I was, in the middle of my French lesson (with my lovely, patient tutor Sophie), when I looked out the window and saw snow. Holy Thanksgiving miracle! And I felt happy. It was like the Thanksgiving Gods, Chief Massasoit and Pilgrim Winslow, perched at their…

Talking Turkey
Today will be my seventh Thanksgiving outside of the U.S.I love Thanksgiving. Of all the holidays, I love it the most. It’s the warmest, happiest, fuzziest, fun time.

And I probably sound like Balki from Perfect Strangers, but in French, but who cares, it’s happening. Some conversations are easier than others… like when…

them's fighting words
Saturday afternoons are Fifty’s favorite time of the week. He gets to run around outside and play with his BFF, Honey Jr, and The Husband.(I also love this time, I get some quiet, and The Husband gets a little cardio). Fifty was happily chasing the football when Le Petite Notre Dame’s bells rang out. Church…
