Guess Who's Back…
Back again. Sara Louise is back. Tell your friends. (I just ganked Eminem’s lyrics a bit there) Yes my peeps I’ve returned to the wonderful world of Internet. In a very un-French like way, my wifi has been hooked up much earlier than expected. A wonderful surprise (French Yeah!) after a week of hell that…

I'm Too Old For This
It was Brother-In-Law’s birthday over the weekend and guess what he wanted to do… Dinner in Avignon? Nope. Nightclub in Aix en Provence? Nope. Party in the woods, outside Le Petit Village? Yep. Um, OK. Do I have to go? Yep. I don’t really have much to say about being at a party in the…

Kitchen Closed, Bar Open
How hard is it to get a meal on a Friday night? Friday nights, I don’t really like to cook. Not sure why, just don’t. The Husband usually takes pity on me and we go out. But last Friday, France was playing Uruguay in the World Cup, and even though The Husband is a rugby…

Back in the U.S.A.
The Boyfriend and I are venturing out of Le Petit Village and headed stateside to visit my father in the Berkshires and some friends in New York. This is The Boyfriend’s first trip to the States and I’m so excited to show him around, catch up with friends and family and spend a week surrounded…

They Make Curtains
As much as I love my cozy little abode with it’s large spiral staircase smack dab in the middle of the living room, I covet the house next door. It’s old, but not too old, probably about one hundred years. So not old enough to give me the heebie jeebies if I was lucky enough…

I Caught A Fish This Big…
Last night, we were driving home from dinner in St Michel. The road is always dark without any lights, with thick trees on both sides, almost like you are driving through a forest (actually I think it may be a forest). We were laughing about something when suddenly… “What is that?” A huge wild boar…

Birthday Weekend Part 2
One of the most difficult things about moving to Le Petit Village was leaving my family. I have an amazing family, love my family. And I’m not talking about just the nuclear, I love my entire family, the whole kit and kaboodle; aunts, uncles, their spouses, and dozens upon dozens of cousins. We’re tight like…

The Birthday Weekend Part 1
I like to stretch out my birthday as long as possible, and have a birthweek because it only comes once a year (except once, I did have a 30.5 birthday party in August). So since it’s still my birthweek, I’ve decided to tell you about my weekend in two parts to help stretch it out.…

Should Have Bought The Dyson
I wanted this… image: http://www.dyson.fr I got this… I begged for the Dyson but The Boyfriend wouldn’t hear it, “€3oo?! For a vaccuum?” “Yes, but it’s worth it. They last forever and nothing cleans like a Dyson.” This is the conversation we had in July when I was visiting Le Petit Village before moving. We…

Fondue… Gooey Christmas Goodness
Before we left Le Petit Village to celebrate Christmas with French Mommy and French Nana, we had to have a little party with our Le Petit Village posse. And Honey Jr kindly offered to throw one. A fondue party! I love fondue! What’s not to love about pots of melted cheese that you dip bread…
