itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikinis
We didn’t actually wear itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikinis but that would have been fun. I also don’t know what that has to do with Brazil Day but it’s out there now, so there you go. Honey Jr’s and Brother-in-Law’s, Brazil Day, was held last week in a village even smaller than […]

like sands through the hourglass
++ This is how Papa’s father’s day present was wrapped (Rio Bravo and The Dirty Dozen DVDs if you’d like to know). Try not to be jealous of my superior artistic talents, I’m like Basquiat, Harding, and Warhol all rolled into one. ++ Every morning around 4:00, there is a cat outside my bedroom window […]

party rock is in the house tonight
The Husband’s childhood sweetheart, The Croupier, turned 30 on Saturday and Le Petit Village’s town hall was filled with balloons, banners, friends, and family all for her. In France, celebrations tend to run late in the night. Like L A T E. As in the cake comes out after midnight, and in this case, 2a.m. […]

I'm loving…
++ that somehow, despite inheriting my mother’s black thumb, I’ve managed to keep this orchid that The Husband bought me alive and thriving. ++ that it’s finally warm enough to keep the windows open again. Oh hello fresh air and sunshine, It’s so nice to welcome you into my home (and just in the nick […]

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 […]

The Husband's Birthday: Episode 3
When we last left The Husband’s Birthday, the boys had returned from the bar and one had fallen asleep at the ripe old hour of 7:15, (and got punished for it in the maturest of ways). What I didn’t mention was that one boy was missing, Honey Jr. Where, oh where could Honey Jr be? […]

the wedding in words
Honestly I can’t tell you what the shotguns were all about (The Husband hasn’t been able to come up with a clear answer) but they were fired, and although I was sure the noise would spur Child Bride into labor, the only thing that happened was my head feeling like it had been knocked around […]

shotgun wedding
{the bride and her Papa} It almost didn’t happen, but Brother-in-Law got married on Saturday. Child Bride was rushed to the hospital Thursday and we all thought La Petite was trying to come early so she could attend the wedding too. But thankfully, La Petite was staying put, and Child Bride was told she could […]

It's A Cheese Cheese Cheese World
I’m talking about cheese again. But it’s not my fault. I live in a country with about 400 cheeses. We’re all about the cheese here. This is what happened… Friday morning we awoke to a snowy icy village. Too much snow and ice for The Husband to drive to work (the roads in and out of […]

I Heart Raclette
Let me tell you about my friend Raclette. Raclette is both a cheese and a party and it’s all the rage in Switzerland, France, and probably loads of other countries too (because yeah, it’s that good). See, you take one of these grills… {buy me} And you put slices of Raclette cheese on the little […]
