Le Petit Village: The Family Tree
Here’s it is! I have finally put together the Le Petit Village family tree to show how everyone here is related to everyone else because with the exception of a few, they (and now me) all are… ♫WE ARE FAMILY♫ . . . . . . . . . . N O T E S Not…

you think you know … but you have no idea
{my Prince of Monaco} Happy Wednesday after Easter y’all! I know ‘Wednesday after Easter’ isn’t a thing or anything, but it is today, and today is the Wednesday after Easter, so there you go. We arrived home from Auvergne last night, after another too long drive. Today will be spent unpacking (we always come back…

the long weekend
Last weekend was a long one here. La Fête Nationale (Bastille Day to you and me) was Thursday and The Husband had Friday off too. Extra long weekends mean a trip to Auvergne to see French Mommy. It went a little something like this: Thursday… 5am; time to hit the road because no traffic is awesomesauce.… finding Vitamin Water…

tourner à droite numbnuts
Numbnuts. The Husband called me numbnuts on our drive to French Mommy’s house. I don’t remember why, or what I did, but it was like Mozart to my ears to hear one of my favorite words come out of The Husband’s mouth, French accent and all. But then a little later, he turned out to…

the art of relaxation
After the usual horrible drive (but bonus… Fifty only threw up once) we got to French Mommy’s a little after 10pm. A double cheek kiss, a bite to eat, and straight to bed we went (driving with Fifty is a very tiresome experience). Around midnight I woke up to someone shouting, in French. French Nana…

Saved by French Mommy
You know how I wasn’t super excited about going to Brother-in-Law’s Halloween party? Well now I don’t have to… French Mommy has come to the rescue (sort of). The Husband remembered that he has next Monday off of work and the three day weekend is the perfect (and only) opportunity for us to visit French Mommy…

4 Days At French Mommy's : A Photo Review
{La Bourboule} We left Le Petit Village at 9am. Under normal circumstances we would arrive in La Bourboule right around 3pm. But circumstances are never normal; it took us two hours to reach Avignon. Two hours! We normally make it there in under an hour. The abnormal culprit… {I hate cars} Fifty threw up twice before we…

Holiday Highlights
La Bourboule… try and say it I dare you! It feels funny and makes your lips and tongue do something pretty strange, something American mouths are not used to doing. French mouths have no problem, they have rather talented lips and tongues. But I digress, La Bourboule (I just wanted to type it again because…

Two Cards and An Ornament
Chez moi is the lamest Christmas house on the block. Seriously, the decorations (or lack thereof) are pathetic. This year we got Fifty instead of a tree. And I’m very thankful for my little buddy but we can’t decorate Fifty. He’s just not down with the gold garland necklace. Where the tree would have stood,…

Christmas Tree Countdown
Today is the 1st of December. The countdown to Christmas is well and truly here! Or to Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, or Christmukkah! It’s here! I’m no stranger to countdowns. Being someone governed by lists and calendars, most of my life is spent in some sort of a countdown, marking off intervals of time until an…
