precious moments
One of the most important things to do when maxing out your last bit of days somewhere is to spend quality time with those you are leaving behind. A couple weeks back I got to do just that with my cousin, Mrs. London. We decided to let Gregory join in on our girly time since…

ringing it in
Everyone knows New Year’s Eve is a notoriously overblown holiday. That’s why the older you get, the more apt you’re to keep the night low key… it’s not because we’re old and tired, it’s because the night usually blows and we know it. But after last year’s epic New Year’s Eve meal, I had high…

Une Histoire de Noël
“You’ll shoot your eye out”… my favorite line from one of my favorite Christmas movies; never did I ever think it would pertain to one of my Christmases, but thanks to the AK-47 BB gun that Mr.London found wrapped and waiting under the tree from Gregory, it did. While I should be counting my blessings…

La Veille de Noël
Since my childhood Christmases belonged to New York, I grew up with a traditional winter wonderland holiday. Because of that, I never got fully accustomed to the warm Christmases of Texas or the dark, wet ones of Dublin (although it did snow buckets that one year), but I have to say, waking up to this…

On the Eve of Christmas Eve…
… We said goodbye to our petit sapin de Noël, filled the car with Christmas goodies and headed off towards Toulon to celebrate the holiday with my cousin, Mrs.London. After spending a merry evening the night before with The Honeys, eating Rice Krispy treats (made by me) and pulling off bits of honey nougat (made…

Francegiving
Isn’t that a festive turkey? It’s courtesy of Mr.London. When he arrived the day before Francegiving, he had a few hours to kill before Gregory came home so I decided to keep him busy (idle hands and all). I asked him if he would like to help with the table place cards and he happily…

Gregory's Thanksgiving Miracle
I had been planning this year’s Thanksgiving for months. Maybe not ‘planning’ per se, but definitely talking about it. I wasn’t 100% satisfied with the way it had turned out last year and not just the Rudy McRuderude part. It was my first Thanksgiving that I cooked myself and that combined with the fact that…

Avignon {wining + dining}
Before going to see Les Luminessences d’Avignon, we decided to treat ourselves to dinner and drinks in the city (this country mouse needs to get a dose of city living every now and then). As I walked around, I tried to really pay attention and soak all of Avignon in. I wasn’t in quite full…

L'anniversaire de Mr.London
“I know what I want to get Bumder for his birthday.” “You do! Good! What?“ “A speaker thing for his iphone. It’s really good and really loud but it costs €200.“ “WHAT?! No. Find something else.“ “But he’ll love it!“ “Don’t care.” This was the conversation Gregory and I were having about Mr. London’s birthday…

Champagne Celebrations with Gregory and the Monk
Some Saturdays ago, Mrs. London came to visit bringing her brother, Brother London, with her and his new fiance, Roxy. Since new engagements call for celebrating and celebrating calls for Champagne, I threw together a quick sip and nibbles spread for their arrival. Brother London told us all about how the proposal went down… how he…
