my miraculous moving miracle
Gather around children as I tell you the story of a miraculous thing; a miraculous thing that happened just when I needed it most… It was the morning of Tuesday, the fourth of March, and I was flying out of Paris and leaving my life in France behind. I was tired and stressed and sad,…

Oh life, will you ever calm the eff down? You might have noticed that I’m still not in top blogging form. Life has been throwing a few too many distractions toward me at the moment, albeit most of them good (most of them… thank heavens). Since Gregory and Fifty arrived three weeks ago, we’ve been busy…

catching up on the things that I missed
{Representing The LPV in The TX} Back in August, I wrote a post about some of the things I missed in the U.S. Truth be told, it was written about two weeks after we had made the decision to leave France. At the time my mind was swirling with thoughts and feelings, mostly nervous ones, and…

observations
{got salsa?} It’s been just over a week since I’ve been back in Texas now and all I can say is… actually I have no idea what to say. I’m pretty much swimming in culture shock. This is something I wasn’t prepared for, like at all. When I was younger, I traveled back and forth…

Bonjour mes amies! Only five days left in Le Petit Village, can you believe it? Life has been bustling… my mother flew in late last week, Mrs. London came up for my going away dinner, and tomorrow my brother’s Aix bound train arrives. Before I know it, Friday will whip around and I’ll be locking…

Ever since Gregory and I started to tell people about our move, the number one question we’ve been asked is, “why?“ “Why are you leaving France?” “Why Massachusetts?” “Why not go back to Dublin?” “Why aren’t you staying in Texas?” And I get it, people are curious. Heaven knows if one of my friends dropped…

// Last night, Star Wars Revenge of the Sith was on French TV. We were watching bits of it here and there and I was explaining to Gregory who everybody was (he still hasn’t seen the three original Star Wars movies but I have promised to finally rectify that this weekend). I made the mistake…

Sad Wallowing Day
Happy Thanksgiving tout le monde! You see, I can still say Happy Thanksgiving because for me it hasn’t happened yet. At my house it will be happening tomorrow, which means that yesterday, while my American brethren were stuffing themselves silly with turkey and pumpkin goodness, it was just a plain old boring Thursday for me,…

First Fall Friday
This is the story of how we spent the first Friday of fall. Gregory had the day off work which is always nice but having the day off on a Friday is super nice. We didn’t do anything particularly fall like, there was no sipping of pumpkin lattes while going on a hay ride to…

the debacle
Here’s the thing… I like to stretch out my birthday for as long as possible (you’re totally surprised by this, aren’t you?), and this year, the bajiggityness of living in Le Petit Village made this very easy for me. You know how my actual birthday was last Saturday? Well my original celebration plans went like…
