Aix: Les Lions + Les Soldes
Some Saturdays ago, we decided to go to Aix-en-Provence. I love going to Aix, but I especially love going to Aix when we’re meeting Mr. & Mrs. London. Meeting Mr. & Mrs. London means that Mrs. London and I get to leave Mr. London and The Husband in a pub and then trot off to…

roundup
++ Spring is breathing down our neck here in the warmest of sunny ways and I couldn’t be more delighted. Sunny, spring days mean the end to this, the most dull and boring time in The LPV (nothing is happening people, nothing at all, it’s very boring). It’s like everyone is hibernating, resting for BBQ…

five hundred
{La Petite and Mr. Chat courtesy of Child Bride} ++ 500. This is my five-hundredth post. I wish I had something more exciting to post than my usual random, round-up ramblings but I don’t. This is all I got. Je suis désolé. ++ 4:49AM was the time on the clock this morning when I woke…

we interrupt this regularly scheduled program
{Tory Burch} Well that’s that. I’m back home from the Aix TGV station where I’ve left my mother and Godmother on the 7:30am North to Paris where they’ll hop their flight to NYC. The staycation is offically over. I had great plans for today. Plans like beginning to tell you about what I’ve been up…

one does tend to waffle on
{saved} ++ Remember when I didn’t bring my camera to La Petite’s Baptême? Well looky here, I managed to score this one photo. For the record, neither I, nor Papa’s Wife have any idea what the thing on La Petite’s head was all about. That was all Child Bride ++ Friday night I had a…

{source} Hi kids, remember me? Here I am, typing away at Papa’s house because the internet won’t be setup at the new chez moi for another week. That’s right, I’m already at my new house in the new Le Petit Village, and while I’m knee deep in unpacking, I thought I’d take a breath and…

distr-Aix-tion
The absolute best way for me to wonder the streets (shops) of Aix-en-Provence without the dreaded huff and puff of The Husband in my ears is to keep him occupied. And what’s the best way to keep him occupied (besides food)? With his new man crush, Mr. London. We met Mr. & Mrs. London in…

c'est pas cher!
This is a snippet of a conversation that I had with The Husband Friday night in anticipation of our Saturday morning trip to Aix for L E S S O L D E S (to be yelled Oprah style) … Me: “are you sure the stores open at 9?“ The Husband: “yes” W R O…

Inspiration (not to be confused with perspiration which can be a bit difficult at the moment because oh my god it’s hot) is; the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, according to dictionary.com. Thanks Mr. Dictionary (or Mrs, pardon my sexism). Beth from In My World has passed on this Inspiration Award…

The Husband's Birthday: Episode 2
The day after The Husband’s birthday, or the calm before the storm, as I like to call it, we were all about relaxing. I knew that the BBQ I was throwing (with the aid of mon petit helper, Honey Jr) would be a doozy and a quiet night was in order. And it was quiet, until…
