mama marseille
“You like running? You should come back in October and run from Marseille to Cassis with Honey Jr.“ This was The Husband talking to my friend Sarah’s husband, The Canadian, back in July when they were visiting. And you know what, The Canadian did. Last Saturday, we drove down to Marseille, checked into the super…

un petit pause
Today I’m taking a break from tales of my staycation to regale you with tidbits of recent life here in The LPV. Enjoy. {CSI: Barbie} ++ Do you have any idea how creepy it is to find a Barbie that looks like it barely survived a zombie apocalypse right outside your front door? It’s effing…

staycation {part. 2}
{Le Palais des Papes} It happened on Rue de la République. There I was, innocently standing at the back of the rented Volkswagen Touran, when I opened the door and was assaulted by a suitcase. The minivan was so overstuffed that as soon as the door opened, a twenty pound carry-on hurled itself at me, hitting me…

because it's still yesterday in Texas
{last year} This post isn’t late. Nope, this post is right on time. Texas time. And since Miss Aidan is a Texan (an East Texan if one wants to be persnickety about it) then this is the exact right time. It’s Aidan’s birthday. Oh, I’m sorry, could you not hear me? It’s Aidan’s birthday. And unlike last…

lickity split
++ That’s Fifty’s nemesis sitting on the window ledge all high and mighty. I’m not a fan either, but I do admire his balance. ++ Brazil Day was on Wednesday. I’m sure you’re thinking… wait a second, wasn’t Brazil Day a month ago… and you’d be right, it was, but that last Brazil Day wasn’t…

my perfect summer saturday
If I was to create my perfect summer Saturday, it would begin with coffee on a sunny terrace under a clear blue sky before sitting down to a big family breakfast. Lots of eggs, lots of sausage and lots of laughter (it might also include cheeky Bloody Marys while we were making the big family…

the summer fate date
Weeks ago, Kirsty, Aidan and I decided that we needed to start planning our next date because the last time we were all together was April Fools Day and that was practically forever and a day ago, and with summer flying by the way it is, if we didn’t hurry up and do something, we’d…

the way we were
{BFFs} ++ Honey Jr and Honey’s Honey came over for l’apéro Thursday evening. Fifty was so excited when I told him and as soon as he heard their car driving up, he started F R E A K I N G out. His tail was moving so fast I thought he was going to take off. …

birthday blowout
It’s been almost two weeks already since The Husband turned thirty and we celebrated in the most obvious fashion… with a barbecue (of course we did) at Papa’s house. {La Petite and her Papi} But it wasn’t just any old normal LPV barbecue… Aidan brought bacon wrapped jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and some Ranch…

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…
