Montpellier
St.Pierre Cathedral When I moved to Le Petit Village I did so full of excitement for all the traveling the Boyfriend and I would be able to do. After all, once you’re on French soil, aren’t you just a hop, skip, and jump from the rest of Europe? From Le Petit Village, I am only…

I Want Someone To Cook Me A Turkey
On this Thanksgiving morning I’m feeling a little hollow. Not really homesick hollow as much as tradition, family, and friend sick hollow. It’s been six years since I’ve lived in the States, so I’ve been without traditional Thanksgiving for awhile. But Thanksgiving was always my favorite holiday, none of the pressure of Christmas but all…

You Like Me… You Really Really Like Me…
Saturday morning and I was already feeling pretty good after watching France trounce South Africa in Rugby (I’m sure I’ll feel even better when I watch Ireland trounce France – roll on 13th February!) and feeling a little annoyed because the Boyfriend decided to wake up early and was intent on crashing my alone time.…

French Mommy
So I met French Mommy. Not nearly as terrifying as I anticipated. Although the language was difficult (nothing new there). Do we speak that fast? Luckily I have become quite adept at smiling and nodding. I’m like one of those little toy dogs with the bouncy heads you see in the back windows of cars.…

I'm Just Too Much
Monday morning and my post was going to be all about the weekend in Auvergne with the Mother, but that will just have to wait for tomorrow because it’s always something and I’m an idiot. This morning started off energetically and full of promise. One of those mornings when you wake up just knowing that…

The Raclette Party & The Plonk
I should have known it was too good to be true. Free wine. HA! A couple of weeks ago when I found out that Tuesdays were pizza night in Le Petit Village, I also discovered that after purchasing four pizzas you can either have a free bottle of coke or a free bottle of wine.…

My Petit Rave
It’s Friday and I’m feeling pretty good so where as yesterday I had a rant, today I’ll have a rave… 1. Le Petit Village has four castles. They’re mostly in ruins now, but castles nonetheless. And there were turrets. And if there were turrets, there must have been fair maidens high up inside them, with…

The Mushroom Incident
Let me start by saying that this should have been a much happier post. A post about delectable wild mushrooms and the beautiful gourmet meal I would cook using them. But I’m just not that girl and that’s just not me. And I will also say that this incident, that will henceforth be known as…

He Makes Me Happy
It’s been 24 days since moving to Le Petit Village. For the most part, I have been very happy. At times ridiculously overwhelmed, emotional, confused, and homesick, but still happy. While I’m trying to settle in, get my bearings, and struggling to learn French, my happiness can mostly be attributed to one thing, the sweet,…

Pizza Night
I learned something new yesterday, Tuesday nights are pizza night in Le Petit Village. I was ready to cook dinner when the Boyfriend came in and asked if I wanted pizza instead. “From where?” I asked. We walked around to the local church and right there in front of Le Petit Notre Dame, a small…
It's Me, Sara Louise
