Remember when I mentioned that I wish we had a Farmer's Market around here? Well we still don't have one, but we do have a garden in the Oise where you can pick your own fruit, veggies and flowers, called les Jardins de Montplaisir. All seasonal, natural, although not 100% organic. I loved it, it Read article…

Let me present to you my little sister! We got to spend some time together this week and she was happy to model for this month's Urban Jungle Bloggers Edition about watering your plants.

On a quest for peas
I wouldn't suggest it's the secret to a happy marriage, but our Sunday walks are pretty good. Robert and I tend to walk somewhere between 12 to 17 kms and bring water and snacks. Usually I whip up some sugar-free cookies or little cakes and we always bring some fruit too. Although it's so much Read article…
The Ivory Fourteen
It appears that it's called Ivory when you celebrate your 14th wedding anniversary. White and tough, well I'm not sure if it was a white year for us (whatever that means), but the twelve months leading up to today were pretty tough. And happy too! I'm beyond proud of my dear husband and can't wait Read article…

Gradient Hydrangea
Even though our home is such a mess because of the bathroom renovation, I'm trying to keep up with the flowers at home. The #2flowergirls challenges by Elodie & Inga really helped me to get over the no-flowers-at-home itch. And our cats seem to be fine with it too. They haven't nibbled on these hydrangea… Read article…
Summer in the city
My absolute favorite season in Paris is early springtime, when it's still chilly and the sky is pale blue. But summer isn't so bad either, especially in August when all Parisians are on holiday, shops are closed and the streets are empty… until la rentrée in September. Last week was warm and sunny: perfect for Read article…
Sweet green peas
The other day I picked a few beans from a field. At home I watched more closely and realized it were green peas! I cooked them and ate them straight away. They were so very delicious and sweet and had the most beautiful pale green color. Now all I want to do is go back Read article…
Urban Jungle Bloggers #10
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic is a tricky one for me: creative plant pots – how to dress up your plants. It's tricky because I'm such a Betty Basic! I love plain plant pots with basic shapes and one color. Igor and I shared a few of our favorite plant pots on Facebook this Read article…
Kidimo in Paris
If I'll ever make it to Las Vegas, I want to visit the Neon Museum. It's basically a huge collection of old and newer signs that contributed to the history of the gambling capital of the world. From the pictures I've seen online, it's pretty rad (if you like signs of course). But if you Read article…
