Oh man, the first trimester was rough! I felt so horrible almost every day until I hit 14 weeks. Now, the cramps are mostly gone and I have a lot of my energy back! Praises!! I read through some posts like these and took a few recommendations from other people to try to make it … Continue reading First Trimester Favorites
Yep, we're on to the next adventure! I don't really like doing things the easy way, so I figured why not add a pregnancy to this year that has already been filled with the challenges of a global pandemic, moving to a new state, buying a house, and starting new jobs?! We always have to … Continue reading Baby J: The First Trimester
If 2020 was good for one thing, it was reading more than I ever have before (well, since I was little and read ~12 picture books a day). I read so many books that had been on my to-read or to-read-read list for ages, as well as some new releases and a few that I … Continue reading 2020 Reads
Do you remember how in nineties movies and books, one of THE coolest things that people did was dress up in swanky snow gear (don't forget the reflective neon googles and a look that says I'm better than you) and spend the day on the slopes? Somehow they always found the perfect mountain vista with … Continue reading La Clusaz: French Alps Daydream
Do you know what my specialty is? RESEARCH. Especially thorough research that's too detailed for anyone's good. This can get out of hand when it comes to trivia about Mike Gordon (Flash Gordon is his cutest cat) or writing a research paper (TOO MANY TABS), but it's actually a pretty great skill when it comes … Continue reading A Guide to All the Normandy D-Day Beaches, Museums, & Memorials
If you're spending more than a few days in Paris (and you're American!), I would bet that visiting the D-Day beaches is on your bucket list. With the closest beaches being a 3+ hour drive from the city, you might wonder if it's possible to do a day trip or how to best squeeze everything … Continue reading D-Day Beaches Day Trip from Paris
So, now that I'm finally getting around to catching up on blog posts, I wanted to share about our time in New York City. I barely remember spending a week in the Big Apple because it was during our whirlwind summer before moving overseas, affectionately referred to as the Jackson Tour of the US. But, … Continue reading NYC & The Baker’s Dozen
One of our first weekends in Paris, some of our new friends invited us to join them for Saturday afternoon jazz at a hip but classically Parisian coffee and wine bar. We loved the music, and it felt like the most Paris thing to do ever, crowded around a few tiny tables, enjoying good company … Continue reading Jazzy Paris
Before the possibility of moving to France was ever a blip on our radar, I fell in love with France. I had long loved the French language, but it wasn't until I dove into reading stories about foreigners experiencing life abroad that I fell in love with all aspects of French culture. If you want … Continue reading All the Books to Dream about Living in France
Alright. I've put it off long enough. I'm one of those people who starts a million different things and then leaves them unfinished because I get excited about something else in the meantime, or I feel overwhelmed that I don't have enough time to do it justice (aka perfectly), so I put it off until … Continue reading paris essentials: a love story
