Coretta Scott King sums up why I enjoyed getting my teacher certification at Antioch University’s McGregor School. It is, also, one of the reasons that I like Yellow Springs. People in Yellow Springs aren’t afraid to question or think outside of the box. The people that live in Yellow Springs are open [...]

French twist with powdered sugar on top
Being married to a Frenchman is a wonderful and beautiful thing. Well, except for the fact that Frenchmen are in many ways just like all the other men in the world. I think it is best if I don’t get into the whole I man, you woman thing for now though. However, I would like [...]
Homesick, again
I am homesick for France. I knew it would happen. I just miss France. Just because I talk about things I don’t like in France doesn’t mean that I stopped loving her just as much as I always did. I talked often on this blog about things that I didn’t agree with in the States…however, [...]
Getting back into the swing of blogging
I have been searching for a reason to keep blogging since I am no longer an expat. I have been busy organizing and baby proofing in my mother’s house while at the same time catching up with my family that I haven’t been able to blog much. I
have decided that blogging is helpful to me [...]
I am joining Bloggers Anonymous…how about you?
Bloggers Anonymous is there for you if you need it!
I think most bloggers will admit that there have been times when blogging started taking over their lives. I know I have had moments when I would look at my husband and say, “I am so blogging that!” I think my blog is kinda [...]

Trapped
During our walk to the park, I heard frantic chirping. Looking up towards the sound, I saw a man leaning out of his large (as windows are in France) kitchen window with a broom. He was trying in vain to gently knock a complaining bird free from where it’s tiny foot was caught [...]
Beauty
While walking I am stopped by beauty in the most simple things. I had to take a picture of this white fence with the green leaves falling out and over it. I stood at least one full minute admiring how pretty it was.
I see and hear things in nature that most don’t. [...]
Sex differences in cultures
The other day, I wrote a post showing a more “private” side of my personality. A side that my husband sees and really no one else. We love to tease, flirt and play with words all the time. It’s great fun. Plus, it keeps the sparks alive.
Don’t worry I’m not going [...]
Night terror
I have mentioned that my girls cry at night before. It’s not really crying but screaming. They will wake up and start screaming like someone is murdering them for at least half an hour and sometimes llonger. No amount of kissing, holding or assuring will get them to calm down. I have [...]
