Mumbling


Don’t mind me….I am just sitting here yawning like a big ol’ cat. Boy Blue woke up last night with a temperature of 102.2 degrees F. I know, I know. One of my kids are aways sick. Two weeks ago it was the girls and their Papa. Now, Boy Blue.

Beautiful old things make me happy


A picture of the headboard to an antique bed that we bought last year.

A close up of the detail on the headboard. Unfortunately, we are unable to use the bed at the moment. We can’t find a mattress to fit it without special ordering one due to the measurements (I think it is [...]

Oh…baby, bébé !


When we first moved to France, it was with a 14 month old and a 2 month old baby in tow. No problem, right? Well, you’d think. However, during those first months of life in France, just thinking about going to the grocery gave me a headache. I hated walking through [...]

A blurp that turned into a belch


My recent post people are people stirred up ’some people’. I really didn’t think it was such a big deal. I was simply posting that people in bloggie world make questionable posts and like with anything else don’t believe everything you hear or read. Some people are not good at adjusting [...]

Kids say and do the darndest things

Mama got some new shoes!


Someone asked demanded to see pics of my new shoes. Well, I am not one to disappoint or leave others in suspense. So, without further ado, the pictures are below. Nothing too exciting.
As I mentioned before, the shoes must match all of my (3) outfits which translates into boring shoes. The [...]

Springing out of winter hibernation


To celebrate the arrival of Spring, our family spent the weekend outdoors walking through the center of Strasbourg (Sunday) and along the Garden of Two Shores (Saturday). We crossed over the beautiful and impressive bridge by foot from France into Germany. Because, I am a terrible mother and blogger I forgot to bring [...]

Obligated to listen to dribble


My father-in-law took me to Boy Blue’s doctor appointment this past Friday because my husband would not get back until late that night from his training in another region for his job. I was going to take the tram and then the bus but he offered to drive me. You can imagine how [...]

Touched by a picture
