Last month I had made a post about my favorite French game show that I watch while cleaning up the apartment just before the kids head off to bed. Notice I said just before because anything short of just before they go to bed is simply a complete waste of time. It will be all [...]

Boy Blue has been…well, kinda blue lately. He hasn’t been feeling up to his smiling, cooing ways. He has not even pulled his sisters hair in the last three days.
Boy Blue has caught a bug that is keeping him down. Bronchiolitis is the culprit!
I took his temperature the other night at around one in the [...]

Since January the 13th, 2004, Strasbourg has been my home. Petite Clown was exactly two months old on the day we stepped off the plane. Two years have flown by and each day France becomes more and more home and less and less strange. I love living in France and will never live any where [...]

Epiphany is said to be the day the three Kings were to have visited baby Jesus. For fun little charms, typically ceramic figurines of people or animals, are baked into [...]

Two nights ago, Petite Clown kept a temperature around 100 to 102 all night. Yes, the temperature was in Fahrenheit from the thermometer I brought with me from America. Because, of course, I couldn’t find the Celsius thermometer I had purchased since moving to France and after having to explain to French docs why I [...]

I will never forget the first time I visited Paris. All the history of the city pressed down upon me and as I turned at each corner a new discovery lay before me. In one street my husband told me that Napoleon must have ridden his horse there. I stepped out into the street (not [...]

The Christmas holiday has gotten much brighter since Angel Girl arrived. Not only did she arrive without jet lag, she got her Christmas wish. Her Christmas wish was for snow. We will go out this afternoon or tomorrow and attempt to bring Aunt Julie back to life.
I would like to take Angel Girl to some [...]
