palma de mallorca, spain
Well hello, little old but-not-forgotten blog! How are you doing? Last week I spent four days visiting my little sister, Margot, in Mallorca before she began another course for her Master’s program in Education, which offers courses abroad during the summer. With almost an entire office on holiday, it seemed the perfect chance to escape […]

a day in italy
The trip recap continues! The day after the big party, we decided to take a little road trip to our favorite Italian border town, Susa. Originally founded by the Gauls, Susa eventually became a part of the Roman Empire, and remains of the Roman city are still found in the town’s central square. It’s small […]

france, part iii: la fête
The evening of the party, we had a slight change in weather. Instead of the brilliant sun we’d had the whole week, the sky was suddenly flooded with big, dark clouds and a cool fog covered the mountains. Luckily, my dad had sprung for a cabin big enough to hold us all, just in case […]

saturday afternoon
This weekend, I took my nephew to Conrad’s store to say hi before hitting Barnes and Noble for some play/book time. What I thought was going to be five minute visit turned into almost an hour and a half of musical fun with Uncle Conrad, one which I could not stop snapping. Just watching these […]

katie’s shower
Last weekend, I was invited to my friend Katie’s baby shower. As usual, I was late, but better late than never, right? ☺ Katie’s mom, Joni, hosted the shower, and she went ALL OUT. Both she and Katie are very crafty (like mother, like daughter), and she made almost all of the decor. Of course, […]

key lime pie
An actual recipe post? Can it be? Last weekend, we were invited to a potluck and, on a whim, I decided to make and bring a homemade key lime pie. With it’s fresh lime flavor, key lime pie just screams ‘spring’ to me and once I got the idea in my head, I couldn’t get […]
