Family Days
I’m not sure when I lost track of documenting our adventures here, but when I opened up this blog space today, I saw a back log of drafts, pictures uploaded and ready to go, with no words. Scrapbooking, or documenting, has never been my strong suit. And I realize there are so many easy, instant options today that I could be utilizing better, perhaps.
October Things
Fall in Germany is one of my favorite things now. The leaves begin changing and hold on to their bright yellows, oranges and reds all the way through mid December which give me so much time to enjoy it. I love the slow roll of it over the quick intensity of the Rocky Mountain Falls I grew up with, and the lack-luster brown falls of the desert living in New Mexico. It feels like I really have a chance to savor it.
Weekend in Paris
When a friend asks if you want to join them for a weekend in Paris, you say YES! My amazing friend Emily was going with her adult daughter to take a bread-making course at Le Cordon Blue cooking school near the Eiffel Tower and wanted to know if Emme and I would like to join them. There was no hesitation, except that Emme wasn’t old enough to do the cooking school course. Such a bummer, but I still wanted to go and share lodging and some memories together.
Sweet 16!
I can’t believe it! Emme, my first girl, my second child, my easiest labor and delivery, my spunky and dry-witted girl turned 16. Living in Germany means this milestone of a birthday is missing the usual milestone things that came for myself and Matt when we turned 16. There’s no Driver’s License to celebrate, and dating is the furthest thing from Emme’s mind and she’s not thrilled with the dating pool, yet. She also absolutely refused a surprise party, so there wasn’t any fanfare there.
The Weekly Loves
The sweetest way to connect with a weekly note to your inbox, from me.
What’s the Weekly Loves all about?
You're here and thinking about signing up for my weekly love note. But you’re wondering....should you?
I’m the first to tell you, your inbox is sacred space! Letting someone into your inbox is inviting in a new friend and I know you only want the best in your life, like I do. That's why I only share value, things that lift and serve you as much as possible with helpful info, ideas, and free resources.
I send you my carefully curated list of a few things that you’ll love each Friday around noon MST, plus a link to the recent blog posts so you can stay in the loop with our adventures on this side of the world.
Think of it as a “muse bouche” of the best things to love, curated just for you, by me.
Love,
