First Day Vibes

Same door, same sign...but so much changed in between the 2012 and 2016 back to school photos!

Oooh la la

I really enjoyed this article -

The Real Reason You’ll Never Be Able to Parent Like a French Mom. 

Which reminds me to give you an update on the real real reason I may never be able to parent like a French mom. 

Despite passing my big test (over 2 years ago now), I am still no more French than I was when I set the goal to become French. 

I can't even remember the exact reason why I am not French enough to be French. But I remember leaving the French consulate in Amsterdam in tears. 

It was something about how my French husband isn't French enough. Despite having a French passport himself, and piles of very detailed French paperwork...there is some certificate that is missing from his file which I would need to have in order to become french. I can get it, and I will...but I am giving myself a bit of a break from this exhausting process. If I know anything about this process, I know that getting that little certificate will not be fun, or easy.

A fun sidetone, my test results have since expired. Which means that if and when I do track down that little certificate, I'll get to take the test again. Taking the test is a humbling experience.

I look forward to my next attempt. That last sentance was a lie.

Nike at PFW

This photo is worth a repost. I love when favorite things come together. Like Nike a Paris. And gym socks with heals.

Good find SN.

Confession #363

I love this photo. But...

Something is missing...ME!

What kind of besties go to Paris without me?!?!

I forgive you.

Hotels in Biarritz

As I clean out my euro phone and move into my new US phone (ask me for my new #), I came across this list of hotels that I noted (for looking fabulous) as I cruised around town in Biarritz. I don't want to lose this list, so I am posting it here.

We have raved about our trip there and someday hope to return.  We have also encouraged all friends to check it out. We loved our airbnb digs, but I love a good hotel too, obvi. So, here is a list of hotels at various price points that looked great:

Hotel Silhoette:

Hotel Florida:

If you plan to spend the vacation in surf camp and eating at le surfing (which you should probably do), you could not find a better location than this apartment/hotel: Carlina.

Le Grand Large was in a good location and has a pool...

Les Ours Blanc/ Caritz
