After arriving in Paris later than expected, we debated whether we should still devote an entire day to Versailles. With so much on our list to see in Paris, we started to think it might be better to spend the morning at Versailles and head back into the city for the afternoon instead. Then we […]

Red Pepper, Basil and Parmesan Gougère Bites + Ellie Update
Inspired by our Parisian book club meeting this past Sunday, I decided that my potluck contribution would be French. I don’t have much experience with cooking French food (I was going to insert a joke about French fries, French onion soup and French toast here, but thought it might elicit a few groans), so I […]
Wining + Dining: Napa Girl’s Trip Part IV
Thanks to the wonder that is Facebook, I’ve now learned that February 18 is National Wine Drinking Day. If you ask me, whoever created this holiday was just looking for an extra excuse to say “cheers,” to which I say…genius. What better day to share the last details of our girl’s trip to Napa?

NatureBox
It’s always fun when I see the tiny yellow Post-It note on my mailbox that means I have a package. This was one package I couldn’t wait to rip open, too. When the team at NatureBox first contacted me for a review, I was very intrigued. The company sources and delivers healthy snacks to its […]
Keeping Things Pinterest-ing
Happy February! I’m thrilled to share that I will be participating in #FebPhotoADay, a challenge I came across on – did you guess it? – Pinterest the other day, and have been excited for ever since. Here is what I’ll be documenting over the next 29 days. Today was reserved for my view. Though it’s […]
