Must-Have Baby Items for Getting Around Paris

Unless you're moving to Paris from New York or London, you'll likely go from being a person who was used to driving everywhere, to someone who has to walk everywhere. Not an easy task with multiple children. These are the items that I couldn't have lived without from day to day.

#paristhisweek: Feels like Spring

Recently, I went through some old blog drafts that I never posted...there are a lot. And I found this charming, short entry that I wrote on March 15, 2018:

DIY Maternity Shoot

I would really love to hire a professional photographer to take maternity and newborn photos for us  because I appreciate having someone with an artistic eye behind the camera. Unfortunately, it's not in our budget, but back in July I rented a nice camera for a friend's wedding.  Since I didn't have to return it for a couple of days, I asked my husband to take some pictures of me and then we set a self timer and took pictures of ourselves for a DIY maternity shoot.  I think he/we did pretty well.

Coffee in Paris: Numéro 220


Apparently the coffee culture in Paris has radically changed in the last 10 years.  Before moving here I read David Lebovitz's book, "The Sweet Life in Paris", and when I came across the chapter on coffee (my favorite chapter--duh), I was shocked to hear that the coffee in France is horrible.  Living in Boston for 6 years had spoiled me with the very best coffees, but at least now I was prepared.  "Ok.

Birthday at the Park

A couple of days ago we spent the afternoon celebrating my husband's birthday at our favorite park. We saw a wild chicken (not pictured), ate some of our favorite food- fresh baguette, white truffle saucisson, various marks and spencer goodies, and enjoyed breathing in some fresh air.  THIS park is the best because there are times you feel like it's your own, private garden.

Ice Cream in Paris

Let me tell you about the best ice cream I've had in Paris.  But before that let me tell you that I'm trying to act like a "real blogger" by watermarking my photos.  You have no idea how old and inept doing such a simple task made me feel.  I searched youtube for "how to turn text into a photoshop brush," and was taught by a boy who sounded no older than 8 how to accomplish said searched thing. So here they are!  My horribly watermarked pictures! haha!
