Paris souvenirs
Before we leave Paris and head to Italy, I thought I would share the “souvenirs” I purchased. For me, I like to bring things home that I will use. When I interact with them, they will remind me of my trip and, hopefully, a great memory that accompanies them. I already shared about the antique […]
free & final day in Paris
We got a late start to our last day in Paris. It was the only day we didn’t have to wake up for a tour, so we slept in and were slow to eat breakfast and get ready. When traveling, there is always a tension between wanting to see as much as you can and […]
champagne & reims
As I was planning out our France leg of the trip, the number one thing I wanted to do was take a day trip to Champagne.

As I shared in THIS POST, I visited a pen & paper shop mentioned in the book A Paris Year on our first day in the hopes of finding a fountain pen. While the shop was charming, it wasn’t what I was expecting and they didn’t carry what I was looking for. I knew from […]
Paris 2019 | Marais Walking Tour
One of my favorite experiences in Paris last year was a private walking tour (The Sweet Side of Paris), so I decided to schedule another tour for this visit. These small tours are a great way to see the city and learn new things. My mom, John, Wendy, and I decided to do the Treasures […]
Paris 2019 | Chateau Latour & the Louvre
I’m ho-ome! For those who haven’t been following on Instagram or Facebook, I spent two weeks in Europe and arrived back in the States yesterday. I didn’t want to work on blog posts during my trip. Instead, I took lots of pictures and kept a detailed journal, so I could share it all with you […]
