Be warned… This is a rant, and not a nice one, and if I learned anything from previous rants on my blog, it’s that some people take major offense. Well I will tell you what, I take major offense every time I see this effing guy singing his pop music covers in front of the Opéra de Paris as if… Read more →

Sunday Search for Late Brunch in the 20th
We had to head over to the 20th arrondissement this Sunday afternoon to pick up something we found on the Bon Coin website for bébé chéri who is arriving in just two months. And instead of making the trek over there just for this one transaction, we thought we would make a day of it. I was in a mood… Read more →
Do you tweet like I do ? : Making sense of the social media circus
Sometimes, I feel like taking a BIIIIIIIIG LOOOOOOONG break from social media… That ever present need to constantly tell the world what is happening in our little lives, tugs at our fingertips without fail whenever something worth sharing is happening. Sometimes I want to stop. Sometimes. And then, I remember that I do social media mostly to promote and aliment… Read more →
Delivery in Paris – « Moby » the Armoire
This was going to be a rant, but the situation became rather humorous to me, so I may include more dry irony than exclamation marks. Since we moved, I have been frequently ordering things for the new home (ie. furniture, decorative elements etc.) Getting them delivered has proved to be quite the hassle. At first I thought it was because… Read more →
Farm to Plate in Paris
Or as my twin sister often says : Farm to Fork! When you live in a big city, and time for good food is short, it is so nice to know that the good food can come to us. And it was quite by surprise that I saw a farm stand at my local train station in the middle of… Read more →

Poo-Pooing the Kong Restaurant
After seeing the amazing David Hallberg dance the Sleeping Beauty prince… Chéri brought me to the Kong for dinner. We thought we would make a fabulous night of it and eat at what I assumed would be a swanky and chic address with amazing fusion food.

Christmas gift shopping with the French
In Paris, stores often add extra opening hours to their schedule so everyone can have more hours to spend their cash on their friends and loved ones for the holiday gift giving frenzy. But it never seems to be enough for this conflicted hallmark-holiday-poo-pooing population. I can’t even tell you how many French people have said to me over the… Read more →
Vintage Salon
I went to the Salon du Vintage recently with my friend Quinn. I had marked it in my calendar for months. I love vintage things and was hoping to see the mother-load of vintage things. The cost of entry was 3 euros. I found that surprising for a Parisian event, where most things are much more costly. But I believe… Read more →
