It was my turn for Sunday Supper last week and I was not in the mood. I’ve been both mentally and physically drained from teaching lately and cooking a fancy dinner was last thing I wanted to do on a Sunday. Thankfully, I have a bunch of go to super easy meals that still seem […]
Spring is finally here, the days are getting longer and there is no snow in sight. Yay! It’s the last Friday of March which means it’s time for some Friday Finds! This week’s finds include a tablecloth I can’t afford, a spring cocktail, a Paris apartment tour and some April Fools fun facts. Embroidered Tablecloth My […]
Spring is a fickle season in Maine. We’ve had plowable snow in April and I remember a May so warm a few years ago that I had a tan by Memorial Day. Even though the weather changes with the drop of a hat there are still some great ways to get out an enjoy Maine’s […]
Happy Friday! Hopefully you didn’t wake up too fuzzy if you celebrated Saint Patrick’s Day yesterday. I am about to embark on day two of parent teacher conferences, so no headache for me this morning but I will definitely be needing ALL of the coffee. This week’s finds include a takeout alternative, decongestant steamer, another […]
If you’re looking for a way to sneak more greens into your meals this is the perfect meal for you. Last week I made Rigatoni with Roman Broccoli Sauce from Milk Street and it was delicious. It doesn’t take long to prepare, so it can easily be made during your busy week. This recipe was […]
This week’s finds include Pi Day recipes, St. Patrick’s Day decor, a Shamrock bath bomb and flavorful mocktails.
This small museum is always worth a visit but I wanted to check out a recent exhibition called North Atlantic Triennial, the first exhibition devoted entirely to contemporary art of the North Atlantic region.
Happy first Friday of March! I honestly can’t believe that it’s March already, this crazy year is going by quickly and I’m ok with that. If 2022 were a dress I’d return it. This week’s finds include a coffee table book, a yummy recipe, cute sweaters and an immunity boost. Coffee Table Book Paris Dans […]
Updated March 2024 Did you know that tulips are celebrated across the U.S. at festivals dedicated entirely to them?!?!?! I had no idea! We went to The Netherlands to gawk at the tulips a couple years ago( which was so much fun and the flowers did not disappoint) but there are festivals right here in […]
This week’s finds include a yummy salmon topper, a trip to the museum, a fun website and a movie night recommendation.
It’s been a minute since I shared a date night in. We’re coming to the end of February which means that Mardi Gras will be here before we know it. Andrew and I haven’t been to New Orleans for the actual celebration (Tuesdays are school nights, you know) so I thought it would be fun […]
This week’s finds include a facial mist, a Netflix suggestion, a travel article, and a curling cocktail.
The sun is starting to rise a little earlier and set later, the Super Bowl is happening on Sunday, Valentine’s Day on Monday… spring will be here before we know it! I don’t know about you but Andrew and I have been hooked on the Olympics this week. Curling is always a must watch in […]
Way back in 2018 when dinner parties would happen on a whim and some of our friends hadn’t moved back to France yet Andrew and I were treated to a traditional French favorite, Blanquette de Veau. This dish is pure comfort food, many recipes have been passed down and perfected by French grandmothers for generations. […]
Happy first Friday of February! I spent this week trying to stay warm while still enjoying the massive amount of snow we got last weekend. If it’s going to be cold, I want it to be a winter wonderland around me. Looks like we’re getting some more snow today, yay! This week’s finds include a […]
It’s been so cold and snowy in Maine lately. I all want to do is sit on the couch wrapped in a blanket. A girl’s still got to eat though! This soup is perfect for warming up to on those cold days. It comes together easily, making it ideal for busy weeknights or a lazy […]
I may have filled our home with springy flowers but winter is not over yet. We’re expecting a big storm tonight in Maine that should last until late Saturday. They’re predicting almost a foot of snow in some areas. Yikes! So I think we’ll be hunkered down on Saturday, enjoying some of my finds for […]
It’s been super cold in Maine this week. After teaching remotely last week and being sick I’ve decided that I need to start doing more self care at home. Whether it’s a warm bubble bath, taking the time to do my nails or reading with a cup of tea, I’m going to make myself more […]
One of my favorite things to do when I travel is eat. I love to try new foods or indulge in an old favorite. Thankfully even when we’re not sitting in a French café we can still enjoy some favorites at home. Here are some French foods you should try making at home too! Salade […]
Well, the second week of January has not been kind to me. I have been sick all week,(not Covid) and it has kicked my bum. So not a lot of fun finds from the couch this week but I do have some things to share from over my winter break. This week’s finds include a […]
Starting the new year off with a new idea, Friday Finds. I love to see what people are up to, looking at, loving at the moment so I thought I’d share some finds from my week on here. January can be a little dreary. Most of the holiday cheer is packed away and cold, snow, […]
