A Culinary Journey into the Heart of Paris!
In France, walking is a pleasure. I find it strange to say that, because walking is something we do everyday to get us from Point A to Point B. Yet I find it is a an act of pleasure when I give in to the act as a mediation in motion that offers my senses a bit of enjoyment around every corner that surprises me. It is as if walking give me a more intimate knowledge of the city I am in, and Paris woos me, in more ways than one. If you will allow it, Paris will entice you on a culinary journey… and like two lovers trying to…

Capturing Paris with the Book Fairies
When the word came down that our days in Europe was coming to an end, I panicked. No! This can’t be happening! I have so much more to see! There simply wouldn’t be enough time to see it all. After stressing about it I decided that just because I was moving, it didn’t mean I would never come back this way again.

I Survived Amsterdam

What could be more magical than a unicorn and a mermaid wandering the streets of Amsterdam? Little did I know I would end up carrying 30 gallons…

Our Four Day London Adventure with Kids!

A joy and a challenge because we represent a wide variety of interest and we must figure it out in 4 days or less. Day One An early morning flight and a bus ride later we arrived bleary eyed at our hotel. We were in need of a late breakfast or an early lunch. Perhaps we could get lucky and find one on our way to the first point of interest, or maybe I needed to change the first stop of the day to put us closer to a pancake…

Scouting New Places to Take the Family! Here are My Top 5
I love to travel the way some people can take solace in knitting a scarf. My friend calls this angry knitting. My step-mom describes this as allowing the magic to flow through you. All I know is if there is such a thing as a knitting chakra, it’s blocked. My travel chakra on the other hand is my center. Right next to that is my writing chakra. When I think of what helps me rebalance and recharge my life energy, it usually comes down to those two. Protecting the flow of what works is a serious keystone to being happy. For me that means sometimes we shouldn’t do something because we are…
