It’s been ages since I’ve done a “French Friday” post but I’d like to start them up again. I’ve been thinking about being more intentional in my daily routine and I think that returning to French-inspired living would help in that regard. Right now I’ve got to hurry and get ready to go. We have…
French Friday
Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these. I haven’t been posting all that much lately but I’m going to get back to it. I promise! So…French Friday. Have you seen “Midnight in Paris” yet? If not, you absolutely must. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite awhile. …
French Friday – While you were sleeping…
I think my favorite recurring dream is the one where I discover a previously unknown room in my house. I know I like that one better than the “naked in public” dream, or the one where the curtain is about to open and I realize I didn’t memorize my lines. Or the one where…oh, never…
French Friday – Rest and Restore
Thank goodness it’s Friday! This has been quite a week and I can’t remember the last time I was so incredibly happy to see Friday arrive. I should vacuum and clean bathrooms and mop the laundry room. But you know what? I’m not doing any of those things today. The bed is…

French Friday…
I’m going to Tulsa with my mom today and meeting up with my sister-in-law for lunch, some shopping and then a quick hello to the niece and nephew after school before heading back home. With little time for a well-thought-out French Friday post, I decided to let the pros handle it for me. Here are…

Bien dans sa peau…
Are you familiar with the French expression, “bien dans sa peau”? It literally translates to “well in one’s skin” or loosely, being comfortable with one’s self. This phrase was brought to mind the other night as we attended a 1940s-style burlesque show in Oklahoma City with friends. As I watched these young women perform, I…
