Whippin’ them out all over Paris
For the past two months I have lived in Paris with my husband and 5 month old. I have gone out every single day to enjoy this beautiful city and not surprisingly, my kid gets hungry. I am exclusively breastfeeding and this means that I have to feed Ripley out in the wilds of Paris....
Paris: Le Tour de France 2010 – Stage 20 in Paris
I like bikes. In fact, I like them so much I have 2 of them. I like the people riding the bikes even more because they always look carefree, in tune with their surroundings and have a wanderlust, love of life vibe about them. My husband and I really like riding bikes together for fun...
Paris: Chocolate Chaud, Tuileries, Shopping, Triumphant!
While my Mom is in town I have centered our days around a major attraction with ensuring there is time to be leisurely especially through parks.

First Day in France
We safely made it to Vincennes, France – a cute little suburb outside of Paris. We are staying at our friend Harold’s apartment. Harold is currently in LA with his fiancee, Verdell. Sean and I introduced them and it’s one of the matches I am most proud of. Oh l’amour. The flight from LA was...
GTFO 2010: WTF?
I finally have the time to write about what GTFO 2010 is and why and how and all those other burning questions that you have. First of all, GTFO stands for “Get The Fuck Out.” It usually means dismay, but in this case it means to get the fuck out in the world. See it,...
