“Please don’t ruin the nice weather outside by suggesting that we go outdoors” - that was my warning before the weekend. We still went to the beach and I’m actually happy we escaped the city for a whole day. I…

Today is a beach day. It just happened, last minute decision. Also definitely fully embracing the “if you can’t tone it, tan it” motto since I haven’t exercised for 3 months now. Actually who am I kidding? I don’t…

This house is ready for both July 4 🇺🇸 and July 14 🇫🇷. They don’t know it yet but I’ll officially kick them out and take it over for the FrenchieYankee, Inc. headquarters. It’s too fitting and perfect I don’t see…

You had me at Cotswolds-like! The perfect mixture of quaint and charming. #TheOtherDC…

“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide No escape from reality. Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and seeeeee....” That’s it! This was just part of my plan to get this song stuck in…

Let’s talk about summer plans and travels. Are you restricting your travels to the yard or the park? Are you booking local trips? Or actually traveling by train or plane? Or just decided to stay put at home? I’m…

I love this house, do I like this house, I want this house, do I really like this house, I’m not buying this house, I’m totally getting this house... what the past 3 weeks have been. It feels strange to actually say…

Yesterday was the first day of summer... soooo when do you think it’s ok to start complaining about the summer heat? For some of you that I know well, I give it 6 days. As far as I’m concerned I’ll be entering the…

I may or may not have created an account on Pinterest. I won’t confirm and I’ll continue to deny it. But windmilldreams and @mendywaits pushed me to familiarize myself with it and they introduce it to me as “here is…

Here is a bit more from our first big walk in the city since March. If I was going to quarantine and hibernate longer, can it be here? I might be convinced to stay a little bit longer at home and inside on this porch…

Picture this. Long table with white table clothes under the string lights. Sweaty bottles of rosé in antique metal buckets filled with ice. Plates displaying rolled slices of prosciutto and jamón ibérico. Port wine…

Take a look at this gorgeous place I just booked for my upcoming birthday party. Meh... here's to wishing the 'esc' key could make me escape right there today instead. Anyhoooo, I have no clue what the plans are at…

This is just a quick obvious reminder that Black Lives Matter still has to matter to you in 2 weeks from now, and 2 months from now, and 2 years from now etc. when it's no longer "in" and trendy to broadcast opinions…

75 (24) degrees, no humidity, partly cloudy, some sun and a gentle breeze, this crabby crab’s Monday is definitely going better than anticipated. And to think I almost snapped!!…

No time for Instagram today. I just realized I missed National Rosé Day yesterday. Busy afternoon and evening coming up.…

I have nothing edifying to say today other than this guy already knows down to his sarcastic soul that all of the to dos and reminders set yesterday on Friday morning for Sunday evening will definitely not happen and…

The realization that since we put ourselves on lockdown on March 15 before the official stay at home order from the city, and of course not counting photos taken inside the house, I have taken a total of 15 new…

Quick recap in my head while daydreaming about a glass of wine: * Australian bushfires disaster killing 500 million animals ✔️ * Impeachment trial in the US ✔️ * Covid-19 pandemic worldwide ✔️ * Stock market crash…

Public Service Announcement: an important message and reminder to gift givers. We are at birthday - 15 days. So better cake my day because I like big bundts and I cannot…
