Plants have been part of our interior for years, but now that our Urban Jungle Bloggers community is growing and growing, I see greens everywhere. You may call it trendy, although I wonder if people will get rid of all their cacti plants when they feel the trend is over. Because plants are living things, Read article…

Flowers for guests
Maybe you remember that I was taking pictures of some flowers a few weeks ago? Well, it was a real challenge: the cats were super curious and wouldn't keep away from the florals. They actually nibbled on a few leaves too. It was almost like the florist added some catnip to the bouquet. So I Read article…
Sunday in Canada
On Monday Megan from The Fresh Exchange wrote about the importance of the Sunday walk. I can totally relate to that! Ending the week with some fresh air and exploring before the next week begins is just wonderful. A few weeks ago, my husband and I spent the last few hours of the weekend in Read article…

Plog it!
Hello, goodmorning! This week has been so weird: I wish I would have plogged it to understand why it has been so weird. Yes that's the "new" phenomenon: to photo blog your entire day.

Winter Sun
Yayy! It's December! How do you like it so far? Here in the Oise it almost felt like we had the first sunshine in decades. Last week was so grey and dark: no wonder why they call it the dark days before Christmas. So in stead of decorating our home for the December festivities, we Read article…
My first urban jungle in Monaco
Why I love cacti so much? I think the Jardin Exotique in Monaco is to "blame". 15 years ago I visited the garden for the first time and something green rubbed off on me. When I came back last month, it struck me: this is where it all began! While Monaco is little more than Read article…
