While I just told you I was working while everyone seems to be on holiday, these pictures have a pretty real holiday vibe, right? Well… my stepson and stepdaughter spent a few days with us in France, so we decided to visit the prettiest village in our Oise region: Gerberoy. The village is part of Read article…

Les grandes vacances
Not going on holiday in the summer months is such a joy. Don't get me wrong, I love to travel and would hop on a train, boat or plane in a second. But it's nice to work while life slows down around you. Many of my French clients are en vacances, which means my phone Read article…

Oh Amsterdam
This weekend I was in Amsterdam to attend a friend's wedding. And while I hoped I could squeeze in a little time off in the city, I was too busy to help with the 9 layers weddingcake my sister created for the happy couple. Which was fun though! Somehow I never fell in love with Read article…

You Can Now London
If there's one talent that I developed in the past few years, it is to stumble upon the coolest places in the cities I visit.

The colors of Notting Hill London
Our French weather man a.k.a. Monsieur Météo predicted a rainy weekend in London, but I was very very lucky: as soon as my Eurostar arrived at Saint Pancras station last week the sun came out and didn't disappear until I left four days later! Super convenient, because what I like best when visiting a city Read article…
#Blogtacular highlights
These are a few of my favorite quotes from speakers of Blogtacular, a creative blog conference I attended this weekend in London. Apart from top notch speakers, a great venue (The Royal Institution of Great Britain), my personal highlights were the more personal conversations I had with blog friends, old and new.

Lago views
Next week I'll be in London and because I expect it to be quite an urban trip, I'm "virtually" preparing myself with some airy views from our #blago2014 adventure. I love these pale blues at the Lago Maggiore and the Lago d'Orta at this time of the year. As well as the eternal snow on Read article…
