Sorry for my recent absence but, vacation mode took over and I enjoyed a lovely eight-day Italian getaway in Florence. Since traveling to Florence for the first time last summer, I’ve completely fallen for this incredible city. I must admit, this time around the August heat was, at times, nearly unbearable, but peeking around every turn to discover…

Coffee Spoune
You know how much I love finding great new cafe’s in Paris, so when I saw that the newest establishment, Coffee Spoune, was set to open just down the street from chez-moi, I had to check it out.You’ll find a selection of cake-like pastries (I went with the apple muffin) and a delicious latte for…
