I'm Susan — devout Francophile, mother of twins, writer, creative director, and aspiring author. I've been sharing my life here since 2010...thanks for reading!
I’m always searching for unique postage, and I must admit I’m pretty jazzed about these! Pardon the pun…couldn’t resist. Two of my favorite jazz giants as forever stamps?! Stop the madness. The USPS has teamed up with La Poste to issue these, the only catch is we have to wait until June. Counting down!
Wishing you all a wonderful “Féte du Muguet”, an old French tradition/holiday which celebrates the arrival of spring! Lily of the Valley flowers are gifted to represent good luck and happiness…bonjour May…bienvenue spring!
My french-infused baby shower was a success, and a beautiful, memorable day. I got to share it with such lovely ladies…I owe them a huge MERCI for helping to make it so special. It turned out to be a rainy, cozy day…the perfect conditions for a tea party, right?! We dined on Ladurée macarons and tea to the sounds of Piaf, Bruni, and Gainsbourg. I was showered with such thoughtful gifts for les bébés…vintage books, french clothing, and some good old fashioned staples. There are so many people I want to thank for making my day so amazing…but mostly my friends Stephanie, Angie & Tim, and my sweet hubby, whose help was priceless. I’m a very lucky woman. Stay tuned…I’ll be sharing our photobooth shots next!

We took a road trip to NYC on Saturday with our friends Angie & Tim for a special pickup…the Ladurée macarons & tea for my baby shower! It was quick trip in and out of the city, but we had a blast and made sure to have enough macarons for the ride back. Angie snapped these photos of me outside…24 weeks pregnant (with twins…in case you forgot, haha)! We also took a little video…check it out!
