Thank you, Rose! It was not easy to write but it was important to share and to remember how I am feeling and what I have been through this last year. xo

Thank you for all your research, your brutal honesty in telling your readers how you feel and cope with everything! I look forward to more of your favorites, posts, news of Henri, and your artwork! Merci! Maria

So many plans canceled or postponed again and again. Through it all, your blog and social media has been such a bright spot (and my beautiful calendar you created doesn’t hurt either!). And honestly, to watch how you were able to pivot your content is just awe-inspiring! Sending hugs to you and Henri, and fingers and toes crossed for all the wonderful plans that lie ahead in 2021!

We are now moving into Autumn (your Fall) and we too are enjoying the company of our beautiful cocker spaniel. We have not seen our daughter for more than a year as she lives in Queensland and the interstate borders have been closed. Hopefully will see her soon. Thank you once again, love your series, so nice to read and see images of things to come. Take care and love to you and all your readers.

And it feels like it’s never going to end some days. We daughters and I were to travel to London in July 2020. We had a horrific 2019 and were hoping to kickstart ourselves back into happiness with travel. Instead, we were in lockdown, home schooling, and learning to adjust to all sorts of “new” things. We did manage a trip to Michigan’s UP and have a trip planned to coastal Oregon this summer. But, it’s certainly not Europe!
Your blog and Instagram page have been a fun and colorful vacation for me!

I had spent so much time thinking about (and dreaming up!) our itinerary, where to eat, and MY OUTFITS :-)! While my logical side understood, I was also crushed coming to terms that this trip was not happening in 2020 🙁 I found your blog by total accident on a night in May when we would have been in Paris and instead we listened to one of your French playlists. I had the realization with a little mind shift we could bring Paris to us! Your frenchify series really helped me through out the year and in particular how little indulgences can add up and improve your life in big ways! It sounds crazy but I know when the day comes and we are able to make the trip IRL (spring 2022 fingers crossed 🙂 we will be able to maximize the trip even more from learning so much from you on French culture, etc!!! Keep writing – and maybe even consider a series Paris 101 for us newcomers! 🙂 Thank you!

Like all hardship, it’s shown us parts of ourselves we would have never known. We will never forget the challenges and yes, the sweet simplicities of this past year.

Thank you so much for your sweet words! It sounds like you have picked up some great habits from your in-laws. Cheese, good wine, music are all great additions to everyday life. You are embracing the small pleasures. Keep in touch. xo

Hi Barbara,

That is the big question about Henri! I have a very close friend that he has been seeing in my little bubble that has offered to take him with her dogs. Henri loves her and I know he will be well cared for. She won’t be able to do it every time but it will be nice to know he is with someone we love and trust for now.

I will be very happy when this is over and somewhat back to a comfortable normal. I want my family to visit Chicago and meet Henri!

I was lucky that when we got our Zoey she was in puppy training at the SPCA. I asked her teacher what she thought about this business that boards dogs – very expensive – and the teacher said she boards in her home. Since then, Zoey has spent as much as a month there and loves it! There are usually 3-4 other dogs and she has the best time as she is not stuck in a crate by herself all day. She literally vibrates when we get to the front door of the house as she is so excited. I hope you are as lucky.

Kudos to you for recreating your business throughout the past year. I will be so happy when this is all over!

I find your "Frenchify" series enchanting. I have not yet had the opportunity to travel to Paris. My in-laws are from Berlin and I picked up many European habits from them. Things such as fresh flowers, table cloths and cloth napkins, shopping every day and good bread. Cheeses as a dessert course and always good wine. Candles, music and taking time to savor the little habits of everyday life. Sounds similar, no? I have been asked by people that don’t know me if I am from Europe. I don’t have an accent but I think that attention to detail speaks for itself. love reading your Sunday links. Some of the products you mention I have used for years. Reading your blog feels like home to me.
