I turned 38 in March, and as my mom kindly reminded me, I’m now less than two years away from the big 4-0. Most days it’s unbelievable that I’m pushing forty; others, I feel like I’ve lived at least two lifetimes in my 38 years. While I have a lot of things to be thankful […]

Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: February 2018
How is it already past the middle of March?! I’m not even sure what happened to February. Between meeting up with Tim for a long weekend in Carcassonne, flying to London for three days to participate as a judge in the Travel Retail Awards, meeting Tim in Málaga for another long weekend and then making […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: January 2018
I know the new year is well underway when that time to start printing off my telephone book sized dossier for my French residency renewal rolls around again. I almost made a major mistake too, which means I’m getting pretty comfortable dealing with the part of French bureaucracy. I thought I had until mid-March to […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: December 2017
We journeyed to five new-to-us countries this year, spent time in 12 different countries, 60 different cities and collectively traveled over 100,000 miles in 2017. We skied in Andorra, dived the Seychelles, zip lined inside a cave in Wales, and enjoyed the Christmas festivities in Edinburgh, Scotland together. I spent two weeks trekking and exploring […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: November 2017
November was an extremely hard month. As we announced in October’s Bordeaux in 365 Bottles, Emma passed away on November 3. Even though our cat of 16 years passed away last spring, I’ve never known heartbreak and grief like I’ve been going through since Emma died. Some days I’ve just felt paralyzed from doing anything; […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: October 2017
I can’t get this image out of my head. It was just before 7am and still dark out here in Bordeaux. Not even the morning going to work traffic had started yet. I stood with Emma on the street in front of my apartment building as Tim got his GPS situated for his drive back […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: September 2017
This month’s Bordeaux in 365 Bottles is a bit ironic seeing how I haven’t even set foot in France a single day in September. Tim, now living in England about 20 minutes away from Cambridge, picked me and Emma up and we left for England on August 27. I’ve really missed my friends, strolling around […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: August 2017
August, a typically quiet month in Europe, was actually anything but. My email may have mostly remained blissfully slow with the most of the rest of Europe on their holidays, but I was one busy, busy bee. Overall, it was a super productive month with a lot of work finally getting the attention I just […]
Bordeaux in 365 Bottles: July 2017
It’s now more than a year after I moved to Bordeaux. If we’d stuck to the original plan, I’d be packed up and moving to England right about now. But life’s funny that way. New opportunities present themselves and I guess you can’t ever really be sure what doors will open. And so, Bordeaux in […]
The Best of Bordeaux: Arcachon Oysters and Grand Cru Classé
One of the reasons we love living in Bordeaux so much is our proximity to some of our favorite things: many of the best wines in the world, nature and what we think are among the most beautiful beaches in Europe. Perhaps you didn’t even know that this world famous wine region is a mere […]
