From the Editor: "There are only two places in the world where we can live happy: at home, and in Paris"


Je t'aime, France!

Our second destination of the week was pretty much a no-brainer. All I had to do was look down at my key-chain, and quite literally "Voila!" there was my inspiration: WE WILL GO TO FRANCE!!!
I'll admit, I have a particular bias to France, and everything french, for beaucoup raisons (a lot of reasons)! Besides having French heritage, I speak french, and I even was minoring in the language for a while in college. Even though I dropped my French minor, I never dropped my love of French. Everyone knows that French is the MOST romantic language in the world, and it is incredibly beautiful to hear. French culture has definitely crêpe-d (haha, see what I did there?) it's way into the culture of the world. And countless french items have made their way states-side (and no, I don't mean French Fries).


 As Gertrude Stein said :
"America is my country, and Paris is my hometown".


 I'm kind of obsessed with all the fun facts, art, movies, music, crafts, decor, and recipes I have planned this week for you all! You may not know what l'esprit de l'escalier means in English, but after this week you will definitely know what is to make your daily life just a little more French!
