Knocked Up Abroad: It’s a ….! | May 18th, 2012

From the beginning of this pregnancy, I had a very strong feeling that this little person inside of me was growing to be a girl. I just sort of knew it. Everyone kind of assumed that I really wanted a girl and that’s why I had this feeling, but the real honest truth is, I didn’t have a...

Villasimius: Paradise in Sardinia | May 16th, 2012

It’s sort of funny how we ended up in Villasimius. The whole idea to even go to Sardinia began over Christmas during our dinner at Terra Terra in Florence. Christian, our amazing host, told us all about his life on the beautiful island, which we already knew was accessible via a very cheap flight...

Knocked Up Abroad: U.S. vs. France | May 10th, 2012

Hi everyone! We’re fresh from our Sardinian getaway and I’m feeling great. A relaxing beach vacation was a great way to spend a few days and I can’t wait to tell you guys all about this island paradise that is only an hour flight away. But first, I’m excited to share my next...

Dessert in a Jar: Berry Lemon Goat Cheese Cheesecakes | May 9th, 2012

A few weeks ago, we had friends visiting so we took them to Chez Boris, one of our favorite restaurants here in Montpellier. We ordered a Tiramisu for dessert and it came to our table served in a jar. As the four of us demolished it in about 30 seconds, Michael said, “a jar makes every dessert...

Delicious Cravings: Slow Cooked BBQ Pulled Pork | May 1st, 2012

Early last week, a blogger I follow on Instagram posted a picture of BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich and the little baby growing inside me whispered, “Give me that.” Shredded pork, thick BBQ sauce, buttery bun, I needed it now! We’ve been basking in the laziness of a 4 day weekend thanks to...

Knocked Up Abroad: The Beginning | Apr 25th, 2012

First of all, THANK YOU all so much for your kind comments, posts, emails, texts, and tweets! Seriously, we had the best day on Monday just basking in all the love and well wishes we received after our announcement – we are so lucky! Since discovering our big news, there has been a lot I’ve...

One Year in France | Apr 23rd, 2012

It’s hard to believe that it’s been over a year since we said good-bye to San Francisco and started our long journey across the country and back to the Midwest. It’s hard to believe that exactly one year ago today, after a very frustrating trip, we arrived in Montpellier, exhausted and...

Communication Breakdown | Apr 20th, 2012

Since we’ve been in France for almost a year now (can you believe it?!), I thought I’d give you all an update on how our French is coming along. It’s been awhile since my last update, so maybe you think we’re fluent now? Yeah right. In a nutshell, here’s how I’d...

Prague City Guide: Dos, Don’ts, Eats | Apr 18th, 2012

After all the traveling that Michael had been doing (I think he was home a total of like, 4 days in the last month), we took a very relaxed approach to our trip to Prague. We didn’t go into the trip with any sort of agenda – we ate and drank, we slept in, and we didn’t pressure ourselves...

Ahoj From Prague! | Apr 10th, 2012

Ahoj! Just a quick note to update you all on two things. First of all, we’re having an amazing time in Prague. It’s odd, but the city feels like a perfect combination of many of the places we’ve visited over the last year, like Stockholm for all the bridges, Copenhagen for the bright...
