It’s All Maya!

I don’t know about you, but am I the only one who feels like I wasn’t told about all these name changes taking place in cities around the world?!  Everytime I mention a major city in the world by name, I hesitate wondering if during the night someone didn’t come up with a new name and I’m […]

I’m always in the mood to bake around the holidays and when Mia and I were talking about Cream Tea while she was in London, well, of course, baking scones came to mind.  No surprise then, with pumpkins in season at the moment, pumpkin scones just seem to fit in perfectly for the holidays!  Trying to […]

Don’t ask me how I got to reading a post about an American girl living in the suburbs of Paris, because I truly can’t remember. (Sorry, but that’s how it is when you reach my age!) Anyway, I left a comment on her blog and boy did she and one of her readers take it […]
