It’s All Maya!

The Eurostar
Patrick and I left the center of Paris at 10:05 a.m. on the Eurostar and we were in the heart of London by 11:05 a.m.!!!  One hour from Paris to London!  Okay, two hours really, but if you’re talking local time, then yes it is and you can’t beat that!

Our neighborhood in London
I was […]

When I was shopping around for a cheap ticket to go to the States in August for my mom’s 90th birthday(!) I knew I was out of luck. If you know anything about France, then you know there are no cheap tickets anywhere to, or from, France in August! Simple as that! I started looking […]

This is the first Christmas Patrick and I will spend in our apartment since returning to Paris.  In 2009 we packed up all our things and shipped them back to France, so that year we spent Christmas at my mom’s house in Pittsburgh.  Wonderful memories with Katarina, mom, and the rest of the family playing […]

The latest example of the fashion industry gone mad is the firing […]

Maya Muses: Getting ready to go out and do some serious shopping this afternoon even though it’s suppose to get up to 98° (37° C.) today, I was reminded of one of my favorite quotes by the ever effervescent Carrie Bradshaw!
“I like my money right where I can see it….hanging in my closet.”

If you’re looking for a web hosting company, then read on!  I made the mistake of reading bogus reviews put out by the two owners/employees of Mochahost when I first started writing my blog!  I wasn’t interested in a free wordpress or blogger account; I wanted my own domain name and hosting company.  When you’re new to the […]

You would think if I had a choice between walking on the beach or cleaning out my closet, I would pick the first and leave the second for later.  Well that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the past couple of years, so this weekend I decided to finally tackle my closet!
