Quick update
It's been a busy but wonderful couple of weeks. My MIL is here helping with the baby (and cooking!) and I've had some time to do the things I really want to do but haven't gotten around to.
In summary:
* My husband and I went away for a quick weekend trip. It was great. Wonderful customer service does exist in France! I'm going to promise myself that I'll blog about it within a month, if only because the b&b we stayed at deserves a shout out.
* On Monday I won a children's book from a blog contest at Vintage Kids' Books My Kid Loves! Another blog post coming about that, as well as about my ultra-cool scarf from This Chickadee. I'm about a year late in showing my appreciation and it does shame me. Check out their Etsy shops!
* Tuesday I went to a Mardi Gras party and had the best gumbo I've ever eaten. There were crawdads, king cake, and chocolate bread pudding (with pecan caramel sauce) and I enjoyed every last bite.
* Wednesday we went to a toddler play group in English, which I think will be a big help with her bilingualism. She learns an amazing amount of French from other kids, so this is a nice balance as well.
* Yesterday I had lunch at a Tex-Mex restaurant with a friend and we scoped out the local gardening supply stores. We have big plans!
Whoops, I'm being called. Another post hastily ended...

You must tell about the wonderful customer service!
As busy as a bee!!! Sounds like you sure have been having some fun.
I'm so excited today. Some green shoots are starting to come up in my bulb garden! Hope they arent too early. It's still a bit cold.
Come by and visit my site. My Marti Gra pancakes are up!
Just found your site. How lucky you are! A writer living in France. One day, moi, aussi. Thanks for sharing, Cheryl
Angela, I will! I have another great example as well, my optician. He's the best I've ever seen.
Kathy, good luck on those bulbs! I've got some stuff coming up too; especially fun since I didn't plant it and it's a complete surprise. Am planning the garden and hope Sissy will help me figure out something that is doable.
Cheryl, thanks for visiting! I look forward to reading your blog as well.
It sounds like you've been having a great time -- that's nice to hear.
