There are one million reasons my mom deserves a party.  The most obvious one is that today is her birthday, but the most important one is that she deserves it.  She had the grueling task of raising three kids who didn’t say no to a single activity.  I love you mom.  I will never be able to thank you enough for the years that you devoted to raising us.  Beyond being my girl scout leader, class volunteer, and team mom; the hours you clocked as my personal chauffer, paper editor, lunch packer, and cheerleader are… Read more >

Un biere froid, s’il vous plait

So me and Paris got off to a great start (hooray for fresh baguettes!). Dinner was less successful. This, my friends, is a falafel gyro.  With cheese.  And fries.  Uhhhh…merci, but no? On the plus side (not the French meaning of the word, because we found out today “plus” means “more” in French as per our phrase book), I did discover I like Greek beer.
