For years, I’ve heard comments like, “Megan you need your coffee,” or “Did you drink your coffee this morning?” and “I don’t wanna see the day when you don’t drink coffee,” from my friends. This is due to the fact that I’m hopelessly addicted to that sweet, dark breath of life in a cup calledContinue reading “Give me coffee or give me…”

Tu comprends?
Today I’m logging yet another hilarious nanny story into my chronicles. This evening my two kiddos got into a squabble. Yelling and screaming and the ever so rare tears came into play between the two and I was left as the referee in the middle. While discussing individually, in English, with them how they shouldContinue reading “Tu comprends?”
Christmas Break in a Nutshell
So, it has come to my attention that I should probably update some of you on my Parisian shenanigans since we last spoke. The following is my attempt to sum up all the craziness I’ve encountered lately. Here it goes. Over Christmas break, one of my best friends, Caitie, came to visit me. We hadContinue reading “Christmas Break in a Nutshell”
My Christmas in Paris
If you’d asked me at any other point in my life, I would have told you that I’d never spend a Christmas away from my family. It’s the best time of the year and I cherish this time that I get with my family around the tree, cuddled up in blankets, hugging mugs of hotContinue reading “My Christmas in Paris”

Armistice Day 2014
Today I was able to check another item off of my Paris Bucket List. And this was a pretty big one. I attended a church service at Notre Dame. Last summer when I studied abroad in France, I had the privilege of walking through Notre Dame while they were holding a service and I was ableContinue reading “Armistice Day 2014”
Take a moment
I just witnessed the most heartbreaking moment I’ve experienced since moving to Paris. As I was going into the metro to get back home from running errands this morning, I saw a man literally on his knees in the stairwell, tears in his eyes, mumbling what I can only imagine is an apology. This manContinue reading “Take a moment”
Catacombs!
So I just got back from hanging out with six million skulls. I finally went to the catacombs in Paris today! The day before Halloween! Perfect timing! So this was yet another thing to check off of one of my bucket lists. Anyone who knows me knows that I love scary things. Scary movies, scary books,Continue reading “Catacombs!”
I Amsterdam
This past weekend, I was able to cross one item off of my Europe Bucket List. I traveled to Amsterdam and had the time of my life. This beautiful Dutch city took my breath away and impressed me in so many ways that I never could have imagined. From the gorgeous canals to the wonderfulContinue reading “I Amsterdam”
