A day well spent

Today we went to watch show jumping here in town. I really enjoyed it , well you probably know already how much I love the horses right? It was amazing to watch.






























It was such a beautiful day again I spent some time in the garden admiring the flowers and enoying the sun. The flowers always give me the energy i prefer them planted in my garden to cut flowers in a vase. I don't know why, I've always felt like cut flowers are a little bit sad. They die so quickly and after couple of days you have to replace them. I much prefer plants in pots inside the house and beautiful flowers outside in the garden where they are happy and most importantly alive.


 I finally managed to work out today and hike a little as well. I have missed exercise so much. Recently it was almost impossible for me to find the time for it and I do have a sweet tooth and like all the comfort food so I do need my exercise.I also feel much better when I spend some time running or hiking. Talking about exercise I am definitelly not a gym person. I do my exercise either at home with couple of hours of yoga a week or I run or hike outside, which I find much healthier and more postive for the body at least for me it gives me a lot of energy and a good feeling to spend time on the fresh air. I am lucky though I live on the outskirts of the city, so I am surrounded by the beautiful forests, if I was living in a big city it would be a different story I guess. Nature is really important for me and I do like to be surrounded by it.



 Now I'm just going to cook some French Potato Gratin with comte cheese  for the family dinner. Hope you are all enjoying your Sunday <3

Let the sunshine in




































I've been loving the weather here recently. The last couple of days felt more like the summer. I decided to plant some roses and hydrangea in my garden and spent a lot of time on the sun finally!
I've even started to plan the summer holidays, this weather put me in such a summer mood.
Iwas finally able to take out all my summer clothes from the bottom of my closet and start wearing skirts and denim jackets. I mean I know it's only March and the weather can still turn and become very cold and rainy but at least for now it's sunny and warm oh so warm. 20C this afternoon! Would you even believe it?






























I can't wait for the summer to be here. I love those summer evenings when it's hot and I can just run around the house barefoot and I can smell the flowers through the open windows...



































 Now it's time for a bath and an evening of watching Ice Age :) . Ofcourse when my little one goes to bed it will be a time for a more adult movie. I'm thinking a thriller probably. Secret In Their Eyes sounds good. I love anything with Nicole Kidman in it. It will be a Netflix evening that's for sure.
Happy Saturday to you all!

Spring is here!

It finally came, it felt like spring these past few days. At least here in France. The flowers started blossoming and the whole nature started to smell like the spring.



 I have missed it so much! I forgot how good it feels to have warm weather, sunshine on the skin. Such a positive feeling that the spring brings. Family walks in the nature, coffees and lunches outside..To be able to wear just a sweater or a skirt and feel warm, I love this weather. The music sounds better everything feels happier. I had a wonderful women's day , I hope you all girls did too!























































































Speaking of women's day.. these ladies rock!

Like a Gilmore girl

Bonjour lovelies,  recently I've been binge watching Gilmore Girls again. Oh gosh how I love it. I'm so happy they came back. Watching the show is equivalent to curling up in bed with a good book on a rainy day. I'm obsessed with the show and I've been on a misson to make my home more like the Gilmore house and the Dragonfly Inn mix.

Who wouldn't want their house to look like from Stars Hollow right? Such an idylic little town..


































Since the show I've been loving the tiffany style lamps and the D.V. Furstenberg wrap dresses and the coats and cute hats and scarfs!



I have been a fan of many feel good shows like Ally McBeal, Friends..but this one has influenced me the most I think. Although I must say at times I've been a little dissapointed. I would love to see Jess come back. I'm not a big fan of Logan. Maybe a suggestion for the next one? Have a great weekend everybody. It's supposed to snow here again! I know what show I'll be watching ;)
