French Inspired Living
Springtime has arrived; however, since we currently reside in the Southwest, it will stay for about five whole minutes and then be replaced with several months of oppressive heat.

I loved how their petals looked like little spoons. Every year, it has become a … [Read more...]
I love St. Valentine's Day although it comes during a tough time of the year for us (Mr. Darcy is a CPA so getting out to dinner on Valentine's Day rarely happens), but we do our best to still make it special for each other and our 5 children.
