FRENCH WOMAN'S MANIFESTO
French women don't often weigh themselves, preferring to keep track with their hands, eyes, and clothes: "zipper syndrome."

trees
I'm visiting in Pa, my family for the weekend. My sister's neighborhood is a heavily wooded valley, next to mountains. I forgot how beautiful it is in spring. There is just nothing like big old trees, and lots of any kind of trees! It is 10 degrees cooler here. They are like loving teddy bears, that respirate clean air and cool mists. I am loving these trees.une Ecossaise à...

Hedonistic pleasure
It's almost 1.00am here in Paris, and I'm at last off to bed. My husband and sons are down in the Pyrenees for Pentecost (I couldn't go, cos I'm on call at the hospital this weekend.) BUT there ARE compensations to being left alone in the house. Girly pleasures can be indulged. This evening, that meant an evening of skin-pampering, followed by a long bath...plenty of gorgeous l'Heure Bleue bubbles, a favourite piano concerto on the stereo, and a G&T on the rocks to hand. My ultimate end-of-the-week, slightly decadent, pleasure! Now for a good sleep. Bonne nuit!Suzannew

Ooh! I really hope you come before long! There are so many posters here I'd love to meet 'in the flesh'. And, yes, I LOVE girlie decadence from time to time (though I actually had two 'lie-back-and-wallow' baths this week cos I've had two on-call stints and I find a bit of self-indulgent pampering helps me to unwind. In my defence, it's something I can't do when my three menfolk are home, so I have to have a surfeit of such treats when I can. Oh, yeah, I forgot to say, to add to the sheer hedonism, that bath was taken by candlelight!! :-) Thanks for understanding!!! x0xMarilyn

Wonderful
What a wonderful way to spend your 'man free' time. With your stressful vocation you deserve it. Enjoy the moment.lancoco1960

Taking dd to lunch
She had an unexpected day off from school and I decided it was time for some mommy and me time. She is a teenager and going through a lot so I wanted to spend some time with her. I think I'm going to make more of an effort to do some mommy and me time each week. At first I thought she might not be interested but I was totally wrong - she said she really enjoyed it and of course so did I :)JSB

Lovely!!
I have two daughters and a son and I really enjoy spending time with them one on one and have a great uninterupted conversation. Its so nice :)miamoki
POSTED: Wed, 05/08/2013 - 10:58pm
Yes!
Especially when you get to actually see their faces and they actually put down the electronics!!! It was wonderful and I'm going to be doing it more often because pretty soon she'll be in college and I'll be longing for these days! Hope you get to spend more time with yours in the very near future!JensieFrench

Well,
Its early days for us, My daughters are 7 and 5 and my son is 3. So we spend a lot of time together but they are really starting to become their own little people with their own personalities and opinions. But there is something special about uninterrupted one on one isn't there?JSB

Dinner
Today's pleasure was watching my children eat all of their salmon on their plates. They both even commented on how delicious it was. I have been working hard to develop their appreciation for real, fresh food and I think it's paying off. My 8 year old actually requests Brie now :)vickie2

Home at last
After a week away we're home in Cumbria. It's funny how your home always looks bright and clean when you return. We have lots of lovely plants to put in and a few little additions to our home. Yoga tomorrow and lunch with a very pregnant ex work colleague. Housework can wait!!coco1960

New Blouse today and Meyers Lemon
Today I will be wearing my new linen blouse ( the one purchased for five dollars and one of my 10 core items )..and yesterday I took the plunge and bought Meyers Lemon Daily Cleaner.

Testing, testing
I haven't posted in eons and have been reading over on FB of all the problems people are having. So this is a trial run! I'm thrilled to see all the writers in the group. One of my favorite inspirational books is Anne Lamott's "Bird by Bird," about her process and passion as a writer.Ava

Lovely
Sounds lovely, Ava. Hope we get a sneak preview.We have spent the last day of our Cotswold break just wandering a couple of villages. We have a car boot full of plants and I found some blue linen napkins the same colour as beautiful French table cloth I have. Home tomorrow.
