After being told by numerous people that I should, I have decided to start a blog. As I write this I am in Aix en Provence with my husband and beautiful ten month old son. This made coming up with a theme for my blog easy because I am here doing what I love to do. I am loving my wonderful little family, traveling the world and eating some of the most magnificent meals.
A big focus of this blog will be all about family life and the meals that I create. If I am lucky I will also get to post about my many travels.
In Canada we are lucky enough to have a year for maternity/parental leave. J (husband) and I decided to take full advantage of that year. When R (son) turned 8 months, J took 4 months off and the three of us are living it up together.
Not wanting to stay home during a crappy Canadian winter we hit the road. We did a road trip down to Florida for 5 weeks and now are doing 4 weeks in the south of France. We have even been fortunate to have family and close friends join us for small periods during our travels.
So much has happened over the past few months that I know there will be a few looking back posts about our time off, as well as some lessons learned. I have always loved traveling and always thought I did it well but traveling with a baby is a whole new experience. So far R has survived two 24 hour road trips (Florida and back) and a flight to France with a connection. Hopefully we also make it home in one piece.
