When practicing French with my husband, most of what we talk about is how I’m going to pet a dangerous animal (usually a bear, tonight a tiger) and how they will know I’m their friend and it’ll be okay. I’m getting pretty persuasive even if my husband still says no. Let’s hope that’s on the test!

Gizmo is such a cutie. I used to think chihuahuas were evil and now I have the sweetest, most loving little dog and I’m obsessed.

Brioche, baguettes and a galette de rois in phallic shapes
Discovered these amusing 🍆 shaped baguettes, brioches and even galette de rois yesterday while walking around the Marais with a friend and found out it’s a gay bakery! Legay Choc. What a cute place!

What a concept! That only took TWENTY FUCKING YEARS.
The arc de triomphe with snow coming down and cars driving around
It’s snowing in Paris. I’m also really amused by how tiny that car looks in this picture.

Gizmo in St. Germain-en-laye over the summer. Not far from Paris with a gorgeous chateau and gardens. One of my favorite places and there’s a lot of green space for Giz to explore.

Since everyone loved Gizmo in Paris, I thought I’d share that today is his birthday! He’s one year old. This was the photo that made me fall in love with him (and call him my little gremlin).

You see it in states like Missouri where 12% voted for Trump AND for making abortion a constitutional right. Other states show similar situations. They don’t even realize they disagree with his policies
