As some of you know, I started working for a little boutique travel business earlier this year called Haven in Paris. I’m so in love with our company and our mission, to help travelers have amazing trips in Paris, Provence and Tuscany by renting one of our chic properties. I’ve also started contributing to the

I’ve been especially busy planning my vegetable garden since… well… since I plucked my last squash late last year. Even while gorging on amazing local food in Paris all
