Snapshots of Portugal

For our 6 year wedding anniversary, my hubby and I headed to Portugal for a kid-free, romantic week.

I am now OBSESSED with Portugal and want to go back with the kids someday.

There are so many things to share with you, but for now I will share our favorite snapshots from our trip.

Balade à Biot

Lately, we've been loving to take family walks through different towns and villages to burn of some of the girls' energy.

They sprint up and down cobblestoned hills while we stroll along behind them.

It is a nice way to see all the little side streets these gorgeous towns have tucked away.

This was our afternoon in Biot

France Finds: Annecy in the Winter (Travel Photos)

As you might already know, I live in a sunny seaside town in the French Riviera.
What you may not know is that I actually dislike hot weather and beaches 🙈
Blasphemy, I know.
I love cloudy weather, having all four seasons, and mountainous regions.
Do you know which town has all of those things?
(hint: it is in the title 😂)

Annecy.

Where To Eat In Annecy France

My hubby and I recently went on a lovely couple's getaway to Annecy, France.
Nestled in the snowy mountains, this alpine town is where skiers go after a long day on the slopes.
And how do they warm up after hours in the snow?
FATTY FOODS.
Raclette, Tartiflette, Fondue... I am drooling just thinking about it.
My hubby and I didn't partake in any winter sports, but we definitely ate as if we did.

Here are the amazing places we ate at during our weekend in Annecy:

Marrakech Part Four: Berber Market, Our Riad, and Random Snapshots

I can't believe it has already been 3 months since our trip to Marrakech.

These are the last of the pictures that we took there.
Marrakech is a city constantly moving but somehow remains to feel calm and simple.
If you ever have the chance to visit, I really recommend it.

Look at this amazing place:

Marrakech Part Three: Ben Youssef Madrasa

Ben Youssef Madrasa was hands-down my favorite place in Marrakech.

All the intricate details blew my mind.

I can't even fathom the time it took to complete all the carvings and plaster work.

Get ready to feel the travel bug nibbling away at you.

This place is incredible. 😍

Marrakech Part Two: Menara Gardens

If you read Part One of my Marrakech travels, you know that our taxi driver told us nobody from Marrakech goes to Jardin Majorelle.

We asked him where his favorite place to go is, and he told us the Menara Gardens.

Marrakech Part One: Jardin Majorelle and Musée Yves Saint Laurent

 Finally getting around to posting about my Marrakech trip 🎉 👏

The first place we visited was Jardin Majorelle.

It was absolutely stunning.

I mean, COME ON 😍

France Finds: Talmont-sur-Gironde

While in the Sud Ouest for Christmastime, we briefly visited a quaint village called Talmont-sur-Gironde.

It was a very chill and windy day, which cut our visit short as the girls were freezing.

Nonetheless, it was a lovely time.

Three Christmases Throughout France

Every year we have a few Christmas celebrations, but celebrations were prolonged this year as we road-tripped to visit the girls' great grandma on the west coast.

The girls were so good with all the traveling we made them sit through.

(Makes me want to do more family roadtrips, but the hubby isn't feeling that 😂)

Here are our three different celebrations...

France Finds: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

I have been living in France for almost 6 years and specifically the French Riviera/Côte D'Azur for 5 years, so I thought I would start up a series about places I love here.
First up on the list:
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild 

Nissa La Bella

The other weekend we headed to Marché aux Fleurs in Nice to buy our weekly bouquet.

After that we took a little stroll around to shake off some energy.

It was a lovely afternoon.
