Looking back, I spent a lot of the month of June riddled with anxiety about an 11 hour flight with a newborn and 18 month old. Wiser friends with more parenting and long haul travel with children experience tried to calm me down, to no avail. Luckily the pre-travel anxiety seemed to be punishment enough and the flight itself was shockingly easy. Time will tell if history repeats itself as we have another 11 hour flight in about a week. This time I’m not nervous at all. Otherwise it was a sweet start to summer – read on to discover exactly what I ate and drank, did, and where I shopped in the June 2025 recap.

We spent nearly half of May in Normandy because of all of the May holidays that we turned into long weekends. It was a good test as we learned how to travel with two bébés. A personal May highlight for me was finally convincing Romain that we needed to have air conditioning in our bedrooms at least.

April in Paris is always a special month, but this year it was especially so as we welcomed our second bébé. My family came in town so I rested up while we were in the hospital and was ready to hit the ground running after we were discharged (there’s a three night minimum hospital stay in France – bliss). As with our first, bébé deux quickly became accustomed to our favorite places in Paris – and we discovered a few new favorites in April as well.

I have to say I was dreading March for a long time. It was the last full month before bébé two’s arrival and I had a feeling it would drag on and on forever. Surprisingly it went by quicker than I’d anticipated with a visit from a friend, plenty of activities to keep me busy (but not too busy), and a game changing third trimester discover.

Thank you for hanging with me in the absence of recaps. We recently welcomed a new baby into the family and I’ve been partially inside a newborn bubble and partially chasing around our one year old. It’s been loads of fun but hard to get much of anything else done but I promise to catch up on the recaps soon! February was a special month as my parents came to visit and even in a heavily pregnant state we did a ton. Read on to discover exactly where I ate and drank, shopped and what I did in February 2025.
