My Life in Paris and Travels Around France
It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is almost upon us. A few years ago I made a list of French Advent Calendars available online and have mostly updated it for 2026. Many of these calendars will sell out, so if you see something you like don’t hesitate to order it! When in Paris, two of my favorite places to shop for Advent Calendars are La Grande Épicerie and Galeries Lafayette Gourmet.
I may live in Paris (France), but I’m from Texas and it will always have my heart. There are so many fun Texas Christmas ornaments and decorations available online. I love adding to our home and tree every year. These will sell out, so if you see something you like don’t hesitate!
As an American mom of two living in Paris these are some of my must-have items for baby including the best strollers, baby carriers, accessories, skincare products and more. These products are our essentials for every day in Paris as well as travel for both quick and long trips.
I truly believe more is more when it comes to the Christmas tree so I always keep my eyes out for festive ornaments. Anything French or Paris-inspired is always a must for me. I’ve rounded up over 50 French Christmas ornaments available online to add to your collections. These sell out every year so if you see something you like don’t hesitate!
On Mother’s Day honor the important moms, grandmothers, aunts, stepmoms and friends who provide love, support, and guidance throughout the year. This list of Mother’s Day gift ideas for Francophiles will delight anyone looking to bring a bit of France into their lives.
