Saturday Morning Manna
Another three day weekend here in France, but I will be spending this one in Paris. The last two holidays have been full of adventures and I am ready to sit this one out and chill. The first weekend in May, I decided to take a Solo Momcation. No kids, no husband, no work. I took the train an hour and a half from Paris to Le Perche, Normandy. The train and drive to my hotel was such an easy peaceful ride. I forgot what it felt like to just sit and read a book or stare out the window at all the beautiful colza fields (pictured above).Every mother should try to squeeze in a 3 day weekend away sans the family. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and don’t forget to read our café chat with the lady behind Sundays in Paris and tune in next week for my big announcement and confession.
Bisous xx,
Ajiri
