In this first part of a two-part bonanza, we're jet setting to Milan, Italy for 24 hours. How many meals did we fit in? Listen to find out. And stay tuned to learn what cuddly wild animal gets a goodnight kiss from Nova every night. 

We have houseguests. We have a roof box. And we have the best chocolate in Paris (ok, in Saint-Germain-en-Laye). This episode revels in our French lifestyle, before we skip across the border for an Italian soggiorno. This episode is a little teaser to whet your appetite.    

Driving cars, drinking bubbles, and meeting bunnies. These are just a few of this week's activities while we await the arrival of more houseguests. What this episode lacks in adventure and intrigue, it makes up for in hard life lessons about overeating. Join us!

It's a week of new routines and culinary treats. I won't spoil it for you. Just listen.

We're staying away to record this little gem. We celebrate Ellie's birthday, eat the best bite of the year, struggle through another children's birthday party, and put a bow on another wonderful houseguest visit. It's a podcast. Listen, won't you?

Have your favorite celebrity interview podcasts started recycling old guests? Well, we're getting in on that action! Ellie's mom is back for another episode. This time we discuss our road trip to one of France's beaux villages, where we picnic by the Seine and explore a 12th century chateau's hand-carved steps and "miserable holes." And that's just a single day. Join us, won't you?

Spring has sprung in Paris - or at least it feels that way this week. We're enjoying unicorn parties and playgrounds, debating the merits of rice with sugar, welcoming Ellie's mother back for another visit, oh, and finally getting a car! Beep. Beep.

Send your questions to [email protected]. And wish Ellie a happy birthday today!!

Abrasions and baby blood. Mysterious viruses. We make it out of Morzine in the nick of time. Our first real vacation was a overall a success. And it makes for good content. Join us, won't you?

We're in the balmy then wet then snow covered French Alps, where our family experiences all manner of alpine adventures for the first time. There's cheese... incredible amounts of cheese. But can an abundance of curds make up for nightly non-dairy disappointment? Find out!

Have we done four of these already? Lucky us. And lucky you, because today we have our old friends Allana and James from Boston, with their son Leo.

Relive the fun moments and challenges from their visit, including a Paris Pokémon pop-up, a riparian picture predicament, and plunging pigeon poop. Hear about traveling with children from someone other than us for a change. And marvel at as they recount their pastry conquests. Enjoy!
