Getting a shot that captures the soft light and atmosphere of a church's interior has never been my forté. This time though, I think I got a good one.

Breastfeeding in the Media (AGAIN!) - Time Magazine Cover
From Mama(e) in Translation, Today, Similar articles
I thought I'd just make very quick commentary on this week's Time magazine cover (although I don't want to engage in the "mommy war" discussion that the cover question wants to provoke, I fully agree with Katie Granju on this one, we're all "not mom enough"  at one point or another in our mothering lives).The photo didn't bother me -- although anyone who has ever done extended breastfeeding, including the mom portrayed, will know that that's just a posed shot and NOT the way we...

Nyhavn Postcard
From The Dutched Pinay, 3 days ago, Similar articles
Nyhavn or New Haven is unquestionably Copenhagen's or Denmark's best landmark. It's a lovely and lively place to be. Many would probably argue that for the country's landmark it should be the Little Mermaid. Honestly, I don't quite understand what's all the fuss about the plain bronze female statue.I have more pictures of Nyhavn and will post them later, on a separate entry once I am done polishing them. Polishing a picture for me is very basic'Picasa style, adjusting light and darkness and...

While life has taken a busy turn, with weddings and new schools and other various boring events that would entertain no one but me (and sometimes not even me!) I couldn't let the day pass without at least throwing out a Happy Mother's Day to all the moms I know.In light of the recent Time article asking if you are mom enough, making mothers all over the internet shout about how they ARE mom enough and who needs a magazine to make them feel otherwise all I have to say is this - I don't care...

Photo from our last trip to Belle Ile, Dec 2011. Â My little dreamer. Â Maximilien pulled a fast one on us today. We packed up this afternoon to head to the Jardin des Plantes pour the plant festival this weekend. We planned to ride over on our bikes so we headed directly over to the bike locker. Though we didn't verbally say we were taking the bikes we walked in the opposite direction of the entrance/exit of our residence to get our bikes. Maximilien ran ahead of us like he does...

Le Grand Vielleux
From Chez Loulou, 5 days ago, Similar articles
For a goat cheese with a bit of age on it, Le Grand Vielleux is surprisingly mild. Its has almost no aroma and all around, its flavor is light and mellow - a tiny bit of citrus, hints of salt, mushrooms and yeast, and only a slight whisper of goaty-ness. This particular cheese had been matured for several weeks. Texture wise it was a somewhat dry and crumbly in the middle, and soft and oozing just under the croûte. Now I am someone who loves a cheese to pack a punch, but I found this...
