Here's to balance the previous post in which some people could think I am bragging about our boy being almost all potty trained. Well here's our teeth cleaning situation and if it wasn't for the cost of dental work here in the US I might have given up already. It was all great and easy a few months ago, our son was then the most admirable boy in the universe. That was then, and now...Scary how wonderful habits can take a nightmare-ish turn from a week to another. 

Non-parents-yet : please don't judge!
Parents : I know this will resonate with some of you and hopefully bring a smile. 
Child-assistance : I do love my boy and treat him well, just trying to be a good mom and learning as I go!

One Loop Portrait a Week by Romain Laurant

Have you ever fell so stocked for one of your fav friend to find the right "one"?  I have. And she, above, is the right one.
Not always easy when one of your close guy friend gets himself a girlfriend. What if you don't get along? Arrgghh would hate it. But most of the time they do pick a really cool girl because hey! they are your really cool buddy, why would they pick the bitchy ones  for themselves..?! 
What do I love about her? She ROCKS red lipstick and has inspired me lipsticking my lips. She is cool, just so cool, she can dance all night, laugh all day AND she deals with her man (love you man) on a daily basis...hands down girl, you are a rock star. Not to mention the beautiful little girl they together created.
What I do not like about them : They live wayyyyy too far. In Paris.

Time flies. Years go by. But don't you dare forget to tell your friends how much you love them. Trust me one day it will be too late. 

Mon môme au Môle

Cleaning up my computer today, making space in its cluttered memory, I came across ooohhhhh so many photos I shot this past year. Photos that have been seating there. yes you may blush, you too have tons of photos that might just seat there for 
 e v e r. I know. We all do. Blame it on smartphones that seem to shoot photos all by themselves, blame it on your busy lifestyle , the truth is that once stored in the warm comfort of our computers, photos rarely make it out of it ever again. 
I started deleting a lot of shots, but slowly found myself playing around with some I had forgotten about. It wasn't long before my Photoshop was blasting in its own way. I started editing and saving all photos I want to print. 
AND I decided to start a GIFed Bandits series. 
Now that I have this little corner of the internet up and running, I might as well display a few of my favorites....whatever! 

About this one:
where: Saint-Malo, Brittany, France - Plage du Môle -
When: very beginning of June 2014
Who: My dear friend Doris, her super-mom Monique and my boy. 
This beach used to be my backyard when I lived there. My friend's mom, my neighbor and a role model (she probably never knew). Being there with them and my baby was very special.

I will celebrate Friends and Happy souvenirs through this series.
