Back to Work! (and the Altitude Summit Conference)
Wow! So many trips, so many life adventures since the last post. I would hope so, it’s been a long time. Yikes. I’m getting back to the writing gig slowly but surely. For those who don’t know, our family added Levesque #4 into the mix just about two years ago. Alexandre is a radiant, energetic […]
Highlights: Scottish Highlands
We’ve just moved to California from Arizona, a move which became virtually all-consuming–four months since my last update–yikes! Otherwise, I admit, I’ve spent most of my time and energy on my paid writing gigs rather than on updating this site–I think that’s a natural choice. Time is scarce with three little ones! It’s been fun […]

Registering was quick and simple, response almost immediate. I proposed a few potential dates and when we found one that worked, was assigned to […]

Vacation day camps exist in many of Paris’s most well regarded bilingual schools–and they are […]
Summer Travel Highlights Part 1
Not sure how many posts this summer travel highlights “series” will be…difficult to believe it’s over. It’s been a whirlwind of a summer and my kids are already back in school! We’re back home in Arizona, mostly settled in, so I’ll get back to posting here and there. Our summer travels, which were quite […]
Paris: Day 3
We made it safely to Paris! I’m testing whether or not the Iphone 5 camera is superior to my Iphone 4. All of these photos were taken with my new phone, so I apologize in advance for the quality as I’m getting used to it. I felt so organized on the trip over; I’d brought […]
Packing Advice
I was asked about Packing tips in a Q&A on The Collected Traveler. The links didn’t come through to the products I was talking about so I’ve provided them below. Hope this is helpful! If you’ve got any good packing advice, traveling with or without children, please post! Do you have any advice about packing? […]
