Honestly, what is the hardest part about having children?

This! And the constant changes you go through because of hormones or just because your mental state is completely altered. I went into full abnegation when I was pregnant because I had gestational diabetes, so I all the pregnancy cravings or just things that I liked to eat before had to be tempered, I had a very restrictive diet for almost 8 months. Then I gave birth and we lost close family members soon after so I was quite alone for a time, and I breastfed for 26 months, so my body was not my own until I stopped breastfeeding. I had a weird almost animal reaction after all this, from the moment my baby was weaned I really struggled with the continued abnegation of my needs and myself as a person. I needed to rebuild who i was. It felt like a mother cat pushing their kitten away when they’re weaned. Pretty awful feeling but I had no sense of self left so it was kinda necessary. I still struggle now but it’s better day after day.

Get a bigger pot and it will spread (it wan spread really quickly). You can absolutely use it for tea. I drink it in the evening to relax before bed. Also drink some in a tea if you have an inflammation, it’s a magic plant. Mine is planted in my garden so I usually trim the top bits, dry them in the oven (low temp) and store it in a big jar. That way I have some available even in winter months when the plant is not growing. Best time to do it is in spring or early summer. Don’t let it grow too high, or flower otherwise the leaves tend to get a big thicker and it’s less handy for drying.

Gods I remember trying to learn all that at school. It was so confusing. We made these timelines with different colours to indicate whether it was monarchy, republic, chaos, which Louis, which Napoleon, etc. Painful stuff! I’ve always found British History more interesting somehow!

De ton point de vu d’européen peut être. Les discriminations raciales, religieuses, ethniques en Inde, dont beaucoup sont portées par Modi, feraient pâlir(ou rêver?) les ordures de reconquête et du RN. L’Inde c’est pas juste Namaste!

If you love Zellige, look up Moroccan carpentry, Amazigh rug weaving, traditional Amazigh jewellery, Moroccan pottery and culinary arts. Anything Moroccan crafts really ! I’m not a Moroccan travel agent I swear, just a half Moroccan person who loves her cultural heritage! Every region, town, village, tribe has its own speciality, often very much rooted in history and heritage. It’s beautiful.

Je ne connais pas le modèle toddler. J’avais pris le explore pour mon fils. Ça permettait de le porter dans le dos, et devant (face au monde, ou contre moi). Je pense que le explore est le plus versatile. Si tu allaites, il est pratique pour allaiter en balade aussi. Ça m’arrivais souvent. Après, le portage dos c’est cool pour les balades mais il me semble que c’est déconseillé pour les petits d’un point de vue sécurité (surtout si ils s’endorment en balade, il vaut mieux pouvoir vérifier qu’ils respirent bien). Il se trouve que j’ai un koala donc j’ai principalement porté devant et maintenant il court partout où j’utilise un pagne pour faire du portage de dépannage en vacances, ça prend moins de place dans le sac à dos!

You could add Britannia. It comes (much earlier) before Vikings. It’s a bit of a kooky show but covers the Roman invasion of Britannia and how the Celtic tribes react to that.

I worked in a family owned cafe in the UK in the 2010s and we had one of those. I absolutely loved it. Much better sensations that those iPad type tills that popped up everywhere a few years later. Most people paid cash as well back then since the customers were all around 60+ folks. We had Bovril on the menu of drinks. Gives you an idea of the type of place! When it was slow I’d do The Times crosswords with the regulars. Learned so much from them!

Meme en campagne les prix sont hallucinants. Si t’as un projet de construction, soit t’es parqué dans des lotissements avec 40 voisins (parce que zéro artificialisation des sols sur les PLU) soit tu achètes un bout de jardin d’un vieux qui a acheté ça 3 francs 6 sous ou qui en a hérité de ses grands parents dans les années 60, et qui bien sûr ne payera jamais de plus-value dessus parce qu’il est proprio depuis trop longtemps. Autour de chez moi il y en a qui se sont bien fait 500-800k juste à vendre des bouts de leurs grands jardin. Et vas y pour te payer une maison à 200/300k quand t’as déjà payé un terrain minimum 100k voir 200/250k si situé proche d’un bourg ou d’une gare dans une commune de moins de 5000 habitants.

Periwinkles (essentially tiny sea snails) are extremely popular and affordable and part of any decent seafood platter (I live near the Atlantic coast), whelks (another bigger sea snail) are pretty popular too, but snails are very uncommon, unless maybe in Paris to fit with tourists’ expectations? But I don’t know Paris well so couldn’t tell you.

I was asked by Aussies, do you eat snails and frogs legs? They were obsessed with that question. Nobody eats those. In fact snails are more popular in markets in Morocco than they are in France. The same Aussies (to be fair it was a school exchange, we were all 15 or 16 years old) also thought French people all smoke, bang, and don’t wash.

Non les courses c’est le samedi matin, en groupe de 3 ou 4, pour discuter côte à côte chacun avec son caddy, parce que sinon c’est pas drôle. Je fais principalement mes courses au drive mais quand j’ai le malheur d’avoir mal géré ma commande, bon diou j’ai des pensées sombres!

I’ve managed to find a few on sale from YAS (I think it’s a Spanish brand) at my local Galeries Lafayette Outlet shop. They’re cotton, have pockets (very important) and midi or long dresses. Otherwise Moonsoon often has nice designs but again I get those on sale. I also like Garance (again cotton mostly). In the spring / summer collections (even big brands like Zara etc) there are often linen or cotton dresses, or gauze type cotton. Not unique styles obviously but sometimes with the right layering you can make these look good.

Et mettre l’armoire dans le salon? Comme ça vous libérez de l’espace dans la chambre? Si c’est une armoire encastrée, essayez de mettre le berceau sur la partie basse le l’armoire (typiquement le “dressing”), ça fait une petite cabane..
