Links I Love Week 19: Year 2025
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, stepmoms, grandparents, aunts, and female role models. I hope you can honor the special people in your life and take time to celebrate yourself. If you are struggling today, I am sending you love.
It has been a full and exciting week in Paris. I am home and back in Chicago, fighting jet lag. There are so many exciting things to share regarding Paris Every Day. First, we have a front cover, a back cover, and a spine! Yulia was over this week to take photos, but here is a preview. I squealed with excitement when I opened the box.
Preorders must be in by May 19th, so now is the time if you haven’t put your order in yet. My friend Sonja created a very special gift with purchase in Paris. Each preorder will get a map when the book ships on October 14th. If you have watched Younger, you know how essential pre-orders are to authors! This book is a dream come true, and I have been working so hard, along with my editor Marie, to bring my vision to life. I can’t wait for you to hold it and enjoy each season, one chapter at a time.
Grab your coffee and croissants, and join me for links I love.

On my last day in Paris, a friend and I stumbled upon a home store that was too good to pass up. We ran around like two kids, rushing from aisle to aisle, laughing and giddy with excitement. I purchased a few things: a glass cheese keeper, a grater, this mini madeleine pan, and this jar opener. My husband smiled when I offered him the jar opener because it worked like a charm!
