Shop Sunday Morning on Ile St Louis

The holidays are in full swing. I decorated my mantle and made a delicious Channukah dinner during the week. I have four advent calendars (two tea, one chocolate, and one jam). So, I love this time of year so much. On Tuesday, I donated to two great causes with your help. Thank you so much to all those who purchased The Paris Calendar. Over $1,000 was donated to Flatwater and Alex’s Lemonade.

This weekend was kicked off with a little raclette party at my Paris family’s house. By party I mean there were four of us. I now have this machine on my wish list. If you love raclette and are interested in doing it at home, Trader Joe’s has the best cheese but they consider it “seasonal” and stop selling it by January 1st. So stock up now!
