Lens and Sensibility
Girlfriends. The ones who know you so well that it’s scary. The ones who saw you grow up, walked with you to school every day or came into your life later, in a university amphitheater. The ones you can talk to for hours and, when you come home, you need to call because you forgot […]
Every year, in September, as if it were Groundhog Day, I feel overcome by an uncontrollable desire to redecorate the whole house. I’m sure that happens to many of you, am I right? Most of the time, all this motivation turns into hot air. After a week, I’ve usually forgotten all about my projects which […]
When a friend I met on Instagram, who takes beautiful pictures and has photographer friends, asked me if I was willing to do a family session because she wanted me to do it, you can image the emotion. I met Mirin (@mirinclos) at the Petit Atelier-Bistrot photography course and gastronomic experience organized by Inés (@lespetiteschosesdudimanche) […]
Today I’m writing about what has probably been the most relaxing weekend of the summer. Isla Bonita – which is the name her owner, my dear friend Petra, gave this wonderful place in the Drôme, a region adjacent to the famous French Provence – brings together all the ingredients of an earthly paradise. Isla Bonita […]
I remember as if it were yesterday the first time a friend of mine told me about this amazing shop across the border, in Divonne, 5 minutes from home. She said they had the most amazing design products for kids, from furniture to toys. I think it took me a week to go and see […]
I have mixed feelings about addressing maternity matters on the blog. First, because I’m not an expert and don’t want to become one or give any maternity advice. And second, because this subject is very personal and I’m constantly debating with myself about how much to unveil in a forum as public as a blog. […]
Since we live in the countryside, I much more enjoy nature and the changing seasons. The funny thing is that nature’s always been present in my life: in my home village in Spain, in Geneva… But I didn’t see it before. At least, not as I see it now. Now I enjoy it with all […]
I believe it’s not a coincidence that I ended up teaching. According to my mum, as a child, I used to spend most of my time pretending I was a teacher. I used to place my dolls (or my brother, when he agreed) in front of my chalkboard and teach them I don’t know what. […]
I should be happy and grateful to have been able to spend eight months at home enjoying my baby boy. It’s a privilege in a country where you usually get a four-month maternity leave (yes, Switzerland is one of those countries – an opposite reality to Sweden, for those who mix them up). I’m really […]
I’ve been writting about our Florida trip in recent posts (the first one about the trip in general and the second one about Miami, in particular). This is going to be my last post and I’m going to tell you more about heaven on earth: the Florida Keys. The Keys is a Florida region you […]
