Hands covered in paint, coin purses filled with small euros for espresso, friendly conversation and toasts at dinner, slips as dresses, and soft morning light.

Here’s are the bits and pieces of our (@cybellealexis and @reniriver) Parisian adventure. The things written in here and the photos shown were created in tucked away cafes, on the metro, and while strolling by the river at sunset. Hope it transports you to a faraway land. Bisou bisou!

Emma and I get on the wrong train often. Both bobbing our heads as the train dips away. We love Brooklyn, I think that’s why we frequently find ourselves having gone an hour in the wrong direction.

i want my children to grow up barefoot running through the woods. I want them to know the feeling of the trees growing around them, to recognize the gurgle of a stream before they see it, to know the taste of a blackberry from a bush long before the taste of a chip. I want my children to experience the earth we came from through touch, not pictures, and video games. And I want to be right there with them through all of it.
