My birthday was yesterday, I've had such an amazing one! Turning 33 is something special for me cause 3 is my magic number...
I feel so blessed to have such an amazing daughter, family and friends!

I woke up to the sweetest presents ever! home made! my daughter rocks! I had teary eyes...

She made drawings...

This is me in my circus costume!

The sweetest message that melted my heart...

Hahaha! this is me in my "ska bebe" costume...

Lil sweet messages hidden in fake ciggies...

She made me an awesome bookmark...

there was a heart shape mini soap and a pack of fake ciggies..

she called them the ciggies of happiness, they're all filled with secret love messages!

"you're the best mama in the world" aw...

"this is going to be YOUR year"

She made this clever lil pocket...

with a bandaid...

some cream samples...

a cute italian tooth pick

a nail file

She made a gourmet note book! so I can write about good restaurants and recipes!

With another adorable message inside..."you're the best mom, the coolest and also a little bit coo coo..."hehehe!

"here you can write all the good addresses and also to remind you which ones to avoid when it's bad..."

This is a real scene that happened once...private joke...

she made lil comic books about me! such funny stories! I can't get over how talented she is!

this is something to put my stamps in cause I love sending letters...

the design behind it

a drawing of me as Snow white and the 7 froggies...

Me as rapunzel and her as a lil monkey...

we ordered 33 pieces of sushis for brunch!

34 arrived...direct in our bellies!

She ran out to buy me cakes! this was a lemon crumble...so good!!

and a mini chocolate delight...

Then in the evening, my girlfriends took me out for Thai food!

we actually started with 2 bottles of champagne!then it was wine..

Sweet Najat praying with a Thai goddess...

we ordered different little things to share...

This was so good! steamed tapioca balls !

chili horns..

Nanou & Natacha. Those girls are the best fun ! they cracked me out!

This little one is not bad either according to my shiny laughing face...

she tried to feed me with her horns..

But it ended in Najat's ear...

Happy happy blurry birthday girl!

This is how I blow candles

Kristelle and Najat

Bye bye Reki, Bonjour Brussels!...



My darling Reka has left yesterday...
thanks baby for all the good fun, the good words, the long walks, the healing hand and the music.
I'm gonna miss you til next time which fingers crossed, shouldn't be in too long!

I've decided to not stick around and keep moving, so... I bought a bus ticket and I'm heading to Brussels in 4 hrs to hang out with close friends and breath the air of my last days of freedom before starting work again.
Sometimes don't think twice. You just have to go. I mean, everyday is different and you never know what good or bad is waiting for you in the corner but you might as well just go and find out.
And, I'm glad I'm still the queen of spontaneity.

So bye bye Paris et Brussels here I come! ☺

Here's some cool pix I took of Reki on our last walk across town...

Aaaaah...Notre Dame

I didn't know before but the Pont de l'archeveche, near Notre Dame, is covered now with "Lovelocks"


does it not look crazy? so much "heavy" love displayed. Really sweet.
