View post →Paris has always held a very warm spot in my heart. There are days when I truly miss living there, walking the cobblestoned streets along the Seine, passing windows dressed in the finest of pastries, and even the chaotic/melodic sounds of bustling passerby’s always on the move to their next appointment….Ha!…kinda sounds a little […]
