I Wish I Knew – The Postpartum Breasts
POSTPARTUM BODY CARE – A GOOD BRA TO ELEVATE YOUR BUSTLINE AND YOUR SPIRIT Our baby girl is 20 months and she is not a baby anymore! As she is getting bigger and stronger everyday, I found my own strength going the opposite way. It’s about time to get back into a more active lifestyle. One thing I wish I have thought of right after giving birth was that I SHOULD HAVE HAD BETTER BRAS during and after my pregnancy. As a first-time mother, I had little time and even less motivation to think about my body in the first year. The least I could have done was…

Keystone, CO
Keystone Peak Three years ago I decided I’d go skiing. I’d skied in Niseko early in 2016 and was itching to get back on the board. Keystone has one of the earliest opening days in North America. I planned my trip and made my bookings for thanks giving. Turns out the 2016 season was probably one of the worst seasons they have had. I planned to do a few days at Keystone and a few days at A-Basin and bought the five day pass that no longer exists. The only run open was Schoolmarm and Last Chance. I’d recommend not going early. I did all five days at Keystone after hearing…

Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, PA
1965 Ferrari 365 P2/3 The Automobile Club of France in 2019 announced that Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum as having the best car collection in the world. No small feat out of the 200+ car collections reviewed worldwide. I feel this is more related to classic car collections. The newest car here is from 2002. Only 5 cars are newer than 1975. But this is more a reflection of the prices of modern cars being much higher than at the same time for classic cars. Especially racecars, which used to be worthless once they had retired from racing duties. The oldest car in the collection is a 1907 Renault 35/45 Vanderbilt…

Stroller Review: Phil & Teds Voyager 2019+
A good mix of flexibility, maneuverability and capacity The Phil & Teds Voyager 2019+ is a new convertible stroller with a unique offer Living in the US, the stroller brand Phil & Teds occasionally pops up in my research. From the local playgrounds, to airport in the Mid-west and the street of Paris, I have occasionally caught glimpses of their distinctive strollers. They are a New Zealand-based company with a long history of producing great three-wheeled all-terrain strollers and stroller with Inline convertible capacity. During our most recent quest to find the perfect double stroller, their latest stroller lineup released in Feb 2019 peaked our interest. Amongst those, is the revamped four-wheeled…

Paris, France
Summer Trip 2019, what better time to go to Europe than in the Autumn. It might be grey and rainy, but at least it’s not super hot. Seems air conditioning hasn’t reached that part of the world yet. Paris was the chosen destination, mainly because it was a cheap airfare, and secondly because it’s Paris. This was a shorter than usual trip for us, at 8 days. That’s because we need to take things a little slower and be less ambitious with the baby. Without further-a-do, here is the list of major attractions we made it to, and our thoughts on them. Eiffel Tower Musee D’Orsay Versailles Louvre Arc de…

Latin Quarter, Arrondissement 5, Paris
Eiffel Tower from The Pantheon The Latin Quarter We chose to stay in the Latin Quarter as it was central, while also being good value for money. Plus there was plenty of restaurants and bars in the area so we didn’t have to travel far for food. These venues probably weren’t the best choice to go with an infant, but in Paris I don’t there is anywhere that is baby friendly. The Latin Quarter got its name from the University that was founded here in the 12th century. In those times Latin was the language of the educated. Pantheon An impressive building. Originally constructed as a Church, it’s use has…

Versailles, France
Château de Versailles Versailles So off we went to the Chateau and Gardens of Versailles. An easy train ride on the RER C train from Paris which took approx. 40 minutes from Saint-Michel Notre-Dame Station to the terminus station at Gare de Versailles Chateau Rive Gauche. We had the unfortunate luck of catching the train in peak hour. Most of the passengers deboarded at Issy Val de Seine. No doubt you’ll be going there early in the morning to make a full day of it, so an easy way to spot your train during peak hour is it’ll most likely be stickered inside and out with Versailles imagery. This was…

Historical Axis of Paris
View from Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile Arc De Triomphe Turns out there are two Arc de Triomphes, the du Carrousel and the much more famous de I’Etoile. A brief history, both Arcs are to celebrate Napoleon’s victories in 1805. Carrousel was constructed between 1806 to 1808, while the much larger I’Etoile was constructed between 1806 to 1836. Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile I’Etoile stands 50 m (164 ft) tall and has a viewing deck at the top for those with tickets. Access to the inner area is via one of two underground passageways. To reach the viewing deck is via spiral staircases, consisting of, by my count, approx. 280…

Palais-Bourbon, Arrondissement 7, Paris
Eiffel Tower from Champ de Mars We headed off on this damp morning towards the Eiffel Tower. A straight forward enough walk, just need to watch the map for a few key intersections to turn at. Being Paris, there is no grid system, mayhem reins. Eiffel Tower Located in the Champ de Mars park, the Eiffel Tower stands out in the relatively low Paris skyline. I can just imagine in 1889 when it was built, it would have been an impressive sight. It still is. We approached from the south-east end of Champ de Mars, and got our photos from a distance, before moving progressively closer. Of course, taking more…
