When Spring Comes Early

I hope I’m not speaking too soon but to feel the chilly air of spring this soon is so welcome. It just confirms that winter has been so mild and now it can’t stop the coming of spring. It’s unusual to be raining in February for me but I’m not complaining since it helps clear the grounds of snow. The weather [...]

I would be so proud if I had a daughter who could make cupcakes like these. It’s not just the simple-looking cupcakes we see in the stores and at the cafés but these cupcakes are beautifully embellished.

The Champs-Élysées – Revisited

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again that Paris is our favorite place to travel. It’s the city’s authenticity that’s so captivating that one visit is not enough. The language is so beautiful and romantic in my ears that I wish I learned to speak. L’addition s’il vous plaît. Mercî! Oui. Non. There are some of [...]

All The Man That I Need

I’ve always been so musically romantic on Valentine’s Day and I’ve presented some songs that give meaning to the celebration. This time I want to play this song of Whitney Houston not for the sake of the heart’s day but to give tribute to her undying contributions to the music industry. All The Man That I Need is the only music of her [...]
