bonjour, mes amis!


fancy nancy is a staple in our house. she loves to share super-fun vocab (words like 'splendiferous'), loves everything fancy (like another little girl i know), and she's super-sweet. plus, there are beginning reader books, perfect for little girls who want to read something other than the 'biscuit' books by themselves.

we read 'bonjour, butterfly' the other day at the bookstore, and i'm afraid it's started a lifelong obsession with taylor.

français. france. la tour eiffel. bonjour. oui, oui. patisserie (my personal favorite). crepes. and taylor's biggest obsession so far ... paris. everything she talks about now is about paris (enunciated as, 'par-eee'). we drove downtown and while we were walking outside, she comments, 'mom, this town is just like paris. i love it."

so, in one of my emotional, ‘she’s going to leave me and move to paris when she gets old enough’ moments, i told her when she turns sixteen, her and i will go to paris together ... i better start saving now.


so, thank you ‘fancy nancy—bonjour butterfly’ for making me broke.
