Originally from Chicago, in November of 2010 I arrived in France with my husband, my son, two cats and five suitcases.

How We Became an Expat Family

My husband has long planned an expatriate assignment in his career, and thus when the opportunity came it was a quick decision - a couple hours of discussion and an affirmative reply in the morning. I will admit, I originally pictured it all coming at a different time; the decision two weeks before giving birth, and the move five months later!

What I Enjoy Most and Least About Where I Live

Clermont-Ferrand is a vibrant town situated in central France. A short train ride from Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux and the Mediterranean, it is also located in the heart of volcano and forest country, leaving us a million places to explore. Quite paradoxically, I only wish there were a low-cost carrier or a high-speed train line!

Using a one-bowl chocolate cake recipe with creme fraiche icing I made a train cake for my son's birthday complete with fondant tracks. Fun to make and a hit with all the kids!
