I might have a slight obsession with @tchibo, but I might have a slight obsession with @tchibo, but can you blame me? This rain outfit for my little one is everything! 🐾✨ The adorable dog print, reflective details for safety, and cozy rain-ready essentials like the coat, pants, socks, and boots—chef’s kiss. Exploring new stores (and styles!) is one of my favorite parts of settling into a new country, and Germany is already winning me over with its practicality and charm. What’s your go-to store for toddler clothes where you live? Let me know—I love discovering new favorites! #LifeInGermany #RainyDayStyle #ToddlerFashion #ExpatMom #SettlingInAbroad #IntentionalLiving #GlobalFamily

My husband Gozie promised to show me the world bef My husband Gozie promised to show me the world before we got married, and now we’re living that dream—not just for us, but for our little one too. Watching the world through his eyes is the greatest blessing I could have ever imagined. ❤️ Sometimes I look back and wonder, How did we get here? From Morocco to India, from Ecuador to our next adventure, each chapter of our journey has been filled with challenges, growth, and memories that have shaped us. This life isn’t always easy, but it’s a life I am endlessly grateful for. To be able to share the beauty, diversity, and wonder of the world with our two-year-old is a privilege I’ll never take for granted. Here’s to the journey that brought us here and the adventures yet to come. 🌍✨ #GratefulHeart #FamilyAdventures #LifeAbroad #GlobalParenting #TravelingFamily #ExpatLife #WorldExplorers #IntentionalLiving #JourneyOfALifetime #CountingBlessings

From exploring Hyde Park to savoring a classic deep-dish at Giordano’s and diving into the sweetest fun at the Museum of Ice Cream, every moment was a highlight. We wrapped it all up with a sunset boat tour on the Chicago River, taking in the stunning skyline and reflecting on how amazing it is to experience new places as a family.

This recipe is the perfect mix of fresh, sweet, an This recipe is the perfect mix of fresh, sweet, and tangy flavors, thanks to the lemon blueberry marmalade and the light, creamy mascarpone coconut cream. 🍋🫐 ⁠ ⁠ The crêpes are delicate, golden, and slightly crispy around the edges. ⁠ ⁠ Here’s how you can recreate this delicious dish at home:⁠ ⁠ Ingredients:⁠ ⁠ Lemon Blueberry Marmalade: lemons, blueberries, water, and sugar⁠ Crêpes: eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt⁠ Mascarpone Coconut Cream: mascarpone, coconut cream, vanilla, and salt⁠ ⁠ The result? Better than I imagined! This has become one of my go-to dessert recipes.⁠ ⁠ Have you tried making crêpes at home? ⁠ ⁠ #LemonBlueberryCrepes #HomeCooking #CrêpeRecipe #FarmToTable #LocalBites #CookingInspiration
Before I get to cooking, I’m gathering some insp Before I get to cooking, I’m gathering some inspiration and ingredients. I start at a farmers’ market in Denver, where I find the most beautiful local honey—the perfect sweet touch for my crêpes. ⁠ ⁠ Then, I make a quick stop at a local grocery store for fresh blueberries, lemons, mascarpone cheese, and more. 🫐🍋 ⁠ ⁠ There’s something so rewarding about using fresh, local ingredients—it adds another layer of meaning to every dish I create.⁠ ⁠ With everything in hand, I’m ready to cook! I’m recreating Le French’s Crêpe Suzette but with my own twist—swapping the traditional orange segments and mascarpone chantilly for a lemon blueberry marmalade and a mascarpone coconut cream filling. ⁠ ⁠ I can’t wait to see how these flavors come together!⁠ ⁠ #LocalBites #FarmToTable #CrepeSuzette #CookingInspiration #FreshIngredients #SupportLocal
