Hello lovelies!  How was your Monday?  Mine went incredibly well…work was over before I could even think about it and I actually got some French homework done last night!   Today I plan on seeing beautiful people, completing massive amounts of schoolwork and then making beautiful things at my friend Lydia’s house with a bunch […]

Or possibly in a barn, on the beach, or in a cave. That’s what OUTSTANDING in the FIELD will bring you. Just imagine: traveling across the country in a huge red & white van, planning fantastic dinners at farms & vineyards & beaches, meeting hundreds of people {farmers, ranchers, chefs, artisans, guests}, eating farm fresh food […]
