We have gotten a few organization projects done that I am ready to show you today in partnership with Safran Everyday. They make some wonderful home organization solutions that are unfussy, modern, durable and affordable!

Shop Sam's Dreamy Primary Suite Bedding-Featuring Piglet In Bed

I am so excited to introduce you to the brand behind the luxe bedding and linens, Piglet In Bed. Many of you know that Lin and I have been spending quite some time working on our new little home here in New Mexico and we can’t wait to share more of the updates with you end summer, early fall.

One of the items on our list was investing in new sustainable linen bedding. I had discovered a brand called Piglet in Bed while doing some research and was so intrigued by their color palettes and their overall mission. Their founder started Piglet in Bed in 2017 from her mother's garden shed in rural England with just a small range of linen bedding and a couple of cheeky piglets who were willing to be the first models. Today, they’ve expanded their collection to include beautiful, low-maintenance bedding, sleepwear and homewares.

Lighter, brighter, and the place I want to spend all my time.

We’re all drawn to novelty—it’s human nature. The shiny and new all present opportunities for innovation, growth, and progress along the path forward. Of course, change doesn’t come without challenge. And this little Santa Fe home of ours was quite the challenge to fix up. Sometimes I think a full demo is easier than fixing something up! LOL.

Netflix For The Francophile Featuring France Channel
Netflix For The Francophile Featuring France Channel

These are a few questions that usually slide into my dm’s weekly!!!

Are there any French TV shows on Netflix?

What is the most watched TV show in France?

How can I get access to more French TV?

I am really feeling the lapse of French cinema and wonder if you notice that too?

French movies are popular around the world, but they are not always easy to access for everyone. Current streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu don’t offer a wide range of French movies and programs and they are often only available for a limited time. France creates about the same number of films as the U.S., but French movies are underrepresented in streaming platforms for a variety of reasons. These include movie company inefficiencies in distribution and internationalizing production along with changing habits of how consumers watch films. Streaming took off during the first pandemic year and the industry is trying to catch up.
