How do you say Happy Birthday in French? Oui In France is 6 years old!

on everything else

Oh boy, has it really been 6 years already? The very end of May marks Oui In France’s 6th birthday (and here’s how to say say happy birthday in French). Wow. I started this blog back in 2012 and didn’t have too much of a plan back then except to share my new life in France with those back home and see where it would take me. Over 650 posts later, I’m still here and have discovered that blogging not only gives me purpose but is something I enjoy so incredibly much. Thank you always for your support.

5 Wines in a can perfect for summer

5 Wines in a can perfect for summer

things we love

Summer means fun in the sun, so why not add a cool adult beverage in the form of wine in a can to the mix. Canned wine is better than a bottle when you’re on the move for so many reasons, so here are my top summer wines in a can for summer and beyond. We have red, white, and even sparkling to choose from, so let’s drink.

Are you on the right path?

Are you on the right path?

on everything else

Someone I cared about recently passed away. It’s made me question everything and if I’m on the right path in life. Something you hear me say often is that life is short and it’s been proven to me over and over in so many different ways. Are you on the right path and how do you know? Here’s what I’ve learned.

The problem with fantasy worlds

The problem with fantasy worlds

living abroad· on everything else· travel

A quote at the end of an article I read from a lifestyle brand that’s been a raging success, got me thinking. The article itself was super interesting and positive, and for some reason, the quote at the end left me feeling weird. And I didn’t know why. So to figure it out, I did what I often do when I feel that way. I walked the dog. Here’s the problem with fantasy worlds.

Why does France allow us to slow down and appreciate life more?

Why does France allow us to slow down and appreciate life more?

France· on life in France

One of my readers left a comment that got me thinking. Julie wrote, “What is it about France that allows us to slow down and really appreciate the smaller things in life? I find I get excited about things that I wouldn’t even give a second thought to at home and I find myself doing things I wouldn’t think possible.” Why does France allow us to slow down and appreciate the small things? Or does it? Will a move abroad make you enjoy life more? Should it?
