Sex on the to-do list

Life is busy. That’s for sure. Kids, work, errands, taking care of the home. Too often, the relationship with our partner becomes an afterthought amid the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. We let ourselves fall into patterns — uninspiring routines — and interaction becomes limited, especially when it comes to sex. While a […]

Let’s hear it for Belgium!

And let’s hear it for the new king! What better day for King Albert II to abdicate and his son Philippe to take over than the National Day, especially since July 21st commemorates the day King Leopold I took the constitutional oath as the first king of Belgium, in 1831, less than a year after […]

Miami Beach

Sun confusion!

Finally the sun has come out in Luxembourg. After a long grey winter that left many of my patients feeling down in the dumps, and everyone with vitamin D levels in their boots, we can put on our shorts and sun dresses and head to the outdoor swimming pools. Or can we? I am confused. […]

Let’s hear it for France!

Swedish Simplicity

The CLEW decorista takes a look at the Scandinavian wooden cabin -” hytte” in Norwegian, “stuga” in Swedish. Most people have one, or have access to one, and use them in the holidays and on weekends. By the sea, by the fjord, in the mountains or in the forest. It’s often about the pleasures and […]

Let’s hear it for the U. S. of A.

“Hey baby, it’s the 4th of July” goes the chorus line of a song by X, an L.A. punk band from the 1980’s. Indeed it is. Also known as Independence Day, July 4th commemorates America’s liberation from that pesky British rule. The original Thirteen Colonies legally split from the Empire two days earlier and on July 4th, 1776 […]

Let’s hear it for Canada!

July 1st is Canada Day, celebrating the anniversary of Canada’s confederation. The Constitution Act of 1867 joined Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and the Canada province (now Ontario and Quebec) into one country, granting Canada a substantial amount of independence from England. Not until 1982 did Canada become a completely independent country though, and this was also […]
