an afternoon at the museum // touring musée d’orsay with @parismusetours
Recently, we took a little trip to Paris, and introduced lazy baby to some of our favorite sights. There were picnics on the Champs de Mars, and late night dinners at perfectly perfect bistros. There was even a guided tour of Musée d’Orsay! But before I get to all that, I have to say: I overcame some major traveling mom hurdles. While lazy baby seemingly hits a new milestone every day, on this trip, I hit a few of my own. And really, it’s only fitting that they happened in Paris! Margot and I survived our first solo travel day…

le château de la napoule // a photo tour
After our incredible stay in Cannes at Le Majestic, my body physically rejected leaving — seriously. Somewhere along the way, probably at one of the beachfront restaurants, both the hubs and I contracted food poisoning. When I was finally back on my feet, I was aching for an adventure.

baby travel packing // #lazybaby on the go with little peanut on the go
Like all first-time parents, I spent the week before our first trip with Margot asking a lot of questions. How the hell would we even conquer baby travel packing? We’re not even good at ADULT packing. And how were we going to function in France without everything we’re used to having on hand?! I’d wake in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, shaking over what we would do without our changing table and nappy bin and bassinet and boppy and THIS SERENITY STAR?! I kid. Mostly. That Serenity Star is awesome. Luckily, Le Majestic made our lives…

because we cannes // lazy baby at le majestic
We made it! We took our 8 week old on a plane, flew to another country, spent a week on the French Riviera, and here we are: back on the other side. Older, wiser, and a little more confident as parents. I obviously have plenty to share about the logistics of our first trip as a family of three. But first! I must sing the praises of the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic. No, seriously. This place might just be our most favorite hotel… ever.
