I miss museums. I know I'm spoiled to live in Southern California with some amazing museums within an hour drive from my home. But I miss walking in Paris, which feels like a living museum itself, and then just deciding last minute to walk into the Petit Palais because it's free, and being astounded by rooms like this... Not far after entering the Petit Palais when we were in Paris a few months ago, did we stumble across this sculpture. It wasn't until I saw the title of the

French is the 4th language I have ever learned - the one I started latest in life. And yet, it's the one I am most passionate about mastering. When I first arrived in Los Angeles as a 2 year-old who only spoke Korean, my parents didn't concern themselves with providing me English language lessons.

It's simple, beautiful, satisfying, and supremely delicious. For years, even whi

Intentional, focused time with our kids in the morning sows seeds for life-long fruit. The idea of focusing our attention on the true, good, and beautiful, each day, and feasting on it with our kids in a targeted and purposeful way is the magic and power of homeschooling. I look back on all our years of giggling at A.A Milne, reciting Shakespeare, and discussing deep theology and never a morning was wasted. Even if the time dragged on longer than we had planned. I'm sure yo

My family and I have had the blessing of being able to visit France multiple times (ask me for my "France for almost Free" email). And over the years, we have compiled some tips that have made every subsequent visit easier. I get a lot of questions from people about recommendations for visiting France, so I have created this free resource to share with you that answers a lot of FAQs but also addresses things I wish we knew during our first trips there. Like, how we could have
