The fleeting moments of a magical trip through Provence

June 8, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Back in April, my mother, sister and me spent five magical days exploring Provence. Twenty years ago, I spent a summer living in Marseille and hadn’t been back since. My memories of Marseille weren’t grand. It was a grimy city unlike its neighboring jewels Nice and Cannes. Yet soon I would discover that this city recently named the Culture Capital of Europe for 2013, has grown up and become a sensational place to spend a few days while taking in […]

The feet of India

June 5, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair”. - Khalil Gibran For some reason, when I was in India I became rather obsessed with photographing feet. Feet were everywhere and on full display. Perhaps it was the insanely high temperatures that scorched the skin like fire that lead so many to simply remove their shoes. Or else the Indian custom of removing ones shoes before entering a building […]

The perfect escape

May 17, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“Our aspirations are out possibilities” – Samuel Johnson When I’m feeling stressed or disconnected with life, there is one escape that has always brought me home. Travel. Traveling has been one of the most important aspects of my life besides parenthood and marriage. It has inspired me, challenged me and brought me to understand not only myself better but this amazing world we live in. If I can’t travel, then the next best escape for me is nature. I adore […]

A stroll through Montmartre

May 15, 2013 by thirdeyemom

One of my absolute favorite places in Paris is the lovely, picturesque Montmartre. Once a place of artistic gathering of the brilliant minds of Van Gogh, Renoir, Picasso and Dali, today Montmartre is a major tourist attraction that still continues to captivate the soul with its unique beauty, charm and bohemian feel. A walk up to Montmartre through its winding cobblestone streets with expansive views of Paris is the best way to explore this area. However, you can also head […]

Mothers around the world

May 12, 2013 by thirdeyemom

In honor of Mother’s Day, I thought I’d post some photos of the mother’s around the world I’ve seen. The more I travel and learn about mother’s in other countries through my advocacy work, the more and more I realize that we are all the same. We are all mothers whose number one priority in life is our children. Nurturing, loving, holding, and caring for our babies from the first time we birth them to the time they leave us […]

A walk through the right bank of Paris

May 11, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Our first full day in Paris was spent walking. I find walking to be the best way of exploring a city old or new. I had spent six months living in Paris over twenty years ago and have been fortunate to have been back several times since then. It is a city I know and love yet there is always something new to discover and surprise. Perhaps that is why I find Paris to be one of the most magnificent, […]

Inspiration

May 9, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“It is impossible to live without failing at something – unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default”. – J.K. Rowling This week has been a bit hairy so I thought I’d post some of my favorite photos of mountains I’ve hiked as they always calm my soul. Photos above from France, Nepal and Guatemala. This fall, I will be adding Bolivia to my list […]

La Tour Eiffel

May 5, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Perhaps one of the most iconic attractions in all of Paris is the beloved Tour Eiffel. Built in 1889 at the entrance to the World Fair, the Eiffel Tower has become the most celebrated cultural symbol in all of France and is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world. Standing 320 metres (1,050 ft) tall, her iron-latticed wires spire upwards to the Parisien sky. Here are some shots I took of the lovely Eiffel Tower while I was in Paris. […]

Paris through an Olloclip lens

May 4, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“Look at everything as though you were seeing it for either the first or last time. Then your life on earth will be filled with glory”. -Betty Smith Before heading to France, I purchased an olloclip three-in-one lens for my beloved iPhone. As an avid Instagram follower, I began to notice all the incredibly cool travel shots with funky angles. I asked a fellow Instagrammer and blogger, 2Summers, who told me about the olloclip. The olloclip is a quick-connect lens solution […]

The Culture of Paris

April 27, 2013 by thirdeyemom

This week’s photo challenge, Culture, is quite fitting since I literally just got off the plane from Paris which is perhaps the culture capital of the world. Still jet-lagged and behind, I had a chance to upload my photos from my trip to France and have an astounding number to sort through: 1,400 taken in nine days flat! (I broke my record!). I only went through the first set of photos this morning but feel they portray an excellent look […]
