What to Know Before You Visit Nice
Nice is such a unique place. It’s French, but with Greek and Italian influences. Its beaches are not sandy, but they are stunning. The Alps are within sight, along with their snowy peaks. It’s perfectly situated and perfectly fascinating. I recently visited for the first time, and I already can’t wait to go back. Here is everything you need to know before you visit Nice, France!
What to Do with a Baby in Nice, France
When I think Nice, I don’t necessarily think “baby-friendly.” You either? Well, now that I’m a single parent trying to live my best life, I don’t really care about “baby-friendliness” as much as other people might. And you know what? I have a great time wherever I go with my daughter anyway! I did find […]
What It’s Like Staying at Octant Hotel Furnas with a Baby
I have only been a mom for just over a year, but in that time, I’ve stayed in several hotels of a wide range of classes. So far, Octant Hotel Furnas was the most surprisingly baby-friendly!

Everything You Need to Know about N Le Spa at the Negresco Hotel, Nice
“Take time for yourself.” “Be sure you’re doing things for you.” As a widow with a baby, I hear this a lot. It’s the most impractical advice, but I know it’s essential for my well-being, and in turn, for my daughter’s. On a recent trip to Nice, I decided to really treat myself with a spa package at the legendary (and too expensive to actually stay there) Negresco Hotel. It was amazing, and worth every Euro. Here’s your peek behind the curtain: What it’s like to experience N Le Spa at the Negresco Hotel, Nice.
What to Do in Palau with a Baby
It was a great trip, but maybe not the most baby-friendly, since most of the things to do are either under water or on tours that can’t accommodate a baby (I asked). We made the most of it, however.

Here are the best things I found to do with my baby in Palau.
