Ta-daaa !

That’s it ! After one month of works, our new kitchen is finally finished ! The table is just missing (it won’t arrive before three weeks) : imagine a white table with anthracite feet and four chairs (2 green, 2 orange), OK ?

Before – after :





What Claire and Momo prefer : the dishwasher ! (it’s the first time they have one)
What we prefer : the return to normalcy !

However, we live in slow motion, because we’re living exceptional weather conditions. Indeed, the period from April till July is the hottest that Switzerland has lived since 1864, and the driest since 1921 (source : MétéoSuisse). We hope it rains, and the temperatures come down !

Remembering Angel Loupi

Two months ago, we won the MeowLover Club give-away on Cody’s blog. His mom Caren was as excited as Claire !

MeowLover Club duplicates your pet on a necklace, bracelet or a keychain. Claire chose to have a keychain in memory of Angel Loupi, with his name engraved on the back. She sent the MeowLover Club one of her favorite photo of Angel Loupi mid May.

And yesterday, she got it. The result is amazing.


Thank you so much to Cody, Caren, and the MeowLover Club for that beautiful gift !

We’re back !

The school year ended well, and the children are finally on holidays since Friday noon. As dean, Claire still has some work at the management office, but the working rhythm is much less stressful than during June.

At the moment, we’re camping at home : the renovation work of the kitchen has started, as well as the pose of stone floor in the laundry.

Here is the state of our kitchen at present :


And here is our temporary lounge – dining room :

And our temporary kitchen (in other words : the garage) :

The rest of the house looks like this :

We can tell you that we’re living in the garden !

At the end of May, we won a giveaway at our friends of Katzenworld thanks to their partner 4cats. The package arrived in the middle of June, but we warned Marc-André that Claire’s thumbs were unavailable until July.

We had thus finally the permission to open the package, but we have to wait to unpack the toys because the house is full of dust everywhere.

We look forward to playing with all these catnip or valerian toys ! Thanks to all our friends of Katzenworld, we’ll send you photos, promise !
