About Me

Bonjour!

My name is Ann, filipina, I’m thrilled to share a little about myself. I live in the charming village of Mazeray, nestled in the heart of France. I’m married to a wonderful French man, and together, we have been blessed with two beautiful daughters who bring joy and laughter to our lives every day.

Living in France has been an incredible journey, and I’m constantly in awe of this country's beauty, history, and culture. From exploring quaint villages to immersing myself in the vibrant traditions, I’ve embraced every opportunity to discover and experience life here.

When I’m not out exploring, you can often find me enjoying quality time with my family, trying new recipes, or soaking up the peaceful countryside surrounding us. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip or simply a quiet moment at home, I cherish every experience that adds to our family’s story.

Thank you for stopping by! I’m excited to connect with you and share more about life in France and beyond.


Warmly,

Ann Deh

Why a Humidifier Matters for Baby’s Health I didn’t realize how much of a difference the right humidity level makes, especially for babies and toddlers.

There’s no manual handed to you when you bring your baby home, and each stage of childhood comes with its own set of challenges. That’s where parenting books can be a lifesaver. Reading books filled with expert advice and real-life experiences can help parents navigate the highs and lows of raising children, giving them the confidence to handle whatever comes their way. Gain Expert Insights to Handle Everyday Struggles I remember the first time my toddler had a public meltdown.
