Bonjour!
Happy New Year! Bonne Année! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a refresh. It’s been a long two years of pandemic and political tragedies (a long, long two years; le sigh) and I need a new, more positive outlook (and some extra self-care).
One way I’m getting to reset button it to reimagine Joie de Vivre. I love writing and designing the blog – check out my 2021 year in review here – and she needs an updated focus and design, as well as a more focused mission statement on joyful living. As my life changes and evolves in light of new commitments and priorités (e.g., having a bébé, no big deal), so goes the blog.
Puppy, check. Fireplace, check. Slippers, check. It’s cold, y’all.

This year, you’ll find posts on pregnancy and parenting and sustainable and eco-friendly living. Joie de Vivre will also feature expanded sections and new pages dedicated to yoga and recipes – and maybe even a new author headshot and color scheme!
I remain ever committed to joyful and authentic living everyday and hope the blog inspires you to try the same. Hold on to your hat and, as always, merci for reading!
How will you refresh and restart in 2022?
Merci for reading and please subscribe and share!
À votre santé,
Katie
