About Us

I'm Marcia. My husband Randy and I packed up four kids, one dog, two cats and a snake, and moved our whole life to France. Growing up in small midwestern towns, did I ever think I'd live in Europe? Absolutely not. Yet here we are.

When we started this journey, I had nothing to go on. I had never even been to France. When I tell you I had no idea what I was doing, I'm serious.

So I made a little promise to the universe. If I could pull off this giant move, I would help other families have a much easier time doing it. I documented everything along the way to build the guide I wish I'd had.

Here's my promise to you: you'll see behind the door of our journey and what life in France is really like. The challenges you will face and how to overcome them, so you can build the French life you've been dreaming of.
