How Dog Poop Helped Me Discover Paris Street Art

By Stacey Freeman 4 Comments

The Reasons Why I Love Paris Street ArtUnlike my other two visits, this trip to Paris was different. We stayed in a much less touristy area surrounded by Parisian locals. The benefit to being in a less touristy area is actually experiencing a city as if you lived there. To be frank, the area was grungier than I expected. But grungy has its perks, like really cool Paris street art.The Reasons Why I Love Paris Street ArtWhat I realized from this trip to Paris is that you can find beauty in anything if you look hard enough. I was pretty disgusted by all the dog poop (it was everywhere!) and all the trash. But despite these negatives, my Paris neighborhood still was beautiful.The Reasons Why I Love Paris Street ArtLast week, I talked about the really cool doors I saw in Paris. Beyond the architecture, I noticed so much amazing street art. Nearly every street I turned, I found something beautiful to photograph. Finding Paris street art became one of my goals during my week in the city. It made the trip more exciting and helped me to get over myself. When I felt like complaining about the area we were staying, I reminded myself of all the beauty.The Reasons Why I Love Paris Street ArtOne morning, I wandered around the streets close to our hotel and I noticed this little silhouette on a planter. I knelt on the cobblestone street attempting to get my shot.The Reasons Why I Love Paris Street ArtTwo Parisians walked up behind me to see what I was doing. They looked at me curiously as I tried to get my shot and then started to speak to me in French. Since I don’t speak French, I just said sorry, I don’t speak French. I moved on and searched for more Paris street art.The Reasons Why I Love Paris Street ArtTheir reaction to my photography taught me something important. Most people don’t notice the beauty that is around that. Most people don’t appreciate street art. Although it is a little thing, this experience reminded me to search for the beauty and uniqueness of each place I visit. Rather than whine about what I didn’t like, I chose to appreciate the special opportunities I get to travel.

We had the most magical Sunday — the morning at @knottsberryfarm and the afternoon at Hermosa Beach with friends. Today was a day I said to myself, and to my friends, just how blessed we are to live here. There is no better feeling knowing that I finally found home. We missed you, LA.

Have you had “the talk” with your kids yet? At Have you had “the talk” with your kids yet? At what age did you first talk to your kids about sex? At what age did your parents talk to you about sex? 

Recently, my kids were asking many detailed questions about how babies are made, so I knew it was time. Although it was a bit awkward and my kids felt very embarrassed, I think it’s super important they feel comfortable asking me these questions and talking to me about it.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing tips on how to talk to your kids about sex regardless of their ages. We started with some age-appropriate books that really helped. Link in profile or stories.
