La Mom - an American Mom in Paris
http://lamomparis.blogspot.com
Bonjour! Wonder what living in Paris is really like? What the tourists don't see?
Revel in tales from the Expat Mommy Track in the most beautiful city on earth!
If you think Paris = great wine/food/cheese/fashion/shopping... well, yes and non!
La Mom's Paris is all about bitchy mommy dinner clubs, even bitchier book clubs, pricey mommy maintenance, playdate protocol, and catty mommy profiling. All that with a bit of complaining about the French and dog doo mixed in!
You may reach for the Dorito chips when your kids stress you out, but I keep things under control with a constant flow of champagne, croissants, and café au lait!
