Lessons From Madame Chic by Jennifer L Scott

One of my favorite books right now! The premise is Parisian tips for the feminine American. Anything from common courtesies, to chic simplistic fashion attire and so, so much more!! Check out "Lessons from Madame Chic" by Jennifer L. Scott on the shelves or online - you will love it!! Mama and I are expecting to spend the Christmas Holidays and bringing in the 2014 New Year in Paris so stay tuned for our own little parisian inspirations to come later this year!

A Job Well Done

Alexis has a lovely pet sitting/walking business; "Leash and Collar".

These are natural gifts that simply are not taught; it comes from the heart. It shines through this video as we capture film of one of her walks with "Teddy"
