Recommendation needed for template design company

Bonjour from Paris fellow moms! I've done exactly what everyone on the MBC advises not to do with your blog - neglect it's design. My blog is almost three years old and it needs a new look! Can anyone recommend someone who can design a new banner and template for my blog? Also, I bought my domain name when I started blogging, but never used it. Now I want to and am wondering if this is possible to do while continuing to use Blogger on the back-end since? How does this work? Any insight would…See More

My blog in the news!

Hi Mom Bloggers, I was just interviewed by the famous French journalist, author, and wife of the former Prime Minister - Isabelle Juppé for her "Best of Blogs" recommendations. What's really cool about this is that my blog, which is written in English, has been endorsed by such a talented woman on a French website! I'm happy to share the link to the interview published on the French magazine Femina website: …See More

As far as I know that was true until about 10 years ago, but now I believe the speed limit is 120 or 140 Km/h. But the Germand still drive as if the "no speed limit" thing was still going on, don't they? So scary.

Profile Information

What is your blog name?: La Mom - an American Mom in Paris

What is your blog URL?: http://lamomparis.blogspot.com

Share a little something about yourself with other moms.: 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 poop mixed in!

About MOI: I'm an American mom living in Paris (16th arrondissement) for over a decade. I have a French husband (Big Cheese) and two French Fries (Big Fry & Small Fry).

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!

What is your blogging philosophy?: Lightheartedly making fun of living in France while raising two French/American kids.

I have been blogging since...: last Thursday (Sept 18, 2008)

My favorite blog is...: http://lamomparis.blogspot.com

Flashing - French Style

Posted on July 15, 2009 at 11:01am 0 Comments 0 Likes

I’ve discovered there’s more than one way to be the most popular mom at the school fair.

Some mamans slave over homemade madeleines, some donate bottles of Château Margaux wine to the raffle, and then there’s my tactic.

Flash the dads.

OK, so it wasn’t a part of the original plan. Last Friday was our first-ever school fair – and I was feeling the pressure. I knew I’d see Arabelle, the snooty Alpha-Maman who somehow managed four small children, ran the PTA… Continue

Nanny Don'ts

The new nanny started last week and I don't think our association will make it to the end of next week.

So once again, I'm nanny hunting. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU PLAN ON DOING THE FOLLOWING:

-Asking for August vacation dates on your first day at work (in January).

-Asking for a salary advance on your second day at work.

-Showing up 20 minutes late on your third day at work (with the lame excuse that you got stuck in your buiding's… Continue

If you live in Paris long enough, you’ll definitely meet a Jennifer. “Jennifer” is La Mom’s code name for the typical American girl with the Stars’n’Stripes in her eyes and apple pie on her hips.

Jennifer’s story usually goes something like this – she came to the Sorbonne on her junior year abroad, fell in love with the city, fell in love with a French man, and voilà! Ten years and three kids later, she’s living the high life on the Avenue Foch with a live-in nanny, an ugly-ass… Continue
