There is a wonderful travel website called Wandering Educators. I hear they are the largest source of travel guide reviews on the internet and recently, they interviewed me. Yesterday, the article went live. Jessie the editor, asked me lots of great questions like “how did you find the treasures you share in the book?”, and “How has your life influenced your book?”, as well as, “What was the inspiration for Paris: Made by Hand?”.
I really love it when people ask me questions that I know the answers to.

On a side note, I’m actually feeling a little sea sick for once while on le petit bateau – there is some construction work going on opposite on the canal and it is making my little home rock like it’s never rocked before. Right now I am holding my head and stomach, and trying to take deep breaths to quel my nausea. Why, oh why, are there these types of distractions when I am on a killer deadline?! Deep breaths.
Nice interview. This week I’m taking a visiting Canadian friend to a couple of the fun places featured in your book. Hope that rocking and rolling of the canal waters settles down and you feel better! xo

At last someone else who gets sea sick on a boat that’s moored. I thought I was the only one. A passing vessel causes a wake and I am ill and all people do is laugh.
Tara (Paris Parfait) told me about you and your blog so here I am and it was well worth the trip.
A friend brought your book to my house last week and I devoured it, a copy is on it’s way to me from Amazon as I type this.
