Synopsis

When she arrived at Madame Chic's Parisian apartment as a foreign exchange student, she took Jennifer under her wing and tutored her in the secrets of how the French elevate the little things in life to the art of living.

Years later, Jennifer was back in California with a husband, two young daughters, a dog, and her first home. She began to think about Madame Chic's home—how the breakfast table was set beautifully the night before, the music that always played in the background, and the calm of Madame and Monsieur Chic's ritual cocktail hour together. Jennifer wanted that life. She decided to see what would happen if she didn't perform her chores impatiently or mindlessly . . . and could live like Madame Chic.

At Home with Madame Chic reveals the secrets to having a happy, fulfilling, and passionate life at home. Jennifer explains the morning send-off need not be chaotic, it's possible to look stylish with minimal time and effort, a little forethought makes it possible to serve a home-cooked dinner every night, and details like music and scented candles can set the tone for the whole family's evening.

I loved this book! While not all of the suggestions apply to my lifestyle, the thinking behind them -- simplifying, appreciating time and beauty and people, experiencing life -- are universal. I think the book definitely will be more useful for women who stay at home, but there are tips included for......more

Goodreads review by Gail on October 21, 2014

A bit too preachy since the author's life experience has not extended beyond parenting a preschooler. Not a complete waste of time, as she gives lists of french and classical & other music to try. Maybe I am just not the target audience. Also, the title is misleading. There is very little about "Mad......more

Goodreads review by A B on January 27, 2015

Within this genre, I found this book not terribly inspiring. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad and would probably make a nice gift, but the author lost me when she described warm water with lemon as "loosening the toxins" in your body. The idea that we are full of "toxins" is misleading and fear-indu......more
