I wish I could give fancy chocolates and books to all of you! I had a great time with this giveaway and am already cogitating on the chocolatier for May. (If you have any recommendations you haven’t seen me try, let me know below!)
Happy weekend all of you! What are you reading this weekend? Anything you recommend?

I’ve been wondering if you’ve read Pamela Druckerman’s Bringing Up Bébé. I just finished it and loved it. It was less a parenting book and more and exploration of the way French and American cultural differences impact their approaches to child-rearing. Fascinating, fun and highly recommended!

I did. I sometimes teach a cultural class that looks at differences, or impressions of differences (auto-stereotypes and hetero-stereotypes). I could go on about this kind of thing a long time! 🙂 It’s very much anchored in a particular social class, so you have to take a lot of it with a big grain of salt, but it’s got some good points, too. A book to get people thinking!
