    About This Blog

    I am French. I live in Cleveland, Ohio with my Indian husband and our 9-year-old daughter. Oh, and I am also the owner of Simply Gourmand, an online French grocery store.

    This blog is about our life as a multicultural family. The beautiful, the challenging, and the funny parts. It is also about other multicultural families and their diverse experiences.
