Madame Chic 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. Every day she confronted mundane duties like folding laundry and unloading the dishwasher, and she began to think about Madame Chics homehow the breakfast table was set beautifully the night before, the music that always played in the background, the calm of Madame and Monsieur Chics ritual cocktail hour together. Jennifer wanted that life. She decided to see what would happen if she didnt perform her chores impatiently or mindlessly, if, instead, she could live like Madame Chic.

Jennifer explains the morning send-off need not be chaotic, its 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 familys evening.
