A little bit about me. I bake my own bread since I left France because we eat a lot of bread! Baking our own bread means we always have fresh bread at home!
The kids got a package from my mom this week with a lot of French books!
I would love to buy this little bear from you! Should have a shop on here too 🙂 my 7 little girl would love this to take around with her for her anxiety.
Thank you for your message. I wish I could, unfortunately, I am not allowed to sell anything right now. Maybe in the future! Hopefully, you can find someone to make one for you daughter.
