At Home with Kim Vallee

    LIVING

    Farewell….

    Posted on September 25, 2017

    At Home with Kim Vallee is officially closed. In order to focus on my STEAM education activities with Bidouilleurs, I won’t publish here anymore. I’m touched by all the support you gave me during all these years. I met wonderful bloggers and readers both online and offline. I will forever cherish these fond memories. Take care. XOXO
