    Vanessa a su nous transmettre l’amour de son métier. C’est intéressant de la voir prendre soin des commandes de ses clients et d’en faire un “produit” de choix, le meilleur pour eux. Et elle exprime bien aussi le dilemme de la maman “dehors” à cause de son job avec le souci du “dedans”, le foyer et les enfants, et de la maman “dedans” avec le souci du “dehors”.
    En tous cas, elle maîtrise la situation. Bravo !

    Its a juggling act for any women – albeit mother, partner, daughter etc. But thank you for your kind comment.
