    January 2026 Update: If you are interested in what I am writing these days, head to KimVallee.com, where I explore how cities shape everyday life. And what becomes possible when cities are designed for people, are designed for making life easier.

    At Home with Kim Vallee is officially closed.

    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
