The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Valentine’s Day has snuck up on me this year…I can’t believe it’s already the middle of February! In honor of tomorrow, I put together a little “ode to parents and children” mix last night. It has some old favorites and some new ones too…most importantly, it will hopefully appeal to both parents and kids alike. In any case, I thought I’d share it in case you, too, feel a little sentimental this Valentine’s Eve.

My name is Gabrielle Blair. I'm a designer and mother of six. We're currently living in a farmhouse in the French countryside. It is dreamy as can be. I post on where design and motherhood intersect.

A trip to Amsterdam.

Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.

Another awesome band out there specifically for children is Lunch Money. I like listening to it even when the kids are around! http://www.lunchmoneymusic.com
My daughter loves your little ones orange shoes… they have ones with a flower (i think) on them out now, which might be the replacement pair to her current orange cloth ‘lola mola’ buggers- already starting to get too tiny.
Music- I haven’t tried to listen to this over and over yet, but seemed good when listening to it while I typed her last blog post.
