The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Blog author and fabulously creative mom, Secret Agent Josephine, threw a green-themed party for her daughter. Green as in the actual color, not the eco-movement. Fabric banners. Mini Puppet Theaters. Green food bar. Lots of great ideas and darling photos! See posts here and here.
Thanks for the link, Katie!

My name is Gabrielle Blair. I'm a designer and mother of six. We are currently living in a dreamy farmhouse in the French countryside. (I have to pinch myself each morning!) I post on the intersection of design and motherhood.

We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
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.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.
Here's something fun. Our family was featured in an episode of House Hunters International! Spoiler: we choose the gorgeous French Farmhouse. It's called La Cressonnière and we take pictures of it all the time. If you're curious, try these links:

Beautiful! I did a yellow theme for my daughter’s 2nd birthday (her favorite color). I wish I had thought of the little paper cups with snacks. So cute!
What i want to know is how she got all those kids to eat all those veggies…
Love the green themed party! What a great idea! I especially like the green food bar, great way to get kids to snack on the healthy side.
