The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Spotted on Kirtsy. A FREE service that will convert your handwriting to a font. Love this. Do it with your own handwriting. Or document how charming your kindergartener’s script is.

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:

So cool! I love the idea of documenting my kid’s handwriting!
this is awesome
That’s great! My five year old daughter just started writing in cursive, and it’s very cute!
thanks for this! I’m so excited. I plan on doing this for me and all of the kiddos who are writing. This will be so much fun!1 Thanks again for sharign.
awesome! thanks for sharing!
Sometimes I can’t believe how I am thinking about something, and then I come here and the answers are RIGHT THERE… I was just thinking about THIS VERY THING less than 5 minutes ago – thinking about fonts and wondering how I could create my own… thank you x a million. I love your blog!
How great! I’ll give that a try
I saw this on Kirtsy yesterday and submitted immediately…the kdis are next!
what a great idea!
Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog and have given it the Lemonade Award! Thanks for all the great info you post.
ok this may be one of the coolest things I have seen. Love this!
This is the cutest thing, I think I’ve ever seen. My 9 year old has issues with writing. Now he can type his notes and print them and they’ll still be in his own hand.
Thank you.
NO WAY! oh my gosh! That is soooo cool!
Neatest site ever!
oh that’s awesome. a really personal font for all of us! and unique, too!!
I made mine yesterday. Too cool.
its not free though. you have to pay yo use the font, so its sort of dumb
Great thing to do, but it is not for free. Not anymore anyway.
It costs $14.95.
I was looking for something like that. No free anymore?
