The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Hello Friends! I’m happily home from New York. My kids were so pleased to have June back in their arms. Oscar kept asking me, “Mom, guess who’s the prettiest baby in the whole world?” When I would answer, “Who?” He would sigh like he was in love and say. “It’s Baby June.”
This morning, Oscar asked me to take some pictures of just him and the baby.
And then he wanted a few of just him. : )
How was your weekend? Any fun adventures?

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.

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.

Your son in the third picture is certainly a carbon copy of Ben Blair!
You have lovely children.
your children are adorable!
How gorgeous are your children?
SO VERY.
Welcome home!
Oscar looks a million years older with that buzz cut. We miss you.
really great pictures!
Can't get enough of those cute faces.
Love to all the darling Blairs.
Such nice photos…and how different from you "Say Good-bye to NY Central Park" photos!
Love family road trips. We have done that same drive several times and it never ceases to stun me with its beauty.
Hey, is that rock in the first picture Green River fossil fish? A couple years ago we did a Salt Lake City to Yellowstone and back loop, and collecting fossils was the unexpected highlight of our trip. We went to Warwick Quarry where there was a wonderful father/son team manning the quarry. We ended shipping home 80lbs of fossils UPS!
So cute! Let Oscar know that June has his eyes!
So sweet. And wow does he ever look like Ben Blair. You are a blessed woman. Me too; spent A LOT of time in the pool (usually my husabnd takes her) with my brave two year old. I just love her- we got a good one :)
Aww, how sweet:-). Lovely photographs too.
A testament to beautiful parenting ! Take a bow. You warmed my heart .

I love Oscar’s PJs.
What a sweet boy, he is! and he’s right, Baby June is such a pretty baby:)
So darn cute! Sibling love is wonderful….
Aw, what a cute little boy (and baby girl!) and sweet big brother! I loved having a big brother growing up. I’m sure she will adore him as much as he adores her. :)
Cuties. June is so pretty.
Those are darling expressions they both have! I just love Oscar’s freckles!
A had a fun adventure this weekend! A good friend of mine was visiting this weekend and we went on a cupcake tour of NYC! It was so fun and so very delicious!
Awww, dang it all. I’m wearing mascara and eyeliner today. Sigh, I guess the dreaded raccoon eye is a small price to pay for true love so beautifully captured. “Oscar & June” sounds like a bold, retro illustrated children’s adventure in the making to me…
That’s so sweet of him. They’re adorable.
This made my heart melt.
What an amazingly sweet boy! You’ve definitely raised him correctly!
That is so cute! Fabulous photos!
Glad you are home. Especially glad for sweet children photos today! No big adventures – we enjoyed our last weekend of summer and started our classes today!
I love seeing your other beautiful children interact with baby June – so cute!
I dropped off this onesie and some other goodies off to my friend who’s expecting her second child (first boy)

We hit the farmers market, bought some produce, and more white peaches – I’ve perfected a White Peach martini, so there’s definitely more of that in my future. Then we went on a triple date with some friends we met online (they’re adorable son, Max is a month younger than our kiddo).
And when we got home, I signed up for Aerial Silk beginner lessons. Yay for coupons through Living Social!
how adorable are they? it’s almost too sweet to bear it!
Darling! I immediately thought of how happy they’ll both be looking back at these photos when they are older. So precious to savor those sweet brother and sister moments!
Just adorable!
The perfect big brother {swoon}!
Wow, that is really sweet. Especially coming from your boy:) He’s going to have wonderful respect for women, I can already tell. So great.
his freckles! love moments like this.
long live big brothers
Oh my…so completely sweet. Those faces…precious.
Oscar=sweet=awesome
June=beautiful
They are just precious! Fantastic pictures!
Be still my heart- that is so cute!
They are cute as buttons. And they are look alike!
so adorable and sweet. i think my heart might melt or swell up and float away! xoxo
Oh my, that is so sweet it just about makes me want to have another baby for my olders to love on!
So sweet. Great seeing you and Baby June atBlogher
Wow, look at how June is growing! She looks like a different child from the newborn babe in the hospital. I love to see how these babies change and gain weight–I’m a natural worrier, so weight and growth help calm me down!
And Oscar loving June so much–darling. I hope you catch that on camera. He’ll laugh and love himself for it.
It really was great seeing you! You look great and so does Baby June!
cute cute cute cute cute cute cute !!!
thanks for sharing such a sweet moment!
ahhh cute. Nothing like jammie kids! June is filling out and getting a sweet little round head. Cutie kids there.
This made me tear up. Oscar is so sweet! And he’s right, baby June is very pretty indeed. She looks so much like you, Gabrielle. (And so does Oscar!)
Cute kids! I love the photos!

She IS pretty! She just has the perfect little baby face :-)
Precious post.
So adorable, lovable and precious. The perfect antidote for the contention which seems to be everywhere! “There is beauty all around!”
She is beautiful and that Oscar is too cute for words!
I looooooove those rainbow snake pajamas! We miss you Blairs!
They’re so adorable together. They’re like little nesting dolls. :o) (And Oscar is quite right about Baby June.)
What beautiful children – and not just looks!
They are adorable! I love his PJ’s, where are they from?
You have such cute kids!
We flew to San Diego for the weekend and went to Sea World. We had such a great time and the weather was perfect!
Sooo sweet! I ♥ sibling love! I also love June’s classic furrowed brow (what are they so worried about?!) and Oscar’s beautiful freckles.
oh those 2 look so much alike—adorable!
Aww, what a great big brother. So adorable, both of them.
Welcome home!
What a handsome little model and a sweet big brother!
Your children are just BEAUTIFUL! :-) x
You have the most photogenic kids I think I have ever seen! I have a 4 month old and a 2 year old and my pictures only occasionally turn out this beautiful.
This is 100 shades of cute!
