The Intersection of Design & Motherhood

Oh my goodness! I think this man should win some sort of “coolest dad” award. The video is longish (7 min), but totally worth your while. So amazing!
Thanks for the link, Jared.

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:

Wow, that was amazing! Thanks for sharing it; it surely put a smile on my face:)
That is so seriously cooooool!
Agreed!
So awesome!!!!
Wow! And I feel good about myself as a parent when I can fit walks into our day…..
And I thought I was cool for doing science experiments with food coloring with my kids. Really opens your mind to a whole new level of experiments as my kids get older. Definitely inspiring. Balloons are awesome.
love it! although i think it’s giving jared all sorts of crazy ideas…he was looking up space suits last night….
This. is. AWESOME!
And so are YOU, for finding it and sharing it with us. :D
Oh jeez, as a space nerd this was so awesome it brough tears to my dorky little eyes! How amazing!
Really incredible!
My favorite part was how he got through the whole checklist of pre-flight preparations and finished with, ” . . . and then we pray!”
What a great dad, and what an unforgettable experiment together.
WOW……..
immediately sharing:).
My head almost exploded when I watched this and my boy’s heads will explode when they watch it. Amazing. Thanks for sharing this!!
That’s pretty mind blowing!
Just amazing. I’m speechless.
Holy Cow! With a dad like that, you would grow up thinking that ANYTHING is possible in life! That is SOME school science project!
my daughter just finished a grade 12 world view project. I think she has grown up believing all things are possible too :)
