In lieu of Provence

Greetings friends! This post is inspired by one of my all time favorite photographers&bloggers. Her name is Jamie Beck and I have been following her blog for several years now, always in aw of her talent and master craft. Last year she left her Manhattan life  for a year in Provence.  In the world of overly saturated blogging, Jamie's work is a breath of fresh,  lavender-infused air. If you have not already done so, do yourself a favor and take a look at her IG feed. I promise, you will not get tired of her daily trips to the farmers market, flowing linen dresses, stray cats, and montages of self-portraits and still life.

Of course, not everyone has the luxury to take a year off from our every day life, but if we must we should all make the effort of following our passions and dreams and try to live in the moment.

Love,

Blerina

Last Monday we celebrated Grace's 2nd Birthday.  We had cake, played with pink balloons and went out for birthday brunch-the weather was just perfect, the first warm day of the season.  It is hard to believe my sweet baby is officially a busy, energetic toddler.  The past two years have flown by and some days have been a total blur. But, what is clear as day (without trying to sound like a  sappy, mommy cliche)  is the fact that Grace has been and always will be the biggest driving force of my life.  She is loved beyond words and my greatest wish is to see her grow healthy and happy.

Thank you to all of our family and friends who called, texted, and emailed birthday wishes!!!

Happy Birthday my amazing Grace! Here is to 100 more!!!

 

Love,

Blerina
