A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of working with Monica Daar of Moonlit Photography on this motherhood/nursing shoot, which came out even dreamier than I could have ever imagined. Gideon is definitely living that Second Child Life full of hand-me-downs and slightly less attention than Sophie got as a baby, so I was thrilled to get some photos of just the two of us.
I had such a good time creating my spring and summer cocktail e-book earlier this year that I decided to put together another collection of drinks for the holidays. There are a few twists on classics as well as a couple of family favorites, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
Happy holidays, everyone!
I must have blinked and today, somehow, my baby is four years old.
There are so many things I could say about the past four years, about how she made me a mother and activated a version of myself that I had only ever seen in my dreams. It has been the honor of my life to be her mama, and a true joy to see her step into the role of Gideon’s Big Sister. She is funny and silly and active and sweet and also somehow wise beyond her (four) years.
Happy birthday, Sophie. We love you so much.
