One Big and One (literally) Tiny Announcement!!

First of all, the fall Domino is out every where now! (Here's an online peek!) Linus is featured, like, three times at least, so it's worth picking up the issue solely for a triple slice of that big, fluffy guy.

I'm so thankful to the wonderful Domino team, especially to Robert Leleux, Domino's Editor-in-Chief, and to Brittany Ambridge, photographer extraordinaire. These two are an epic duo. They work together with such grace and ease. And they are downright hilarious. I love any chance I get to work with them on the magazine as one of the contributing editors, and this two-day shoot of my own house was the tippy of tops. Thanks, Robert and Brittany!

And in even better, more exciting to me news, WE ARE HAVING A BABY! And it's another girl! :)

We could not be a single ounce more happy about her. We've felt for years that we've wanted another (and likely final) child in our family, and after a long road of hardship there, she's finally on her way. I tear up every time I think of how sweet my older girls are being about the idea of having a little sister this January. Nearly every morning they crawl into bed with us and whisper sister secrets and sing little songs to my belly. This is the good stuff, friends. Thanks for being here to share in my joy. xo

    I admire you for so many good reasons, but nothing better than the way you tackle motherhood with grace and moxie. You are ambitious to the moon, but also unapologetic about your family being your top priority. Such a stellar example for me. Thanks Lady. Hope you are/have been feeling okay!

    ReplyDelete
  108. Oh my GOODNESS, 4 GIRLS! If it's not too personal, may I ask if your family has many ladies in it across the board? I ask because the beautiful Julia of ChrisLovesJulia is one of many sisters and I've always wondered if it "runs in the family," or if it's just luck of the draw. CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS - your family is about to get even more gorgeous :) :)!!!!

  113. Congrats on the baby!!! Here is hoping you still have a nice large ottoman.

    I bought the Domino magazine for you, and I was so disappointed. All the pics were close-ups and there were to few. It would have been nice to get more a feel for each room featured. I think it was a real loss for Domino and their readers. There wasn't even a wide angle pic of your amazing wallpaper, or the playroom.

    Still a real feather in your cap.

  132. I rarely feel compelled to post comments on blogs, I even more rarely actually do it. But, you should know how lovely your voice is. As a fellow designer, I respect your eye and as a fellow mama I respect all the DIY projects you take on. Keep it up, in some form....the design community (and more importantly, those who trust us with their homes) needs a voice like yours. Congratulations on the wonderful personal news but know that professionally, you're loved a whole lot.
