Yesterday, we bid a teary adieu to Neilson as he departed on his 6th lap around france for the one and only tour de france. I kept busy the rest of the day, preparing for a shoot and running pre travel errands. We’re planning to go to lille tomorrow for the grand départ, french air traffic strikes allowing 🤞🏻
My thoughts are truly all over the place at the moment with to do lists, things to pack and ideas running through my head. I’m in the energetic, wildly creative blissful stage of pregnancy and trying to ride the high while I have it.
Over the past week and a half, we’ve had family visiting and fit in beach picnics, birthday parties, ironman cheering on sessions, and lots of bike riding along the promenade. Charlotte loves her petite pommes swim ring and requests to use it when she takes baths. I got her these little jellies and with a bucket in tow, she’s in heaven in the water or playing with rocks at the beach. On my lazier days, I fill up her baby bathtub on the balcony and let her go to town with plastic measuring cups and rubber toys. She loves to help me water the plants with whatever remains.
In a bout of pre-tour panic nesting, we set up a bumper in our guest twin bed which will become Charlotte’s room when baby arrives and somehow 45 min later, I had made Neilson hang an entire gallery wall and moved half of her toys into there. Her latest toy is this wooden espresso machine from zara home that is potentially more for my own enjoyment and trop chic.

Had fun shooting this Mirth summer campaign around the old town in Nice. How fun is it to call hanging out with your friends in a beautiful spot work?! Sipping on citron pressé in the courtyards of hotel du couvent as the sun set.
Okay, off to procrastinate packing some more and hopefully cool off with some boba before school pick up.
