Breakfast in bed from The Travels of Babar by Laurent de Brunhoff
More elephants and croissants ;)

I’m slowly coming back here after having a baby last November (Lucille Valentine, croissant arms pictured above). I thought I would be back a bit sooner, but I have, as they say, ‘baby brain,’ which has made it harder than usual to put sentences together. I chose to lean into this rather than fight it and embraced a bit of easy time on bed island. However, I’m excited to be back sharing the things that I love. Below you will find eating notes, the breakfast tray of my childhood, postpartum elegance in the form of crispy pajamas, a whipped cream candle to mix with new baby smell, flower suggestions and what I was watching and reading these past few months.
