Hi, my darlings! We got back from England last night, after a wonderful, dreamy, windy, sunshiny week visiting our relatives in Cornwall. I keep gazing at this photo, which my cousin took while we were on a boat to the beach. I wish I could beam myself right back there. :) How was your week?P.S. My own work/baby juggle post is coming up today. Thanks to the amazing mothers last week, and love to you all! xo

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo and I'm glad you had a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed the motherhood posts. I don't have kids, but plan to soon. I work at home, and have often wondered what that would look like with kids. Thanks for introducing me to all these role models!
Welcome back, Joanna! That photo is so beautiful and sweet. I can't wait to see more:) Happy Monday.
ReplyDeletetracy, don't you miss it? i'm having pangs...always so hard to come home from vacation! :)

Hope you had a blast! I love the fam pic :)
ReplyDeleteI'm 21 y/o, but I absolutely adore and admire your blog. So glad you had a lovely time in the UK. The photo is just stunning. The three musketeers. :D
ReplyDeletecourtney, i'm SO glad that you said it makes mothers feel less alone -- that really was the main goal behind the series. i had felt so alone at the beginning of motherhood (despite having a great husband, mom, friends, etc.) -- i found it ESSENTIAL to talk to other mothers and not just hang out in playgroups, but really TALK. i'm so, so glad you enjoyed the series. very much looking forward to doing more. xo
ReplyDeleteoh, haha, sonya, that is so sweet :) thank you.
ReplyDeleteThat photograph speaks a thousand words! You all look like such a happy, fun family. Have a beautiful Monday!

New to your blog....in love with that picture--it just oozes contentment and happiness with the ones you love most. Blessings for your re-entry into everyday life! :)
ReplyDeletewow, what a gorgeous photo. That is definitely frame-able and totally captures a moment. I love Toby's cute little bandana.
ReplyDeletewhen I first met Gus's nanny, (2 mornings by the way, big juggles) I asked her if she wanted a cup of tea. She said she didn't drink tea, or any hot drinks for that matter. I stared at her a little bit too long. She completely threw me! Glad you got some sunshine down in Cornwall. London is miserable :( but we do love to talk about the weather. x
ReplyDeletehow was your trip to england? my inlaws are there and i have a daughter the same age as your son. i'm worried about that long of flight with her! also the posts last week were awesome, thanks so much! as a full time work at home mom with pretty much no nanny help, it's nice to hear other tips! :)
ReplyDeleteHi, I hope you next series would be on how relationships change between parents after having a baby. your photo is beatuful.

ReplyDeleteHello Joanna, welcome back! I can't wait to read your post: I'm a journalist and writer and I wonder how I could juggle my work and a baby, when I'll have one!
ReplyDeleteThis photo says it all. Glad to see you had an unforgetable time in the UK. Love the cartoon, hee hee. Will have to share it with my English buds. Have a good week. Hopefully Toby won't suffer too much from the jetlag, hey! Bises
ReplyDeleteHello Joanna, welcome back from your trip. I absolutely love this photo and hope to someday take one just as lovely! The weekend was super hot here in KL...hopefully it is cooler over there on the other side of the world in NYC. Have a great week!

Love that picture!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time over here! That cartoon is so true and as a coffee lover I'm joining in with the anarchy :)
ReplyDeletei'm finding it hard to take my eyes off of that photo too. it's a heart-stealing photo. Toby is just sooooo cute....
ReplyDeleteI'm so inspired to see you had a great time. We're heading to the UK next month our four month old. I'm a little nervous of dealing with baby jet lag. Was that a problem for you?
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT family photo!! High-five cousin! (:
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! Hope you loved your time over there!
ReplyDeleteMuch love,
B
in love with this photo! what a beautiful family you have!
ReplyDeletethat photo makes my heart hurt -- in a good way, it is so sweet and genuine! beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. Welcome back....
ReplyDeleteI read you every day...and... I have to say that i didn't like your guest post.
I don't have kids, and i believe that women lite shouldn't be so focused on them. I understand that the posts were about woman life with kids. I read some of the motherhood posts but i had to' skip most of them. A little to much for me. We all know it is possibile and like advices on how to' do it. For me it was a little to much. So, agami... Welcome back.
I am willing to read you also on other topics.
Welcome home!! Looks like you had a beautiful time! By the way, random question... but is that a different wedding band you have? xxx
ReplyDeleteI love how tightly your son is clutching that ice cream cone. Yum! Is his dad really holding him tightly to cover-up that he's covered in ice cream? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a perfect family photo! The trip must have been a blast!!! ~Val
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo! Probably one of the best souveniers from your trip:)
ReplyDeleteYour guest posts were nice, but I definitely missed reading posts from you! Welcome home - and lovely photo.
ReplyDeletehttp://tragicandlovely.blogspot.com/
One of the most beautiful family photos I've ever seen. Love.
ReplyDeleteThat. photo. is. beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing family photo!!! A must frame!
ReplyDeleteKiss your cousin! What a gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteI've really, really enjoyed your series! I don't want it to end... and can't wait to hear how you juggle! Thank you so much for putting this together...
ReplyDeletekathryn, the jet lag was ok, actually -- he stayed up a little late the first night (until about 10pm UK time) and slept a little late the next morning (until about 8am UK time). but after that, he was basically on british time. i was surprised at how quickly he adjusted his internal clock -- i think babies really respond to daylight and figure it out! or else we were just lucky on this trip, haha :) good luck!!
ReplyDeleteHaha that little cartoon is too funny! Need to send that to my mom in law who is English and still lives in the UK. You've been lucky it was sunny there, welcome back!
ReplyDeletejessica, i'm wearing my same wedding band, but also with another little band from Catbird (a shop in brooklyn) with a little heart on it. haha, you are observant!
ReplyDeleteerica, congratulations!!!!! thanks so much for these sweet comments :)
ReplyDeleteRemember when you were talking about getting nostalgic about moments that were currently happening? This is totally crazy but I feel nostalgic for you looking at this photo. It is so lovely and I hope you and your family will always know the happiness you ooze in this photo.

Hi Joanna,
ReplyDeleteSo you were in Polruan?! That's so funny, my in-laws are on East Street and regulars at the Lugger! My husband's dad in on the council so I wonder if he knows your grandnmother? What a small world! I hope you had a good time and that England treated you well! x x x
lovely photo! welcome back!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://mstwirlyskirts.com
Aaahhh...I love this photo. So sweet, serene, and I LOVE how happy your husband looks. Sweet, sweet photo.
ReplyDeleteAhahahahah! I love the cartoon! If only anarchy was that simple in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous picture. Glad you enjoyed yourselves :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an AMAZING family photo. Truly inspiring.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo. Happy family :)
ReplyDeleteinspired winter, NO WAY!!!!! my grandmother lives on West Street -- and we went to the Lugger one night, i wonder if we saw your in-laws! that is SO funny. i adore polruan more than anywhere in the world.
ReplyDeletemy grandmother's name is Mary Goddard -- how funny that would be if they knew each other! :)
love this foto!!!!! I have been in Rome!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet image and awesome comic. You're the best. Really truly.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is gorgeous and so peaceful...

Cute picture!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most beautiful photo I have seen on your blog!!
ReplyDelete♥ Mandy (and the name of my blog is: MENNEPEN)
That's just such a wonderful photo.
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny- I just spoke to my father in law (Martin Akerman) and he just said that he knows your lovely grandmother to say hello to! Small world indeed! (Although Polruan is a pretty small community I suppose..!) I'm glad you had a good time in Cornwall and hope you visit again soon! Did you have any time to see any more of the UK?
ReplyDeleteHuge fan of your blog of course!
x x x
this pic tells us everything we need to know about you!
ReplyDeletebeautiful!

I love this picture! You should frame it in your apartment. Lovely of all three of you.
ReplyDeleteEveryone's already said it but it is worth repeating, that picture of your family is so beautiful! I hope you frame it. Can't wait to hear more about your trip to England!!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? That picture is amazing. Welcome home! Funny cartoon. And thank you for arranging to sustain us, even in your absence. Gush, gush.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! I love that cartoon! We've just moved to NYC from Scotland, and I'm not a caffeine drinker. I can't tell you how many times I had to refuse tea. Eek! When I visited a friend, her mom bought me my own fruit tea and then made sure I drank it;).
ReplyDeleteThat is a stunning photograph of the 3 of you :)

Love your photo, what a cute lil' family:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family picture, Joanna. That's a keeper.
ReplyDeleteI was just in England last week too! I'm editing photos now and it almost kills me to be home and not there anymore! That picture is perfection... You guys are the sweetest little family and it just makes my heart smile!
ReplyDeletelovely photo! And Dagsson can be so funny and cruel! Did you know he´s icelandic? That should be your cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteLove

the sweetest family photo ever! looks l like everyone is sitting on your lap ;)
ReplyDeletexoxo
What a beautiful photo! You and wee Toby have the same expression on your face. So sweet.
ReplyDeletehildur, yes! he is my hero, haha! :)
ReplyDeletethat is SO funny! martin akerman, i will have to ask my grandmother! hilarious!! :) we never really see any other parts of the UK, other than cornwall, dorset and bath, where our family lives. i'd love to take a longer trip sometime and really explore -- wales, too!
ReplyDeletebest photo ever.. im sure your family will cherish this forever :) it's that kind of photo :) Hope to hear more about your trip to england!
ReplyDeleteseriously, that photo is SO beautiful! i love it. you all look so content.
ReplyDeleteand the mothers work/baby/life balance posts have been super inspiring.

Most beautiful family photo ever! Time to give pinhole press some business ;)
ReplyDeleteThat little cartoon made me laugh. I have an English husband. Last night, while i was working on my computer, he asked me if i wanted more tea. I said no but he brought me some anyway. His English mind couldn't even register the "no to tea". So funny.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! That photo is precious! Have you seen Craig Ferguson's impression of a British person getting angry? It's pretty funny (since they are always relatively calm, even when they are upset!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a seriously gorgeous shot! :D I've never been to England...yet. Some day. We did just get back from Maya Riviera, Mexico and it was FANTASTIC! :D Happy Monday!
ReplyDeletethe photo is perfect! :') how lovely and sweet x
ReplyDeletesydsense.blogspot.com
that photo is absolutely gorgeous! hope it was sunny for you down in Cornwall :)
ReplyDeleteSally
It's funny, because when I look at this photo I think about Italy, not England. I guess it's Toby's icecream, and your the clothes, I don't know... Or the look in your eyes...
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely photo of your family!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic photo! It's so tender and real.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo Joanna. Your family is lovely. :)
ReplyDeletewow, gorgeous family photo. glad you had a great time and made it back safely.
ReplyDeletehaha, victoire, i JUST ordered a framed shot from pinhole press :)
ReplyDeletethanks for these lovely comments :)
ReplyDeleteso cool you guys have family down south- such a beautiful, ancient part of the world, one of the places I feel most relaxed (I'm not Cornish at all, I'm from much nearer London but it's a favourite holiday place of mine)
ReplyDeleteAwww! How darling! Sometimes the best family photos are not in front of landmarks where you vacation, but photos that reflect the fun you have together -- like this one!

ReplyDeleteI love this photo. I think it is worthy to be framed. :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite picture I've seen of your sweet family. Especially of you. You look so content.
ReplyDeletethat photo warms my heart.
ReplyDeletewe are in the process of adopting a little one and this picture makes me long to be a mom.

Breathtaking & beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my god Jo, this is such a cool family portrait!! I absolutely love it! You should definitively get it enlarged and printed or do a B&W moodboard at home like the one I did in our home with Japanese masking tape here
ReplyDeletehttp://bodieandfou.blogspot.com/2011/04/my-home-in-london-lounge.html
I would like to say that we English don't actually drink that much tea. But I have at least one cup a day so I guess we do! Ooh and I was in Padstow this early summer! We try and go there as much as possible... We came close by Polruan house hunting! We would love a place in Padstow, though. So if anyone's thinking of selling ;P Glad you have a lovely time xxx
ReplyDeletewhat a cute baby you people have,, god bless you,,
ReplyDeleteBest photo ever! Not just the sweet people in it, but the whole mood, and even the composition! You must blow it up and frame it in something gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis photo of you and your family is so precious. I'm so enjoying catching up on your blog. It's been too long!
ReplyDeleteEeep! Adorable. So adorable.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a photograph to treasure. What a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteThe three of you look so happy in this picture. Definitely frame-worthy!
ReplyDeleteI consider everyone must read this.
