I Dig Design Mom

If you're not already a regular reader of Design Mom, I highly reccomend that you go visit her beautiful blog. It's always one of the bright spots of my day. The mom behind the blog is Gabrielle Blair, and all I really knew about her before today was that she was a designer with 5 (count them) kids. That was enough to impress me. But today I read this interview with her at loveshak and I found out what a thoughtful, interesting, and heartfelt person she is. Here's a bit of what she had to say

With my blog, I can showcase what I'm doing in my everyday life and that gives me clarity about these immediate tasks, plus it changes these everyday tasks into a kind of public expression of who I am. Before my blog, it was: "Gabrielle Blair found the perfect swimsuits for girls this Summer." Although relatively meaningless, this kind of task (finding the perfect swimsuits) can be really difficult. So, I might be really excited about completing it, and maybe I would call my sisters, or tell a friend or two and they would get excited -- mostly out of courtesy. Now it can be: "Design Mom found the perfect swimsuits for girls this Summer." and it feels like a grand thing I can share with thousands of women and we all may benefit from the exchange.

Go check out the rest of what she had to say. Personally, I love reading about other moms and what makes them tick.
