domestic reflections: Jackie as Mom.

Jackie as Mom.

December 16, 2008

I first saw these photos of Jackie and her kids over at Villa Pacis. I love how they capture the essence of what it feels like to be a mom (for me anyway).

Love them too! These pics are beautiful even if it wasn't 'Jackie'. But all the more alluring bc it is... Also love your rainy day advice for me... dvd for the kids and a hot bath for me, I think that's the winning combo! And HUGE congrats on your Cookie spread, you're fam is beautiful as is your home. As soon as holidays are over we need to talk Summer 09 Italy trip. I know a few things I think you'll love:-)

My daughter wrapped pearls around her neck as a necklace a few weeks ago and I told her about Jackie's trademark pearls. I scrounged up some pics for her to see of the ever stylish and classic Jackie. She was so lovely!

Gorgeous photos, gorgeous sentiment, and a gorgeous woman. Wasn't she just the epitome of quiet grace and class?

I love:
Rainy days, moody music, warm drinks, picking fruit from a tree, turquoise water, baking, sharing meals with friends, most everything “old world,” simple, rustic, smart, funny, really hot baths, feeling connected, being pregnant, finding the perfect gift, smelling the tops of my kids’ heads, cacti + succulents, citrus, California light, guest houses, stinky cheeses, everything my grandmother baked, hearing my kids laugh, small world connections, smiles between strangers, snuggling, reading cookbooks, modern, Mediterranean, walks in the forest, being near the ocean, everything about the desert, gold, jeans, Lillet Blanc, natural childbirth, the beginning of a new season, snail mail, hearing someone’s story, people who reveal themselves…

"your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
they come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."

-james michener

"the whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
