Happy sunday

The sun is out, Mila has her little Aigle red gumboots on and a far too big for her t-shirt on, gift from her cousin Kerry in New-Zealand and she is cleaning Lucas’s doghouse.Mila: “Luccaas…Tu peux te pousser* it”s a job for grown-ups“ Days cant get better than that. Have a great sunday with your friends and family *Can you move, it’s a job for grown-ups http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs

Mila: “Luuuccaas…Can you close the door! I’m cold”Papa: “Are you legs broken?”Mila: “No they are frozen”I couldn’t help laughing…Kids are such matter-of-fact. The Sun is out, the papa is gone to Hong-Kong )which reminds me how much I enjoyed discovering Initial Fashion last time we went there), Mila is cleaning Lucas’ doghouse… http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs

Breakfast time…

Mila is eating her poached egg on toast kindly prepared by her papa…Lucas (a LOT bigger now than on the photo) goes out in the garden, leaving the door open.Mila: “Luuuccaas…Can you close the door! I’m cold“Papa: “Are you legs broken?”Mila: “No they are frozen“I couldn’t help laughing…Kids are such matter-of-fact. I’m on the look-out for great ideas to celebrate the Minx’ birthday. Last year, we had a ball preparing it together so it’s back on! She and I were super excited about doing a Ugly Betty themed B’day party but it looks like I’m the only mum who watch the series with her five-years old daughter :-(In the meantime, I’m loving what Chelsea did for Project Wedding (C) Frolic Mila mange l’oeuf poche que son papa lui a gentiment prepare pour le petit dej’…Lucas (BEAUCOUP plus gros que sur la photo) sort dans le jardin, laissant la porte ouverte.Mila: “Luuuccaas…Est ce que tu peux fermer la porte! J’ai froid“Papa: “Est ce que tes jambes sont cassees?”Mila: “Non elles sont frigorifiees“Je n’ai pas pu m’empecher …

Moodboards by Aurora

We’ve started the second round of interviews for these two positions which is not an easy task because the first 10 candidates we selected were all great people with a nice personality/work ethic and good experience. To help me to narrow down to the best two, the four candidates selected for the second round, have been asked to put together a marketing proposal and to write a press release on House Doctor‘s new collection. Initially, I wanted to ask them to put together a moodboard because I felt, it was the easiest way for them to express how they perceive our brand (plus it was a fun exercise) and for me to see how creative they were. However Steve felt that although I do moodboards on a weekly basis, it may be too complicated for them (guess who is the creative type in our family :-)…so imagine how happy I was when Aurora presented me this morning these two beautiful, inspiring and summery moodboards….What do you think? http://feeds.feedburner.com/blogspot/UxVs
