Flowers for You!

Hello! It’s Jo here. I do apologize for my lack of blogging action over the past few weeks – let’s just say, it’s been a very, very busy time here at Raw Mom HQ, as (along with bringing you the amazing Raw Mom Summit) we shepherd our latest baby through the design stage. Which baby, I hear you ask? Why, my beautiful raw food recipe e-book for kids!

I can’t wait to unveil it for you – but I must be patient, and know that its birth is imminent. I am one proud mama!

But I wanted to send a little love your way, and what better than with a dose of beauty in the form of a picture of gorgeous roses? The roses are placed lovingly in the laundry sink (whispered aside: I wish my laundry sink looked like this!) of Vicki Archer, an expat Australian who restored, to perfection, an old farmhouse in Provence.

If you’re a Francophile who’d like to indulge in a little escapism, head to Vicki’s “French Essence” blog at http://www.frenchessence.blogspot.com/ – or lose yourself in her luscious, padded-cover coffee-table book, My French Life. This sumptuous book reveals the journey of the farmhouse’s restoration, provides a taste of provincial French life and its people, and is filled with the beautiful photography of the talented Carla Coulson.

Until next week, sending you scented-blossom hugs and wishes for carefree summer days…

Love Jo
