Exciting news

This week has been particularly full of good news...
First, my brother - le Photographe - who took this great photo of Corto, his French bulldog, had one of his shots published on a double-page spread (!) in Focus, a Dutch photography magazine (imagine the feeling when you first see your work published in a national mag!).
Then a magazine contacted me to shoot our holidays home in France and Steve's tree house.
This morning, coming back from his run, Steve found a lovely, shabby white wardrobe which is just perfect for our newly painted lounge and on the work-front, I've been getting some really good CVs this week for these two positions. So now I'm really excited to meet everyone for the first round of interviews because I have big plans for BODIE and FOU and I can't wait to get started with a cool, enthusiastic team to make them happen!

Cette semaine a ete particulierement pleine de bonnes nouvelles...

Mon frere, le Photographe, qu a pris cette photo que j'adore de Corto, son bouledogue, a eu une des photos publiees sur une double-page (!) dans Focus, un magazine de photo hollandais (imaginez le feeling quand vous voyez votre travail publie pour la premiere fois dans un magazine national!).
Ensuite un magazine m'a contacte pour shooter notre maison de vacances en France et la cabane dans l'arbre de Steve.
Revenant de son footing ce matin, Steve a trouve une jolie petite armoire blanche qui est juste parfaite pour notre salon recemment repeint en blanc et cote travail, j'ai recu de tres bons CVs cette semaine pour ces deux postes. Et du coup, je suis maintenant super excitee a l'idee de rencontrer tout le monde pour la premiere serie d'entretiens parce que j'ai plein d'idees dans la tete pour BODIE and FOU et il me tarde de travailler avec une petite equipe cool et passionnee pour les mettre en place!

My home in London

My family moodboard is shaping up...

I'm getting more prints enlarged next week including this one of my brother in Barcelona and one from Christophe (Elodie's husband) pictured here. At the moment, I haven't decided if I lose the black Japanese tape on the wall (the truth is that the masking tape keeps falling off the wall and it's driving me nuts) and do something like this instead or maybe a mix.
I don't want to frame every single photo because I want to retain the informal vibe that our family home has and I like the white space between each photo so right now, I just let it sink.

The two photos were taken by Francois and were my first attempt to interior photo stylism...

Mon family moodboard commence a prendre forme...
La semaine prochaine, je recupere d'autres agrandissements dont cette photo de mon frere a Barcelone et celle de Christophe (le marie d'Elodie) que j'ai utilise ici.
Pour l'instant, je n'ai pas encore decide si je laisse tomber le rouleau de scotch japonais (la verite c'est qu'il n'arrete pas de se decoller du mur et ca me rend dingue) et je fais quelque chose comme cela a la place ou peut-etre un melange des deux.
Je ne veux pas encadrer chacune des photos parce ce que je veux creer quelque chose de relax, informel, comme l'est notre maison et j'aime bien l'espace blanc entre chaque photo donc pour l'instant, je laisse comme cela.
Les deux photos ont ete prises par Francois et etaient mes premieres tentatives au stylisme de photo...

My bedroom in B&W

My brother Francois took these photos...
I love no 1 & no 2. For the past week, I have been living in this fur vintage jacket, bought for 20 Euros during my last trip to France (very Isabel Marant according to my friend Mandy) and either this pair of Swedish Hasbeens or that one (they were in the sale!)

Photo 1: Sweet sign bought in New-Zealand, Vintage mirror given by Elodie for my birthday years ago
Photo 2: Mila's 3-D black glasses, B&W photography book.

Mon frere Francois a pris ces photos...
J'adore la photo no 1 & no 2. Cela fait une semaine que je vis dans cette veste en fourrure vintage, achete pour 20 Euros lors de mon dernier voyage en France (tres Isabel Marant selon ma copine Mandy) et soit cette pair de sabots Swedish Hasbeens ou celle-la (les deux etaient en solde!)

Sweet Paul magazine

The Spring issue of Sweet Paul magazine is out and if you're not familiar with this mag yet, you're missing out on something good because it is one of the best digital magazines out there with inspiring stylism from Paul Lowe, a Norwegian guy who settled down in NYC.
It was Paul's stylism that inspired me to re-vamp our toilets in France with pages from a book and his blog is always full of yummy recipes, beautiful shots and great little crafts projects.

As this is a Special Kids issues, we have a few of our products featured in this issue: the Angel babygro and the Royal Bird rocking chair.

I'm very happy because they've used one of my favourite photos...One I took of Mila when she was 18 months I think (still fitting in her 12 months old babygro...that's just say everything about the height in my side of the family!) on the beach in Cazaux, where we have our holidays home.

She was still a baby, so cute and cuddly, with gorgeous blond curls...the same little girl that came out two nights ago with that!

Mila: "Maman, I don't know what to do, I wanted to have a playdate with Nicolas on Thursday but Jean WANTS to have a playdate with me on Thursday.."

Me: "yeah so...?"

Mila: "...well I don't know which boy to choose..."

I think I'm going to have to tell her Dad to fit an electronic anti-boys thingy at home...I mean Jean has kissed her twice already...on the lips! :-)

Le nouveau numero de Sweet Paul magazine est dispo et si vous n'etes pas familier avec ce magazine, vous manquez un truc vraiment sympa parce que c'est un des meilleurs magazines digital avec un stylisme magnifique de Paul Lowe, un norvegian qui s'est installe a NYC.
C'etait le stylisme de Paul qui m'avait inspire pour recouvrir nos toilettes en France avec les pages d'un livre et son blog est toujours plein de recettes delicieuses, des photos magnifiques et des petits projets a faire.

Comme c'est un no Special Kids, nous avons qqs produits qui y figurent notamment le babygro Ange et le Rocking chair Royal Bird.

Je suis contente parce qu'ils ont utilises une de mes photos preferees...une que j'avais prise de Mila quand elle avait encore 18 months je crois (elle rentrait encore dans son babygro taille 12 mois...ce qui resume en gros la hauteur moyenne du cote de ma famiile) sur la plage de Cazaux, ou nous avons notre maison de vacances.

C'etait encore un bebe, si mignonne et caline, avec de belles boucles blondes...la meme petite fille qui, il y a deux soirs, m'a sort ca!

Mila: "Maman, je ne sais pas quoi faire, je voudrais inviter Nicolas pour jouer Jeudi mais Jean VEUT venir s'amuser avec moi Jeudi..."

Me: "oui et alors ...?"

Mila: "...et bien je ne sais pas quel garcon choisir..."

Je crois que je vais demander a son pere d'installer un truc anti-garcon a la maison ...Je ne veux pas dire mais Jean l'a embrasse deux fois deja...sur les levres! :-)

White stairs....

Half-term is coming to an end...Two more days left in France until our next get-together in April and some great memories of our few days skiing in Andorra with Mila (5 1/2 years old) and Lily (7 years old) before heading back to London (I strongly recommend Andorra to any families who want to go skiing with young children...).
And to top it up, Steve has finally agreed to try white stairs at home so now I can't wait to get back and get rid of our old carpet to get something like this!
I'm also thinking that I may even revamp one of the top bedrooms using Piet Hein Eek's scrapwood wallpaper on one wall...I'm still hesitating between PHE-1, PHE-2 and PHE-3 but I think it would look great against white floorboards. What do you think?

Stairs from Paul Massey's house

Les vacances de Fevrier arrivent a leur fin...Encore deux jours en France avant de tous nous retrouver en Avril et de super souvenirs de nos quelques jours au ski en Andorre avec Mila et Lily (je recommende l'Andorre a tous ceux qui ont de jeunes enfants et veulent aller skier...)
Et la cerise sur le gateau, c'est que Steve a enfin accepte qu'on passe notre escalier a Londres en blanc, du coup il me tarde de rentrer et de nous debarrasser de la vieille moquette pour arriver a un truc canon comme ca!
Je me disais, je pourrais meme refaire une des chambres du 2eme etage en mettant le

papier peint Bois de recup' de Piet Hein Eek sur un mur...J'hesite encore entre PHE-1, PHE-2 et PHE-3 mais je pense que ca aurait l'air super beau contre le plancher peint en blanc. Qu'est ce que vous en pensez?

The cycle of life

On our way to their dance class, at the back of the car, Mila summarizes the cycle of Life to her friend Clara....
First, you're a baby..
Then a toddler...
Then une petite fille...
Then a teenager...
Then a mother...
Then a grandmother...
Then a great grand-mother...
And then you die!"
Here we go, that's clear and simple!

(C) Cortoboy

En allant a leur cours de danse, a l'arriere de la voiture, Mila resume le cycle de vie a son amie Clara....
D'abord, tu es un bebe..
Ensuite un toddler...
Ensuite une petite fille...
Ensuite une adolescente...
Ensuite une maman...
Ensuite une grand-mere...
Ensuite une arriere grand-mere...
Et ensuite tu meurs!"

La voila, c'est simple et clair!

Breast stories

This morning Steve got u at 6.30 to take Lucas for a run so I went to get Mila (5 1/2 years old) to have a little cuddle. Here it goes....

Mila: "What is this big?" (she said pointing at my breasts)
Me: "My breasts" (which are not big btw but seemed bigger lying on my side!)
Mila: "Why don't I have breasts"
Me: "Only women have breasts"
Mila: "Marie-Noelle doesn't have breasts" (Marie-Noelle is her teacher - who is going to be over the moon if she reads this)
Me: ":-) I'm sure she has, she is a woman"
Mila: "She is not a woman, she is my 'maitresse' (teacher)
Me: "Well she is a woman, only grown-up girls have breasts and you are still a little girl..."
Mila: 'I'm not a little girl, I'm a teenager"....

I wish you a a great day!

Ce matin, Steve s'est leve a 6.30 pour courir avec Lucas alors j'en ai profite pour aller chercher Mila (5 1/2 years old) dans son lit et avoir un petit calin.

Mila: "C'est quoi ce gros truc?"

Moi: "Mes seins" (qui d'ailleurs ne sont vraiment pas gros mais qui ont l'air beaucoup plus gros allongé sur le coté!)
Mila: "Pourquoi je n'ai pas de seins?"
Moi: "Parce que seulement les femmes ont des seins"
Mila: "Marie-Noelle n'a pas de seins" (Marie-Noelle, c'est sa maitresse - qui va etre contente si elle lit ca)
Moi: ":-) je suis sure qu'elle en a, c'est une femme"
Mila: "Ce n'est pas une femme, c'est ma maitresse'
Moi: "Well c'est une femme, et seulement les grandes filles ont des seins et toi tu es encore une petite fille..."
Mila: "Je ne suis pas une petite fille, je suis une adolescente"....

Je vous souhaite une bonne journee! :-)

Parisian thoughts and New Year resolutions

Today, we had a wonderful time in Paris. We went to see the Jean-Michel Basquiat Exhibition which was amazing (and started super well when one staff member asked us to jump the very long queue because we had children with us!) and caught up with some friends who had moved back from London to Paris last Summer. Sadly, Steve and Mila went back to London tonight and while Elodie, Lily and Christophe are asleep, I'm wide awake thinking about stuff...

Last night, we had an interesting discussion about family...Elodie felt that for my mum, I was the one who mattered and I thought, she had a relationship and a trust with my dad, especially when it came to sharing books to read, which I hadn't - which is funny because when we were young and at home, it was the other way round. Anyway...that's what is going on in our heads and it doesn't mean that's the reality because luckily, we come from a pretty loving family.
Elodie and I love each other and we are so in tune that we feel like twins so there was no hard feeling, just an honest discussion how things were for us but it got me thinking...
As Steve and Christophe rightly put it...at our age, it doesn't really matter anymore. Parents are parents. They try their best, sometimes they f...up big time and one feels pretty happy to blame them for the rest of our lives (and I'm glad I'm past that!) and sometimes, well we just accept that they are the way they are. As any of us can drop dead anytime tomorrow, it's really not important if they wind us up from time to time or if they feel the need to give us advices we dont request. What matters is that we make the most of the people we love and how we perceive things. Do we want to focus on the things that frustrate us or can we just embrace their differences, be centrered and love them no matter what?
So I don't know about you but I know that this year, more than ever, I want to make 2011 a year dedicated to family and friends and while I'm at it, I will also endeavour to improve my listening skills and to be less obsessed by work. Voila, it's in writing! :-) and now I'm going to bed because I'm off to Maison & Objet for the next two days and then at MERCI on Wednesday.
What's your new year resolution?

(C) BODIE and FOU. All images are family photos.

Aujoud'hui, nous avons passe une super journee a Paris a l'expo de Jean-Michel Basquiat qui etait tout simplement geniale (et qui a commence super bien quand un employe du musee nous a fait venir passer devant la longue queue parce que nous avions des enfants). Malheureusement Steve et Mila sont rentres sur Londres ce soir et alors que Elodie, Lily et Christophe dorment, moi je suis super eveillee en train de reflechir a des trucs...

Hier soir, nous avons eu une conversation interessante sur la famille...Elodie trouvait que pour notre mere, il n'y avait que moi qui comptait et moi, je trouvais qu'elle avait une relation et une confiance avec mon pere, surtout quand il s'agissait de partager ses auteurs preferes, que je n'avais pas - ce qui est marrant, c'est que lorsque nous etions encore a la maison, c'etait l'inverse. Et puis bon...ca c'est notre version des faits..ca ne veut pas dire que ce soit la realite parce qu'au final, nous avons la chance d'etre tous tres famille.

Elodie et moi on s'adore et nous sommes tellement sur la meme longueur d'ondes que c'est comme si nous etions jumelles donc, il n'y avait pas de tension entre nous, juste une honnete discussion ou on expliquait comment nous ressentions les choses mais cela m'a fait reflechir....

Comme Steve & Christophe l'ont justement souligne...a notre age, ce n'est plus vraiment tres grave. Les parents sont des parents. Ils font ce qu'ils peuvent, parfois ils merdent serieusement et c'est facile de tout leur mettre sur le dos quand les choses ne vont pas dans notre vie (un cap que j'ai passe il y a tres longtemps!) et parfois, et bien, on les accepte juste comme ils sont. Comme n'importe qui d'entre nous peut partir du jour au lendemain, au final ce n'est pas tres grave si ils nous prennent le chou de temps en temps ou si ils ont besoin de nous donner des conseils qu'on ne leur demande pas. Ce qui est important c'est que l'on profite au maximum des gens que l'on aime et comment nous, nous percevons les choses. Est ce que nous voulons focaliser sur les trucs qui nous frustrent ou embrasser nos differences, etre centre et les aimer quand meme?

Donc je ne sais pas pour vous mais moi, j'ai decide que 2011 va etre une annee dediee a la famille et aux amis! Et pendant que j'y suis, je vais aussi faire de mon mieux pour ameliorer mon ecoute des autres et etre moins obsedee par le boulot. Voila, c'est ecrit! :-) et puis maintenant je vais aller me coucher, parce que je vais etre a Maison & Objet pendant les deux prochains jours et a MERCI Mercredi.

Quelles sont vos nouvelles resolutions pour 2011?

My bedroom: Work in progress 2

Given how quiet I'm on the blogfront, you could easily think that I went back to New-Zealand... sadly not! Instead, I'm running around like a headless chicken to get everything sorted before going to Paaris!...
So the good news in a nutshell...we have a new Customer Service Advisor called Jasmin (and she is lovely!), new beautiful things arriving (I love the Tribeca lamp!) and at home, I made some progress with my bedroom!!
Do you remember last year when I said I had 3 days on my own before Xmas to finish my bedroom? Well I did... Rather than getting depressed by the thought of Steve and Mila being on the other side of the world without me, I channeled my energy into DIY and painted our wardrobe in white. I still need to do a second coat on the wardrobe and sort out the picture frames, etc but it's coming together and looking very close to my moodboard.

Vu comme que je suis absente du blog, vous pourriez penser que je suis repartie en Nouvelle-Zelande..malheureusement non! Au contraire, cela fait un semaine que je cours comme une debile pour regler tout avant de partir a Paris!!

Bon alors, les bonnes nouvelles vite fait...Nous avons une nouvelle personne dans notre equipe Customer Service qui s'appelle Jasmin (et elle est tres gentille!), de nouveaux super beaux designs (j'adore la lampe Tribeca!) et a la maison, j'ai avance avec notre chambre!!

Vous vous souvenez qu'en fin d'annee j'avais dit que j'avais 3 jours toute seule avant Noel pour finir ma chambre? Et bien je l'ai fait... Plutot que de deprimer et de penser a Steve et Mila de l'autre cote du monde sans moi, j'ai canalise mon energie dans le bricolage et peint nos placards en blanc. Il faut encore que je passe une 2eme couche et que j'arrange les cadres etc mais bon ca se precise et cela ressemble de plus en plus a mon moodboard.

Chocolate pecan brownies recipe

Last Tuesday I organized a surprise diner party to celebrate Steve's Birthday*. I got him three vintage gas stations pricing signs from Three Potato Four (no 3, 6 and 5 to tell him that I love him every day of the year), this map from New-Zealand and these fabulous speakers which he loved! The fourth gift (in my book!) was a whole meal cooked by myself which, luckily, was a success...
Mila and I made chocolate pecan brownies for desert and here is the recipe...prepare yourself to die and go to heaven.
*mostly to make up for the fact that in the past 2 years, too busy here with Xmas orders, I totally forgot the first year and wished him a day too late the second year :-(

★★★★

Maman: "Mila..move"

Mila: "no"
Maman: "Mila move!.... I need to add the pecan nuts"
Mila licking the spoon: "No!...this is SO good.."

★★★★

Mardi dernier, j'ai organise un diner suprise pour l'anniversaire de Steve*. Je lui ai offert trois vieux signes de stations d'essence achete a Three Potato Four (no 3, 6 et 5 pour lui dire que je l'aime tous les jours de l'annee), cette carte de Nouvelle-Zealande et ces fabuleuses enceintes qu'il a adore! Le 4eme cadeau (selon moi) etait un repas entier cuisine par bibi et qui en plus etait super bon...

Mila et moi avons fait des brownies au chocolat et noix de pecans pour le dessert et voici la recette:
Vous aurez besoin de: 300g de beurre, 350g de chocolat noir, 6 oeufs, 450g de sucre brun, 1 csp d'extrait de vanille, 225g de farine, 150g de noix de pecan, du sel, du chocolat en poudre ou du sucre glace. Vous aurez egalement besoin d'un plat d'environ 20 x 30 x 6 cm et d'un cookie cutter en forme d'etoile.
Beurrez le plat et ajoutez du papier sulfurise au fond du plat, faite fondre le beurre et le chocolat au bain-marie. Battez les oeufs, melangez les avec le sucre et la vanille et ajoutez le tout au melange de chocolat.
Ajoutez la farine au tamis et ensuite melangez les noix de pecan et une large pincee de sel. Mettez le tout dans le plat et enfournez pendant 30 a 35 min a env. 180degres/thermostat 4. Testez avec un fin couteau. Personnellement, je les prefere quand ils sont un peu moux mais si ils coulent trop, laissez-les 5 min de plus. Laissez refroidir dans le plat, puis decoupez le chocolat en petits carres et decorez-les avec le cookie cutter et du sucre glace. Voila!! Vous allez mourir tellement c'est bon et allez straight to heaven!

*et aussi parce que cela fait deux ans de suite que j'ai tellement de boulot avec les commandes de Noel ici que j'ai completement oublie de lui souhaiter la premiere annee et je lui ai souhaite le jour d'apres la seconde annee :-(

Breakfast with a princess

This morning I had breakfast with a Princess and her papa here. It was cool....they make fab eggs benedict and the Princess had babyccino all over her face. Then we went to buy a new pair of converse (yellow) because the Khakis from Barcelona are too small and a new pair of red gumboots because these are too small too. In the afternoon, the Princess painted a little white pig with pink paint and sparkling things. It was a really nice day...Hope you had one too. Have a nice evening!

Ce matin, j'ai pris le petit dejeuner avec une Princesse et son papa la. C'etait chouette....ils font des supers oeufs benedictes et la Princesse avec des traces de babyccino partout sur le visage. Ensuite, nous sommes alles acheter une nouvelle paire de Converse (jaune) parce que les Khakis de Barcelone sont trop petites et une nouvelle paire de bottes rouges en cahoutchouc parce que celles-ci sont trop petites aussi. L'apres-midi, la princesse a peint un petit cochon blanc en rose avec pleins de paillettes. C'etait une bonne journee...J'espere que la votre etait bonne aussi. Bonne soiree!

Mon frere

I always talk about my sister Elodie (Bodie) because we are close in age (only 5 years difference), we have similar tastes and of course we have BODIE and FOU but we have a brother!

Francois, 25 years, Warehouse Manager at B&F for the time being (he is doing such a great job that I'm planning to actually chain him up to our packing table) and future photographer.
Today as I was looking at this photo of him taken in Barcelona (pic 2), I couldn't help thinking how gorgeous my kid brother looked.

He was super cute when he was little. He LOVED eating eclairs au chocolat, was bumping into everything and we could always convinced him to give us his sweets. Elodie and I used to make him run to the top of the house to get things for us just by making him believe that it was just to see how fast he was...That was great fun :-)
Then there were the dark years of teenage...and then eventually he became a man and a fine one. Someone who is kind, caring, reliable, still owe me £200 (mouahaha...hysterical French laugh)...I'm glad he found his passion but he is becoming really good at it and I hope like us, he will live his dreams...

Back to school..making pizza

Today, it was Mila's first day at her new French school.

I don't know...she is a pretty cool kid, always super happy to go to school but since we were switching from an English-speaking school to a French one, I felt I needed to be with her. Anyway, she came out of it this afternoon saying 'my school is perfect'...pffuu...that's this sorted...
So this afternoon, I taught her how to make a pizza....

I think it would be quite a nice tradition to start for Mothers and Daughters to make pizzas on the first day back at school, don't you think?? What did you do with your kids?

Di Sole & D'azzuro - Da Copiare!!

Di Sole & D'azzuro....Don't you love how Italian sounds heavenly musical? It's like a song full of energy and passion, something that tells you "Come and enjoy life, be passionate, love what you do, love what you eat!"

So....yes here we go again...our French home (over 10 pages!!) in the August issue of Casa Facile, an Italian magazine.
And I'm over the moon because they featured some gorgeous shots of Steve & Mila on the beach (now up in Mila's bedroom) and things I particularly love in our home like the kitchen cupboard with its holiday mood board, the French bedroom with its soft hues of blues, the pumice stone garland we brought back from New-Zealand and the very old piece of furniture (which is also seriously missing some drawers) I found at the local hardware shop that was closing down....ummmm I wish I was there (sigh)
I've actually brought back three vintage sheets from France yesterday which I'm planning to dye in soft greys like her to throw on our bed for the Summer so next week, I start working on our home in London and therefore will post less because like we say in France: 'On ne peut pas etre au four et au moulin!' (you can't be in two places at once!)

Oops! Before I forgot...Michael Paul is looking to shoot homes whenever in Europe which have not been featured in magazines yet so if you think yours is worth of interest, send us some pics at leblog(at)bodieandfou(dot)com

Mila's 5th B'day party....Major success

Last Sunday, we celebrated Mila's 5th Birthday and it was amazing!
As Mila and I share our lives with the kiwi King of BBQ & Sunday roast, we decided to organise Mila's party with a BBQ afterwards with all the parents to give everyone the opportunity to get to know each other.
Total: 14 kids + 25 adults = a very noisy but happy and memorable afternoon!

The invitation....

The blackboard sign...

The party bags.....

The Gingerbread man decoration....

Mila's cup cakes....

The guests....

Best party activity: Decoration of the Gingerbread man...by far
Best party find: Glitter clutch bag at the £1 shop....a real bargain with WOW factor!
Best creative idea: Decorating cupcakes with Mila's face on. I got the idea from Swiss Miss but added little things that Mila says often on the back of the cards like" "I love you to the moon and back and back to the planet...", "For ever and ever....", "Let's have a huggle" (family cuddle), etc...
Best life saver: Chocolate & strawberry cupcakes from Tesco's Finest range (£1.70 for 2)
Best friends: Mandy, Peyman, Mel, Guillaume, Pete, Barbara, Jerome, Liz, Francois, Julie & Eleonore + anyone else who helped us to make this day truly special. Thank you all
