Here at Starr-Style, it wouldn’t be a holiday if we didn’t stretch out the celebrations for a couple of weeks. So, this past weekend, we spent a delightful afternoon at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens in honor of Amanda’s First Mother’s Day!!
In the marsh pink orchid’s faces
With their coy and dainty graces,
Lure us to their hiding places–
Laugh, O murmuring Spring!

We had fun taking turns holding little Gigi!!

Uncle Adrien!
A frog he would a-wooing go,
Whether his mother would let him or no.
A frog he would a-wooing go,
Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho! Heigh Ho!

Little Miss Precious!
Since it was my first mother’s day as Nana*Starr, I donned my very special Nana brooch (originally given to my mom by Adrien) and a long chain glittering with stars!
NANA STRIPES
a short memoir
One May afternoon, Nana was babysitting four-year old Adrien and his best friend, three-year old Jonathan. She sat on the big, comfy couch in the playroom like the Queen. Kneeling on the couch on either side of her, the little boys explored her beautiful face etched with years of love and laughter and proclaimed that these were not wrinkles, but rather, Nana Stripes!
Proudly earning my Nana Stripes!
The Happy Little Family!
Happy First Mother’s Day, Amanda!
Love,
Starr
Special Note: Thank you, Adrien, for the beautiful, botanical photography!
