Ele Story & Motherhood

For every child we have, my mother-in-law gets photos taken of them at 11 months old.  So, recently I began the hunt for a sweet, timeless dress for Genevieve who has her photos next month.  I posted some of these photos in an earlier post, but I wanted to save some of just Sophie for this.  I found the dresses at the sweet online boutique Ele Story.

The story behind the name of this store is so inspiring, and now the mother (and co-founder) is sharing her dream with others as she makes these beautiful dresses for little girls, and I was lucky enough to stumble upon her store and benefit from her artistic talent and her sweet story as a mother.

I didn't set out to buy a dress for Sophie, but once I saw this one, I couldn't help it.

Because, I have a feeling we will need to take some sister photos.

She is so proud of her "pretty dress"!

Ele Story features a mother every month, and this month, they asked to feature Sophie, Genevieve and me.

They asked me questions about my childhood and about my relationship with my mother...of which I told them it was my hope that I could be the mother to these girls that my mother is to me.

So, if you are in need of a beautiful dress for your little girl, or if you want to buy a matching dress yourself, or if you want to learn a little bit more about my mom...head to Ele Story today.

And if you leave that visit with a cart of timeless dresses, welcome to the club!
