"Family Portrait" - Lucie W.

As we remember our first loves , at MAISON BABA we always fondly remember those who participated in its birth: our very first customers ! These moms for whom, as for us, the beautiful, the well done and the useful should always be one! Lucie is one of them. Faithful from the first hours , his trust, his benevolence, and over time his loyalty, are part of these precious supports which give our approach all its meaning on a daily basis. It is therefore quite natural that we wanted to know her better and share this little life story with you!

Hello Marina! I live in Franche-Comté , in the Territoire de Belfort, with my three children: Alice (9 and a half years old), Louis (soon to be 7 years old) and Juliette (3 and a half years old). After having worked for several years in a hospital environment as a nurse, I am now self-employed as a liberal nurse . I work in my area of ​​residence, which makes everyday life much easier. I can go home to have a coffee, kiss my children and go back on the road.

I am lucky to have a superb understanding with my two colleagues . So we do a work schedule that allows me to free up a lot of time with my three children! To me on Wednesdays and school outings with a snack in my pocket! Also, the children's father is a teacher , which allows us to be in “rhythm” with them.

I can be very demanding with them sometimes. I attach particular importance to politeness (knowing how to behave at the table, respecting others, etc...). In my opinion, knowing how to live is the key in life… Nevertheless, I can also be super cool and often let go of other aspects.

Alice has been a budding artist since she was little. She writes a lot, she draws comics and she has a passion for reading. She is also very sensitive. She amazes me.
Louis is the little guy in the family. Very sporty (you really need one!). It has to move, it stirs and that's normal. He moves me every day when he helps his little sister get dressed, turn on the lights that are still too high… He's a golden big brother.
Juliette is a small third. Everything rolls, it is disconcertingly easy. It's a little doll. She sings in the car and it literally melts me.

The family , self-confidence . Also make them understand that sometimes life is hard and unfair, but that it also reserves beautiful moments, even when you no longer believe in it. And tell them that I will always be there for them . Finally, I hope to pass on to them a taste for music and all the benefits it provides.

Fatigue… or rather, managing fatigue . By that I mean, the fatigue of a mother and the fatigue of a child… Generally the combo is rather complicated! The organization with three children is not always easy either, you have to know how to accept the big "misses".

Appreciate my loneliness . Listen to lots of music . Knitting and a good hot tea make me happy. And work on my new personal challenge: learning the guitar .

My home is like my refuge . It is essential for me to feel perfectly good there. I spend a lot of time there. When we bought this house, we waited almost 4 years before doing some work. Looking back, I can say that it allowed me to know exactly what I wanted, in the choice of colors, etc... For me, too many colors kill the color. I like the dominant color white, with a little touch of color. I loved decorating my children's room. It was a real playground for me.

It is a very easy house to live in . The ground floor is just one large open room . This allows us to cook while watching/enjoying the children. We also enjoy playing games together in the living room while others are drawing in the dining room. The little extra are the large bay windows that overlook the garden… In summer, everything is opened and the circulation between the garden, the house and the terrace is very pleasant.

I'm one of those who dared to wear the white linen sofa , and I don't regret it! On the one hand, this material is one of my favorite materials for its timeless appearance and its ease of maintenance , and because the white adds a little chic and luminous side that I appreciate. In the living rooms, circulation should ideally be easy and practical, for this I easily opt for minimalism in terms of furniture or seating and I easily add household linen - passion here - as a decoration or small blanket.

Your brand speaks to me a lot! We can't always explain why, but what is certain is that I feel a lot of sincerity and love in what you create ! That must be why! And then it must be said that your universe is superb and the quality is there, and that is not negligible!

No, it will certainly not be a house for life. Big personal upheavals are looming and the house is sold. Next bet: make myself a "home" elsewhere... I don't worry about the future pleasure of decorating, arranging, etc...

I would have dreamed of saying “everything starts with a sleep in…” but that's completely false. Seems the future belongs to those who get up early. Eh eh !!!

It all starts with a big breakfast that can last a long time . Weather permitting, we go out for some fresh air on our bikes or enjoy the garden; When the weather is very bad, it's often in the kitchen that everything happens: cookies, brioches, shortbread prepared with 4 hands to fill the little snack boxes for the coming week.

Unquestionably in the family house , in the south of France , in which we have been going every year for a bunch of years now. You can find friends and family there. The children find their cousins. We have a great time there! Roll on this summer!

Hectic, happy & warm!

It's very banal, but I'm in a good position to say that the health of each other is the most important . The rest comes next!
