Hey Natalie Jean

The blog Hey Natalie Jean has won a cult following with writer Natalie Holbrook’s honest, inspiring and often witty posts on topics like marriage, babies, nesting, style and DIY crafts. Natalie’s first book, Hey Natalie Jean is one part manifesto and three parts ideas, projects and advice. Beautifully illustrated and whimsically designed, the book offers 35 short essays and how-to’s that serve as a guide to life: making date-night magic in the middle of the mundane, successfully exploring the city with a three-year-old and creating a satisfying daily routine that still leaves room for little adventures and lots of magic. Natalie’s optimism, creativity, keen eye and zeal for life are palpable and she encourages others to make their lives beautiful with ease. This heartfelt, personal collection of essays and photographs show Natalie’s ability to identify and describe life’s lovely incidentals in the everyday routine of errands, play dates and naps.
