Elisa’s Journal

Hi!

Happy Thanksgiving! Aside from birthdays, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. This year’s celebration is super special because Layla Meadow has joined our family! It is pure bliss to share the Thanksgiving vibes with my DAUGHTER: our incredible traditional recipes, all the men watching sports (Ash included this year), family laughter through the house, dogs lounging wherever food’s being prepared, gingery pumpkin spice aromas…it’s all magic. The gratitude is crystal clear, too.

To mark this holiday, the brilliant Kelly Stuart photographed my family. We had our first photoshoot with Kelly the week of Asher’s first Thanksgiving 2 years ago. The pictures are some of my absolute favorite! I wanted the same experience with Layla! Here’s a peek and I hope you have a dreamy holiday!

Hi!

My favorite pieces are my diamond encrusted name rings. As you know, I am a ring girl. As a child, I loved stacking my mama’s rings from when she was little. I remember a gem encrusted ring, in particular, that we called the “princess ring.” My passion for rings continued as I grew up and certainly shows itself in the vast ring selection on my website. When I was pregnant with my son, I knew I needed something really spectacular to wear daily on my finger in his honor. I decided to carve his name. I wanted the letters to be classic looking with a slightly bohemian bubble letter look, reminiscent of my favorite rock and roll album covers from the Sixties. Since I planned to wear it daily, I decided strong platinum and white diamonds were the way to go. My brother picked up my finished ring from the jewelry district when I was in the hospital having Asher. He brought it to me and I put it on my finger holding my newborn baby boy. These rings had a beautiful birth and are very meaningful to me. When I was expecting Layla, I carved her name in the same precious style. Between my two babies, I also carved my mama a Meme ring, since that’s what my son calls her.

Hi!

I absolutely adore customizable jewelry. There are many jewels on my website with a personalization option. Whether you select a favorite color or a loved one’s birthstone, this is a really beautiful way to make your jewelry meaningful and unique. I enjoy this process. It feels good knowing that the jewelry is infused with honor and love, plus it’s fun seeing how the various gemstone combinations turn out!

Hi!

I love making jewelry. I consider many pieces I’ve made over the years a “favorite.” The feeling I get when I make something I ESPECIALLY love is hard to describe. It’s a mix of adoration, exhilaration, and pride! Well, when I finished this latest collection of hand carved letter studs and placed an “A” and an “L” in my left ear, I knew I had a new favorite!

Hi!

Becoming a mother of two has been a dream come true. Having a boy and girl (and puppy son) is a joy and I feel extremely grateful. Being a working mother is important to me because it fulfills me as a person and I want my children to see their mama’s passion for work. The balance is tricky sometimes but it sure feels good at the end of the day when I see my babies happy and my work is complete! These are some of my thoughts on feeling at peace during these full days of the fourth trimester!

Hi!
Life is exciting and mesmerizing and beautiful since Layla’s July 15 arrival.  Having a baby and a toddler makes for a very full (of love) home.  I wanted to share some items I’m loving during this new chapter in my motherhood journey. Check them out!

Hi!

As many of you know, I welcomed my daughter Layla Meadow Kaplicer on July 15. Baby girl is two months old today! Layla is a happy baby girl with a huge smile like her mama. It’s a dream come true to have a daughter/mini me. Big brothers Bear and Asher absolutely adore their sister. Bear loves laying right by Layla and is so attentive to her. Ash loves kissing her cheek and burping her (with mama)! Watching my babies bond has been a beautiful, awesome, and joy-inducing experience.

Hi!

I created a special playlist for Asher Maxwell when he was in my belly and I recently made one for baby girl. Babies start to hear sounds during Trimester 2 and I want her to hear joyful, relaxing, groovy tunes! Music is a huge source of inspiration in my collection and in my life and I think it’s amazing how music can soothe sweet little babies. I hope you enjoy my BOHEMIAN BABY PLAYLIST II!

Hi!

I am filled with happiness and love to announce…I AM PREGNANT WITH A BABY GIRL!!!

I love being pregnant! Motherhood is endlessly inspiring and I can’t wait to welcome my daughter into the world! I look forward to seeing Bear and Asher as big brothers to the baby! Watching my two boys bond is one of life’s greatest gifts. It will be magical adding a little lady to their happy, sweet, delicious group.

I always mark life’s milestones with jewelry. My “MAMA” collection came to be after finding out I was pregnant with Asher and I’m excited to share new jewels inspired by this precious pregnancy. Check out my Instagram @elisasolomon for lots of new mama-to-be content!

Peace and LOVE LOVE LOVE,
