Last month, the girls over at Small Fry spent the afternoon with me and Ruby to film us for their sweet series on mothers and their kids. Shot by the talented Jenner Brown, this little movie beautifully captures the simple moments from our day. Thanks so much to Jenna, Nicole, and Emily for having us, and to Jenner for his ability to capture beauty in everyday things. I'm honored to be includedโI'll treasure this little film forever.

Oh this is gorgeous. And such a great memory for you to look back on for years to come. Ruby’s hot pink tights are the best.
Super cute video!
Aww this is so sweet, your little girl is the cutest! Love it <3
Aw Joy…What a beautiful gift. Some day Ruby will see that and her heart will melt. How many littles get to see how they were with their mommies that young?
That is too sweet. My heart just melted!
That was the sweetest video! It’s always so special to get a peek into a mother’s world :).
p.s. your home is beautiful!
OMG, super cute! Love it! Your place is nice too, btw.
What a sweet video! Keep it aside until she turns 18…this is what mummy used to do with you all day…(btw i’m always so happy to see the map of Paris in Ruby’s bedroom!)
Aw I loooove this video. Sooo sweet!
Thank you Julie! And yes, we love that print of yours! ๐
Joy
So beautiful.
Seriously melt my heart. She’s the cutest little peanut I’ve ever seen, and her hair is perfect on her little face! This is beautiful!
Oh my gosh, Joy! This is the darn cutest thing ever! What a happy and lively baby. And those pink tights on her!!! Thanks for sharing – I really enjoyed.
Joy, this is just perfect! I am so in love with you and your daughter! So sweet! And your home is so lovely! Loved every bit of this!
That was the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. Loved getting a peek into your life with Ruby. So cute!
Hi Joy, What a sweet video of you and Ruby! Where do you find all those cute clothes for Ruby?! The white and black stripe pants, the onesie in the drawer with hot pink stripes? I’ve never seen baby clothes like those before. May I ask what some of your go to stores are for finding cute children’s clothes?
Thanks and all the best!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful afternoon with us. It really made me miss LA.
Your home is lovely and it looks like Ruby has a wonderful life and is well-loved.
Ruby is such a little cutie!!! I absolutely love this little video! And I know you’re going to love having it when Ruby is older!! So precious!

Joy
Thanks! I love that little girl. I think Ill keep her ๐
Joy
Ruby is such a cute little girl! And this video of you two together is perfect. Love how there are also clips in there of the scenery there.
Joy, this was amazing! The music went so perfectly and had such a positive message.
I loved seeing Ruby eat macarons from Bottega Louie too. An early start to the finest of LA ๐
seriously adorable. and special!
What a beautiful film! Oh gosh, it will be so lovely to keep for when she is older x
This video is beautiful! Watched it again and again. And I’m obsessed with the song. You truly will always treasure this! X
Cutest film ever! Definately one to treasure!!
Oh too much cuteness to handle!! ๐
What a GIFT! Beautifully preserved memories.
This video is just so sweet – and will be a lovely memory for down the road. I also have a baby girl born Oct, 2011 and this is such a fun age now with all the learning and discovering happening every day.
Btw – where did you get your pants? I am in the market for black skinny leg pants and love the ankle zip on yours.
this is so incredibly sweet! something to treasure forever! i really love the style of filming, it’s absolutely beautiful!
Gorgeous film! I loved seeing how tender the relationship you and Ruby share. ๐ I hope to have that with my future children xoxo

This is really beautiful ! I was moved just looking at your simple day, and Ruby’s vitality, and the love in your eyes… The music also makes for a touching video.
Thanks Jess!
My pants are corduroys from J.Crew from last year. These ones are navy.
Joy
Oh my god! I love the “cat moment”!! My girl is JUST the same age as ruby and she loves cats too. It is one of the few words she knows and she shouts “cat” every time she sees one (in a book or in real life)…
And the sleepy eyes at the end of the video are just tooo sweet.
I am just tuning in after falling in love with Blog Inc. What a super sweet video! You and your daughter are adorable. ๐
Thank you! And so glad youre enjoying Blog, Inc!
Joy
what a beautiful film. i love the feel the music adds.
Ruby is absolutely adorable! I love her nursery. So simple yet classy at the same time.
Oh this made me smile! ๐
Oh, words cannot describe how delightful this little video is! My favourite part is the bit with the cat.
You both look gorgeous!
Loved this so much. I have been following you on instagram and little Ruby is such a gem (hehehe get it?). No but really, love this.
why did you delete my comment? ๐
Those Small Fry girls make the most amazing videos! What a beautiful thing to have. Love seeing all these real moments between a mom & her kids. ๐
Haha..thanks! ๐
Joy
Hi Sandra,
I didnt delete your comment. Are you sure it went through?
Best!
Joy
So beautiful, Joy!
This is adorable, I almost cried because I realized Ruby will be able to see this video when she’s older.
How amazing is this new technological era and how it connect us with our past so easily.
LOVE IT
Probably my favorite video on your blog. We miss you guys!!
that is precious! katie herzig is a dear friend of ours and my hubby plays drums on her records:) loved hearing her in your video!
Hi Joy – I adore this video. Your Ruby is such a doll. If you don’t mind me asking – what is the name of the push car that Ruby is riding in at the start of the video? She looks like she is having a blast and I think my daughter might enjoy it as well : ) Thank you! Claire
Hi Claire!
Thank you! Its by Radio Flyer ๐
Joy
What a great video, I loved everything about it. Your little one is the sweetest.
p.s. I absolutely love your place, that wallcovering in your living room is just awesome. You have a beautiful home.
This is a great video joy. You two always seem to have the best time together!
May I ask where the blue shirt you are wearing is from in this video? It is too cute.
Best wishes!
Awww, so precious, Joy!
I loved this to pieces. It was fun to watch how your day with Ruby takes a similar rhythm to my day at home with Annika, my one year old. They are so curious! I think I must get her one of those push cars for when spring finally comes to Minnesota.
oh my, I teared up! I’m such a sap! It so reminds me of a day in our life too, my Alice and Ruby are the same age so many of the same kinda moments.
What an AMAZING keepsake. You two will treasure this one forever!
i love this video. You and your family are so super sweet. It helps remind me to simply… enjoy each day and fill it with love for my girls.
So cute! If you could, where is the bowl from at the end of the video?
i just discovered your blog and i am obsessed!
everything from ruby to your style to those plates are uber adorable. i would like to ask where you got every single thing but that would be a long list. haha
Thank you! I usually try and link to all items that are still available, but you can always ask!
Joy
Dear Joy & Ruby, you both are super-cute! Thanks for letting us peek into your world.
– Speaking of ‘peeking”, my eyes got caught by Ruby’s bookshelf, would you mind sharing on day a list of recommendable baby reads?
My brother just became a father and I’m a bit out of touch with the new stuff… all the books in Ruby’s shelf look so adorable…
Best,
Alina
