True, 18 months today! He is often described as relaxed, good eater, even better sleeper, and hilarious. Love this kid. I was thinking the other day that it’s been many many MANY years since I’ve had an everyday life that revolved around family. I left for...

I’m pretty sure it’s heaven on earth when your baby starts to run toward you with “mama!” and big hugs. My heart has never felt so huge.

True is 17 months. 17 months! He is hilarious, super wordy, sweet, and all things joyous. Sometimes when we’re falling asleep or out to dinner or anywhere without him, we’ll get out our iphones and re-watch recent videos of him. We are totally in love, in...

Not too long ago it dawned on me that we could use half doors instead of baby gates. Afterall, we already have a dutch door in our kitchen, so why not continue the obsession with half doors throughout the house instead of baby gates? So, my dad got to work using a...

I want to tell you how it feels like breathing, this love. Like deep, life affirming, breaths. I want to tell you how everyday is a new discovery of deeper joy – for both of us. Him with his sounds and sights, me with my expanding heart. I want to tel you how I...

Florida sky Hi friends, We arrived home yesterday after an emergent trip to Florida. We’ve been there the last many many days helping to care for John’s very dear and beloved granddad. (Bella with a 5mos old baby True earlier this year) While we were gone,...

Dear True, A couple of weeks ago we celebrated your first birthday. It was an intimate gathering of family who came to celebrate the miracle of you, the sweetness of your first year. It was a lovely lovely weekend of celebrations and I just still can’t believe...

(it reads, “seeker of all things true” – new art/print available —>here) I’ve been in the studio quite a bit lately – having some fun with birdies, dragonflies, butterflies, wings. Although the girls remain my fave thing to...

it’s more than a song. it’s a chant. a mantra. a hymn. a meditation, and a lullaby. i’ve been singing it to baby True and I hope that every word, every piece of it, sinks into his soul, his bones, his heart. May the Grace of God be with you always,...

(new painting. print available —> here) I keep having these conversations about how I often feel like I’m spinning. Spinning in and out of mama world, in and out of biz world, in and out of house chores, and on and on. As time moves forward, the...
